Default My symptoms

Hi Michelle

My symptoms were mainly constant chronic headaches, dizziness and balance problems. First it was thought it was just middle ear problems and went through all the tests with an ENT specialist, but I was finally sent to a Neurosurgeon who sent me for an MRI that showed up the cyst. Mine had grown to a size where it was putting pressure on the brain and causing the symptoms. Some cause symptoms and some don't, depending on the size and location of the cyst. My Neuro took my symptoms seriously, I guess some doctors don't, unfortunately. I think his Doctor needs to investigate further. A Cyst is usually benign, but they can still cause problems if they grow too big.
