@badgieboo66, if you would like to consider a second opinion at Mayo Clinic, here is how to get started: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Have you been able to be referred to a neurologist in the meantime? How are you doing?

Hello Colleen, I have now been referred to a neurosurgeon and the wait time is 16 weeks, that’s for urgent cases. Still have eye pain and headache. The first neurologist he referred me to looked at the scan and I enclosed his take on it.
Regards Michelle 😊

Thank you for your letter referring this lady because of a meningioma. A meningioma is not dealt with by the Neurology Services and it is very unlikely that the small meningioma that she has which is largely calcified suggesting it is very old is causing her headaches. Headaches are not generally due to lesions like this and her headaches can be managed by the GP according to the Manchester Headache Pathway.

Given that she has no other significant cause for her headaches on imaging and there is no further information about the nature of the headaches I don't think we need to trouble her with a neurology clinic appointment. If you wish for advice about the meningioma I suggest you refer to neurosurgery as they deal with meningiomas.
