Diagnosed with pineal gland cyst was started.
I have been suffering with severe headaches for the past 8 years. My Dr.'s have ordered every test imaginable with no relief or diagnosis.
I do not sleep well (if at all), i have tension in my neck and shoulders all the time(from constant headaches)fuzzy, blurry vision, my eyes and ears are in constant pain, i am always lightheaded and dizzy.
I had an MRI 3 weeks ago and was told i have a 6mm cyst on my pineal gland. My Dr seems to think that this has nothing to do with my headaches, however, they can not identify why i am having these headaches.
Any suggestions?

I'm 26 now and I've had all the same symptoms most of my life - chronic headaches, constant tiredness, excessive sleeping anywhere from 12-18 hours straight. And recently my vision is getting worse in my left eye, which is also the same side I get my extremely bad headaches on. My doctor thought they were cluster headaches. Everything always seems too bright and if I don't wear sunglasses or lower the shades it hurts my eyes.
I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. I also have a depression/mood disorder. I've had blood work, MRI's, CAT scans and a spinal tap and they never find anything, but I keep reading about all these people with the exact same symptoms who have Pineal Gland Cysts.
I also recently found out that I had sinusitis, and that an MRI I had years earlier revealed cysts and in my maxillary sinus (also on the left side) which my doctor never even told me about because it supposedly wasn't anything to worry over.
Are pineal gland cysts considered in the same non-critical way? Or are they hard to locate? and do you have to get a specific kind of scan? Because I find it very strange that I keep getting worse and instead of finding a cause they just keep finding more new symtoms.
But even a hypochondriac doesn't have as many, 'different' disorders and I do, which is why it seems like somehow these symptoms are connected in someway.
I have had extremely bad headaches for the past year and a half. Sometimes they will go away for a week or so, but pretty much they are constant. It gets so bad that I get dizzy even when I am sitting down. Also my vision gets blurry at times. And no matter how much sleep I get I am always constantly tired. I could sleep 8 hours and be exhausted the next day or sleep 10 hours and still be exhausted. I had blood work done and they came up with my Sed Rate level being 31 which isn't too much higher since normal is 20 or below. I also just got a catscan and they say there is a 2 low density ill-defined lesion in the region of the pineal gland. They said it most likely represents a pineal cyst. Is this something I should be really worrying about? And if so what are the procedures that need to be done?
Having the consult with the neurologist is important. These could represent a form of migraine headache or could be due to the cyst. Without seeing your wife and reviewing the scan I can not determine which is likely. The neurologist should be able to help figure this out. Good luck.
