Re: [Neurofibromatosis] Symptoms

About the bumps I heard that Vitamin E helps slow them
down, and well alittle Vitamin E every day cant hurt
you can it? I know that its expensive I heard from a
co-worker (dosent have NF) says when she takes Vitamin
E she bruises easy. Is that common from taking this
Vitamin and does anyone know if this is true( slowing
down the bumps) I really dont mind them too much I
have 2 really small ones on my face that upset me for
awhile but live and move on I have one on my head,
each one of my shoulders a weird one on my arm that
looks like a bug bite with hair and a large one on my
leg. I am in the child bearing dtages of life. Do you
get more bumps when your are 20-30 and pregenet as
apposed to not being pregnet? thanks for your help
Love Sherri
