Endocrinologist didnt know that the Pineal gland is part of the endocrine system!

Neurosurgeon can't be convinced that any of the symptoms are related to the cyst. This contradicts so much of what I have read in peer reviewed medical literature.

Hi there!

While most of the symptoms could be related to the pineal cyst, some of these may or may not be related. I would suggest consulting a neurosurgeon and an endocrinologist for suggestion of an appropriate management plan.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
