I agree. I have the typical indications of NF, learning difference, spots, etc..It is infact pretty mild. It is recommended that i get an MRI every 6 months to make sure there isn't anything that looks like it will harm me.The neurologist pointed out a small portion of the center of my brain was a little lighter than normal but other than that i'm like literally perfect.
Hastings has dealt with guys like me. And apparently there are guys out there with NF still flying.
