Question

I've been dealing with a neurofibroma NF1 for the past 7 years and it's been quite tough. I've consulted several doctors and they all keep saying that surgery is the only option. I'm really considering going through with facial surgery now, but I'm anxious about it. Are there really no other treatments or recent developments that might help before I decide to go under the knife?

Question

Ive been having these pretty severe cramps under my chin, especially when I laugh. It's pretty painful and usually lasts around 2 minutes, but it seems to take about 15 minutes to calm down. Is this something serious? Should I be worried or do you think it will go away on its own?

Question

I'm looking for an alternative to Neurobion Forte injections in tablet form. Do you think the tablets would be just as effective? Also, with a B12 level of 184, what would you recommend I take?
