Hi,
Your last MRI was done in late 2007 and showed a 10-12 cm cyst is that right?
If this is correct, your cyst seemed to have progressed rapidly from a
1.2 x.07 cm cyst to one measuring 10x12 cm in 4 years time.Is this correct?
The size of the cyst itself warrants surgical intervention.A large pineal cyst as I have previously posted may compress surrounding structures, blocking cerebrospinal fluid flow and increasing intracranial pressure. Visual symptoms may be experienced, as well as vomiting and headaches due to the cyst's mass effect. The frequency of your seizures and "black out "spells also need close supervision and follow up.
Please seek immediate referral to a neurosurgeon and do keep your scan reports with you for reference.
You have mentioned that you are from a small town, you may ask your primary physician to refer you to larger centers for a complete work-up.
Be proactive about this and for any doubts ,keep us posted.

You mentioned that you live in a small town, so I don't know what the chances of finding an acupuncturist near you would be, but if you could vist an acupuncturist just 2-3 times and recieve thorough teratments and the acupuncturist gets a full understanding of what your entire condition is like, he/ she can prescribe your herbs that you can take, which are much cheaper, but sooooo helpful and effective for your condition. Herbs work from the inside and they strengthen what needs to be strengthened and remove what needs to be removed. I wish I had a way to explain this medicine to you, but I truly hope that you would keep your mind open and try acupuncture and herbs. It really changes peoples' lives all the time. It's been practiced for over 2000- 3000 years. There's a reason why. try it. it cured many of my conditions.
My mother had uterine cysts that were the size of a softball and it shrunk to half of its size within 1 month of treatment. Luckily, it was a benign cyst so there was no rush, but she decided to just go with surgery because she wanted it completely out of her.
I do NOT want to give you false hopes. everyone is different. Some poeple get quick results while others have to be more patient. But if you prefer a less invasive and a natural approach, try acupuncture. It's healing in so many levels.

These pranayam exercises will help control the headache and the side effects.Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume later.The benefits will be noticed in weeks.Over the long tern the headache will be in full control and the medicine can be reduced in consultation with the doctor.You will feel better as you can do something about it yourself.Please post your progress so others can benefit as well.Nothing has helped, but pranayam will help.
