Hi Kellyo,
I came across your story and wanted, like most people here, to follow up and see how things are? Did you ever get any treatment? What has your neurologist recommended?
I am currently 25 but when I was 23 I was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst in my upper neck. I had similar symtpoms as tingling in my arm and leg on the left side. Saw a neurosurgeon but felt that he just automatically wanted to cut me open even though it wasn't effecting my activities of daily living.
Any input from you would be helpful! I've been told these are rare so it's helpful to see we're not the only ones out there with these types of cysts! Thanks!

Hi there, I have not had follow up in a couple of years on mine. I got a couple of opinions from neurosurgeons and no one seemed to think it was a big deal. <br />
<br />
My symptoms seem to have declined and now I struggle with very low blood pressure. I have no idea why and the dr doesn\'t either. But no one has mentioned the cyst since. <br />
<br />
I gave up trying to convince ppl that my cyst was giving me symptoms when every neurologist I saw told me these kinds of cysts don\'t cause symptoms. No one ever offered surgery to me. <br />
