There is some relief in knowing that something else apart from Post Polio may be causing my problems.
I think it highlights the necessity early in life to have MRI scans. My neurologists said that if MRI machines were around in the early 50's how different the approach would have been in assessing correctly Post Polio against other diseases . He said that many people have 'suffered' because of misdiagnosed symptoms.
One bright spark friend suggested that I have enough room to install a circuit board inside my skull!!

Yikes Gregg...kinda makes you wonder how long the cyst has been at that size.
You have half of it licked by having a sense of humor about it. I pray that the removal of the cyst alleviates ALL of your symptoms. Glad you joined in here. Please do keep us all updated on your progress.
I had a friend who was just about your age when she was found to also have a large benign cyst. She had been experiencing brutal migraines for 30 yrs. She had an MRI about 5 yrs in but nothing was seen so it was, just live with it. It was not until she passed out one day and had a massive seizure that they found it. She was a new person after the surgery, no more migraines. I wish you the same great success. Take care, Diandra
