What is it like living with NF2? Gabe says…

Living with NF2 will challenge you physically, mentally and emotionally. Being diagnosed with NF2 is definitely a life-changing event, that I would not wish on anybody.  However, I have met some wonderful people,  life long friends and picked up American Sign Language because of it. Since being diagnosed with NF2, I have earned a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling, and I am one semester short of attaining my doctorate degree. I try to exercise regularly and eat healthy. But sometimes a cold Coke from 7-Eleven, taste so good. I am a firm believer that attitude is everything and having a great support system at home is crucial to succeed in life.
