Hello everyone,

My name is Jean and I have suffered from this on and off thru the
years, but lately it hasn't gotten to be a constant. Where it always
hurts now, no breaks in between. I also have a tumor that is in my
pelvic area, called a neurofibroma, it more or less growin out of the
nerve endings. I have not had any problems with it, and have been a
couple neurosurgeons for it. But they were hesitant to touch it.
because it is wrapped around some nerve endings. That was awhile ago.

But it never effected anything before, I didn't even know it was
there until it was found by accicent. Now in the past month or so, I
am having the sciatic nerve kick in so bad, that I can hardly stand
or sit without discomfort. I just recently had a MRI, to see what is
going on with this tumor and if it has grown and that is why I am in
so much pain. They found this tumore back in 1997, and it has been
watched for about four years or so. But I have been in between jobs
since and by the time you are able to get insurance, you either lose
the job or else they closed down altogether. Then when you get a
job, the insurance will not cover pre-excisting conditions for a
year. It royally sucks.

But that is where I am at. I just wanted to share and put things out
there. I would really appreciate any support I can get.

Thank you, Jean
