MTV show life with Neurofibromatosis

http://www.mtv.com/videos/true-life-i-have-nf/1635785/playlist.jhtml

MTV did a good job of showing what life is like with NF. My son's NF is like the 16 year old while mine is similar to the 19 year old.

I'd be interested in hearing what my fellow DUers think of how MTV handled NF.

and featuring young people with REAL problems and conflicts as opposed to inventing them? I certainly approve of that!

I really don't know. My son did not make the cut even though he was interviewed on paper.

I do agree that featuring real young people with REAL problems is better than fiction. For more information neurofibromatosis you can visit Children's Tumor Foundation.

Thank you for your response.
