Hi Kacey,
Has your husband seen a neurosurgeon about the cyst he has? If so, what did they recommend? I ask because I had a colloid cyst of the third ventricle (benign cyst) removed Nov 2000. When I presented to my neurosurgeon, I had had tremendous headaches that would leave me in bed praying to sleep because I could not concentrate with the pain. I awoke one morning with the absolute worst headache, and felt nauseous. I went into my bathroom, turned on my light, and could not see from my left eye. (my vision did return later that day)((My neursurgeon said the cyst was pressing on the optic nerve))

Please speak with his neurosurgeon. Anything dealing with the brain that is not a normal anatomical part of the brain, is definetly something to not let go on without medical guidance.

Best wishes to you both, Dodi
