Hi Kellyo,

I was diagnosed with a Pineal Cyst. Many of my symptoms are the same as yours. I was told by my neurosugeon that the cyst (13mm x 8 mm) was begnine and not the cause of my symptoms. I disagree because I live with the symptoms and they are real. I've had so many other tests that there is no other possible reason. The space in our head is priime real estate and there is no room for anything extra up there!. Even a small cyst takes up space and causes pressure. The pressure mine causes does not show as hydrocephaly on the MRI. But it gives me symtoms. I have constant tinitis, often pulsatile when I do anything that causes exertion. Driving a car brings on episodes of increased diziness, as well a sessions at the computer. I even get diziness walking. Mild enough that I don't fall down, but it's there. What's really depressing is my lack of energy. I get fatigued very easily, and feel best when I can take on tasks at my own speed. This does not work well for my employer!

I'm still in the process of investigating treatment options. I have read blogs where people with cysts had them removed and the sysmptoms dissappeared. I'm hoping there is an easy fix.

I appreciate any insights to cysts in the noggin!
