NF is more than just "lumps". This is a disorder of the nervous system and can affect every single nerve in the body. NF can cause deafness, blindess, bone and skin deformities as well as cancer leading to death.
Cafe' au lait marks (birthmarks) are typically the first sign of NF, progressing to Neurofibromas (tumors), learning difficulties, (sometimes) scoliosis, and other bone deformities.
Not uncommon, NF occurs in 1 out of ever 3000 births...making it the MOST common genetic disorder out there. (whether u believe that or not, its true)
The neurofibromas can be quite debilitating. Causing the body to twist and deform itself around the deeply embedded nerves as well as the external tumors that can cause severe cosmetic issues.

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of tumors on nerves, and while Earnhardt had various health concerns throughout his career, there has been no indication that he suffered from this specific condition. His death in a racing accident in 2001 was attributed to head injuries rather than any underlying medical condition like neurofibromatosis.
