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

Thanks for your comments Diandra, it means a lot. I did have a very nasty fall nearly 18 months ago and split my head open above the right eye and that is the proximity of this cyst. If the pain expands from this point on quickly then the fall could be the trigger, if not then it has been a slow build up since birth. It does explain why siblings think I have a "big head" Being tested for Post Polio did have some positives. During some testing the Drs discovered that I had Haemachromatosis (too much retained iron).That was easily brought under control and had it not been diagnosed then the outcomes now may have been more serious.
I live for the 'now' and the past has placed me in the 'now', what happens tomorrow is the challenge I wake up to every day.
