Re: [Neurofibromatosis] Re: Learning abilities of NF1

hi jhon,

thanks for the reply and yes it was good...lolz...
well the excersaie thing was said by millitary doctors, actually my nf1 was diagnosed when i signed for army. during the medical  they  told me  what nf1 was and how it can increase under extreme conditions at millitary acaedmy for example they make you stand in snow fall and then shower you with water and during this activity you are just wearing a underwear so under these conditions my mind and body wont cooridnate properly and nf1 might hit me hard....

and for chat room, well i am getting my home mach8ine fixed and once i done i will surely use it.
thanks again
zubair

I have not heard that exercises makes tumors grow more, I just don't
know. I have heard that a cholesterol called lovastatin might help a
little with memory, but more testing has to be done. I might someday
give it a try. there a few drugs that help with nerve pain I am on a
high dose of Gabapentin to help mine, I do have side effects on mine.
the DR might had a different drug to go with it the next time I see
him. There a good chatroom at www.ctf.org it use to be just nf.org
but the got better support with the Org. when the renamed it
childen's tumor foundation, the chatroom if free just sign up. I have
been to busy and lazy so I have not bee there for a few weeks.Just
look for chattroom in the list there and click on it. Everone there
is great. they chat about whats going on in their life and not just
about NF, you should give it a try. They might have more insight
about things for you they I am. I don't think IQ means much I can not
spell for beans and I have to work at it and think and think and
think, I have a IQ about 140-150. and like you I forget things all
the time. my wife just shakes her head I tell her honey you just
don't know how it is like ! It's like file not found error computer
will shut down now. restore not working, hard drive has a headcrash
all files gone, not enough ram to run program. should I go on and on
LOL. Did I get you to laugh ?

Take Care, John
