Arachnoid Cyst

Hi, I am really well. The symptoms are almost gone. The specific problem of working memory disruption is completely under control with the anti-convulsant medication, which I take twice a day. It is odd to describe yourself as having to take "anti-convulsants", but the alternative of having these silent epileptic seizures is much worse. The cyst is gone, and apparently there is no reason to worry that it may return, according to the doctor. Occasionally, I get severe headaches that do not respond well to regular painkillers, and at those times, I begin to worry a bit, but they go away again. Functionally, which is the important thing, I am absolutely fine.
How are you?

Where did they do surgery? In ont?
The most difficult problem we are having is finding a neuroligist that will listen and that has experience with arachnoid cyst. I have two cyst on large on the right one smaller on the left. It the worry of what the brain may do after surgery will it shift won't it shift is the pressure different in the cyst then the cf fluid so many unknowns. Glad u are doing well gives hope that once this is gone memory may come back. I currently am on anti seizures meds they feel I am have non epileptic siezures or narcelipsey
Thank you for replies appreciate any info you can share such a scary spot to be in
