    Dr. Asthagiri at UVA is the most amazing, personal, reliable, comforting, honest and the most talented neurosurgeon. When he preforms surgery on my son I'm confident it will be successful.

      @@Daviid_Martinez I was 13 when It developed. Now I am 20 and I have lost my hearing and speaking ability completely. Facial palsy, ulcers and what not! If it was not for my parents, I would have resorted to self harm because communication is essential to me..I was literally a person who loved to sing and hear music. I still remember music and some songs I hymn to myself in my mind💔 Don't know how I am gonna live the rest of my life..It's already my 4th tumor 😭 plus I won't be able to give birth to children in future..I cannot see them suffer like this! I was a happy child once, then NF2 came in my life like a devil. Tho I still have hope for better days!

    Getting my MRI tomorrow, I was fortunate enough to just have fibromas and ADHD for the 1st 30years of my life, over the past year I have developed large plexiforms, severe pain, hearing and vision loss, and an unsteady gait... Trying to get into a specialist without great insurance was near impossible. Now I finally qualify for Medicaid and can start seeing a neurologist again.

      The pain is something I think always gets overlooked, mine has recently become crippling since since last fall, it's tough finding a doctor in my area that is willing to provide me with anything that will make it manageable, I'm in bed most of the day now.

    Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with practitioners who investigate this issue? I have a non gene specific ehlers danlos syndrome that lines up with classical criteria. We also have a family history of brain stem glioma and acromegaly. I have a lot of the other autonomic neuropathy problems from confirmed small fiber polyneuropathy and idiopathic anaphylaxis requiring iv medication intervention. I also have tarsal coalition and so do both of my parents and siblings, with mine requiring reconstructive surgery several times. I have a lot of unexplained masses on my arms, back, and butt, and I keep getting told that its not EDS related, but the same doctors only recognize type 1 NF and that I dont have that because of their small understanding as to the other types. So just trying to figure things out, I guess, since my lesions/masses look like nf2. I'm also having progressive ocular issues asymmetrical with one eye and night blindness in addition to the normal pupil dilation issues of dysautonomia
