Cyst/Tumor
Same theory, different topic.
A cyst is typically benign and fluid filled, while a tumor is typically malignant and solid. That's the only difference.
Not to take away from the severity of a malignant tumor, but rather stating that this is the major difference between a cyst and tumor.
That being said, according to a medical website, the image I posted with this states different signs and symptoms of a pineal tumor. Interesting that I basically have EVERY symptom they list (and then some) for a tumor, yet every Dr I've ever seen has emphatically told me that there is no way this cyst and my symptoms are related.
Really...!?
So basically, in the medical mind.... a space occupying lesion that is malignant can only cause these symptoms. But the same space occupying lesion that is benign can in no way cause these symptoms. So the only possible conclusion..? Apparently only cancer can cause symptoms....
I call bullshit.
Again, not discounting the severity of cancer, but I don't believe that ONLY cancerous lesions will cause symptoms.
End rant.
Try skull base institute in los Angeles Ca. If you still have had no luck. That is what my daughter is doing.
ReplyDeleteThx. Tried there twice. Apparently.... 30% growth in less than a year is nothing, my symptoms are only mild, and I'm just not a candidate in his eyes. Waste of $1000. He was rude to me, spent less than 5 minutes with me, and dismissed me... so, thank you for the suggestion, but I will NEVER go to him again.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your current stauts with the cyst? Have you found anything that helps with the headaches or hairloss?
ReplyDeleteSleeping on an incline helps with morning head pain. And pura d'or shampoo and conditioner help greatly with hair loss,but it's costly... worth it in my opinion tho.
DeleteI gave up on Dr's, meds, etc. I still get bad vertigo from time to time and other symptoms pop up sporadically too. I've more or less resigned myself to just living with it all.
