My Story - Adulthood

I was in my late 20's utilizing Cook County Hospitals socialized medicine (Fantis clinic) which used an MRI to scan my head. (couldn't look any further lower because of the metal rod in my back due to scoliosis) That MRI revealed 2 spots on my brain.
A MRI check up a year later showed no growth.
  While I was in Chicago, and utilizing the services of Cook County Hospital I had the tumor on my bicep removed.

After that I was using regular insurance and couldn't afford the deductible so I have not been back for any further check ups. I am now 45 and the wife called Pharmacist Ben's talk show (he is naturapath - healthy food/vitamins for healing) and he believes my problems with hand cramps/pain may be related to the NF.

I would like to make an appointment with a neurologist, but I really don't have the money for the deductibles and co-pays. I am hopeful that by blogging my story I will be able to earn the cash to cover these expenses.  As the blog progresses, I will be posting pictures of some of the spots.
