name the disease process....

I saw a woman at the clinic (aka pleasantville) last week, covered in these mole-type things. seriously, everywhere!! Even her butt crack!!

10pts if you name the disease. I had no idea, if that helps.

What I did know...is how thankful I am for my health! There are so many horrible things that can go wrong, and it is amazing that it doesn't go wrong more often. I complain about a zit or hairy eyebrows...guess it just puts it all in perspective!

Dangit Jen! You're a fraud! :) No, she can't get rid of it. It is tumors that develop on her nerves. So they go whereever her nerves are (aka...everywhere). It can be on the skin or under the skin. They aren't painful,she says unless they grow on her spine. So sad!
