Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

ageiswinning: Sorry, I just saw your question after 2 days. The MRI did not indicate it was near the optic nerve. I was told that after consulting with the neurosurgeon to discuss the fact that I had an almost 3 centimeter meningioma. I had vision issues which my optometrist called "ghosting." It was like the letters were stacked on top of each other. I also had sinus issues. And, for a few years prior to being diagnosed, I would point out to my husband that one of my eyes drooped, was not symmetrical with the other. Of course, after being told the location of my main meningioma (meaning the largest of the 3) the eye drooping made sense. I hope you are able to get into seeing a neuro doctor soon to find out more information.

Saw neuro and I am pending for an MRI with contrast- Although I have terrible blurred vision with intermittent true double vision - he said the tumor shouldn't be the cause. I am glad to be told I don't need surgery, but it seems really odd to me that I am so symptomatic without a cause- sure am bummed to feel like the vision issues don't have a source or solution 🙁
