This is the story of my life--I have had this arachnoid cyst for years with strange neuro symptoms, but none were connected to my arachnoid. I am now 49 yrs old and have been diagnosed with a whole slew of neuro diagnosis, but the neuro surgeon DOES NOT connect any symptom to my cyst--and my research has also told me differently??? I am frustrated, as I am sure you are. I am trying find someone who specializes in this somewhere for a 2nd opinion. I not only have tremors--which are getting worse, but I also have facial palsy since 1980, dystonia, epilepsy and many other ailments. I just can't buy the fact that I have a gulf ball cyst on my brainstem, and a whole lot of problems---but no connection. I feel for you and your brother--if you find any info please keep me informed, and I will do the same. take good care, and many thanks---hutch
