I'm Andy I live in Southend on Sea I love living by the sea & I'll be honest like everywhere it has its problems. I suffer from Neurofibromatosis.
Neurofibromatosis is the general name for a number of genetic conditions that cause tumours to grow along your nerves.
Tumours are swellings formed by a growth of cells. In neurofibromatosis, the tumours are usually non-cancerous (benign).
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the most common type, affecting about one in 3,000 births.
What are the symptoms of NF1? NF1 is a condition you're born with, although some symptoms develop gradually over many years. The severity of the condition can vary considerably from person to person.
In most cases of NF1 the skin is affected, causing symptoms such as:
pale, coffee-coloured patches (café au lait spots) soft, non-cancerous bumps on or under the skin (neurofibromas) Certain health problems are often associated with NF1, such as learning difficulties. Less commonly, NF1 is associated with a type of cancer known as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours.
This doesn't make me a freek or anything, it just makes me different. But I'm still the same as each & everyone else.

Very cool description of yourself, Andy. I suffer from fatigue syndrome and I have an early stage of Schizophrenia and I have slightly autism known as ADD.
The symptoms varying from person to person who have Schizophrenia and it's the same with fatigue syndrome. I'm not taking any medicines for my illnesses. Just because my illnesses have become less worse than before.
My fatigue syndrome making me very sleepy and making me extra varying in my temper. My Schizophrenia making me extra worried about things that I suspect hurt someone else. And my autism making me extra caring for my friends and not only my friends in my real life, its including my friends online too.
This three illnesses making me not as a weird freak but instead I see them getting me a much better person than other in general. I am me and without my illnesses I guess I should be just a totally boring woman who is whining about men is soo bad all the time.

I see. I remembered that you mentioned that on Miitomo. Well, autism can be something great too. I know several people who have autism but also have mental handicap and I can say that they are more better friends than people who is normal.
But I use to say this: What define normal? We're all different from each other so you can't say that normal is a normal in a normal definition. What makes people great is their differences between each other actually.

Looking good in your suit, Andy. I saw that you're getting ready for your trip to Norway in August.

Well, I have three more illnesses than those I mentioned. But I don't think it's something that it's suited for Weverse.

Not long until I go to hospital now. Hopefully by this time next week I'll be back on the ward. Been told I'll be in for four to five days. Total recovery time I've been told is four to five weeks. One of my daughter's is worrying about it but my wife is going to try and keep her occupied when I'm in.
