I started out writing this blog to be only related to NF. The tumors and complications of NF can cause body and facial disfigurement, which can in turn wreak havoc ones self-esteem. I have neurofibromatosis and know all too well the problems that it can cause. I have fared better than some and worse than others when it comes to NF. For quite a while I have searched the internet, in an effort to find solutions to the emotional pain and anxiety that NF has caused for myself and others affected by NF. During that search, I came to a startling realization. Actually, it wouldn't have been such a surprise had I been a little less self centered and thought outside of the box, just a little bit. That realization was, there are many other people who are disfigured and do not have NF. I plan to write about this sudden epiphany in an upcoming blog. Accidents, disease, acts of violence, any of those things and more can cause a person to look different. I wanted to create a place for people who look different for any reason, to come together, learn and grow. I hope that you will find my blog and website helpful, enlightening and informative. I only ask that you come with an open mind.
