It is amazing how prevalent a disease can be, and yet so unknown. Neurofibromatosis (NF) is the most common neurological disease caused by a single gene. Both forms, NF1 and NF2, affect more than 100,000 Americans. The Children’s Tumor Foundation Web site (www.ctf.org) says “this makes NF more prevalent than Cystic Fibrosis, hereditary Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington's Disease and Tay Sachs combined.” While there is no known cure for NF, and it’s various forms, research is working toward an effective treatment.\n\nThe goal of this site is to create a local communication center for people with NF, as well as medical providers. Soon new features will be added, such as chat rooms and forums to encourage communication between the people involved. please check back often and help us grow.

Im right there with you. You kinda feel that you dont really fall into any minority or group/click... just you on your island. I think we're unique enough to just be... us. Its lonely, isn't it. I often have trouble finding good friends i can count on, but have an abundance of mutual friends that i can hang out with... but it seems like you can never find anyone who can relate to you.

I think you definitely have a problem here. I saw a special on TV, I think it was on intervention where a girl did this too. I can't remember that name of the disease but she definitely had a chemical imbalance. I really think you should see a doctor and don't worry....your not the only one!!!

This sounds really difficult for you. I can tell you that you might want to talk to a real professional about this, not just us internet people. You may be suffering from depression, which is not just a psychological disorder but a chemical imbalance in your brain. I know it's hard for you to reach out, but PLEASE try to get yourself some live help. You would be surprised at the difference it will make. Good luck!

Thanks for asking. It's hard to find someone who is willing to listen to other people problems, especially from a stranger.

These people can be very, very needy. One minute, you're their world, their best friend, the next, you're their worst enemy. People with this disorder are hard to get along with, they need constant attention and if they don't get it, they will turn against you.\n\nEx. of what they might do - they might call you 20 times in one night to chat and if you try to tell them at 4am that you're tired and want to sleep, it'll be the end of the world for them, they'll feel like you hate them and want nothing to do with them.\n\nThese individuals are frienship extremists.\n\nI suggest reading up on this disorder in the DSM-IV.\n\nSweet's answer is right. \n\nPS multiple personality disorder (now known as dissociate identity disorder) and bipolar disorder are NOT the same thing as borderline personality disorder!!!!!!!!!!

Another place to "talk" to others is the mental health sanctuary online. \n\nhttp://www.mhsanctuary.com\n\nThey have postings and areas for families of people with various mental health disorders. They have an area of resources for books and materials and a list of counselors as well.\n\nHope that this helps!

I have a form of it called Asperger's syndrome, and I HATE it.  I'm forced to leave all the clubs I join and everything because I can't get along with the people in it.  And no, I'm not a savant or anything, either.  I strongly support research and hope someone will find a cure for autistic spectrum disorders.  No one should have to live with this.

i completely understand. i have the same problem. i think you have to be happy. just because there are people around doesn't mean you can't be lonely. like something is missing and you're not quite sure what sometimes. doctors sometimes help but i think it's all something that can be worked on by ourselves it just may take awhile. i'm sure this isn't really an answer but at least you know you're not alone in this aspect :)

Maybe there are more schizophrenics in big cities than else where. There are too many to keep under control. So they go around wandering the streets talking to their "friends." Sounds like fun. I have lots of "friends" too.
