Click image to read how I went from surviving to Thriving!
I was officially diagnosed with NF when I was 33 yrs old. I grew up watching my Mom and older brother struggle with the symptoms, but never had any real issues until after my own diagnoses. As a child, knew I was different, but no one knew it was because of this disorder. After symptoms began appearing, even I denied that it was in fact NF.... hiding in my fear that it was. It has taken me a long time, to finally accept the diagnoses, and break the cycle of fear and resentment. Instead of just living with NF, I have chosen to THRIVE! Using the fear and turning it into doing something productive and positive!
