Hi Sharon,

i read your story on another forum but couldn't comment as the post was closed and tried to send you a private message but it wouldn't allow me to......i'm not a stalker i promise. I was so overwhelmed when i read you story as it is IDENTICAL to mine! I actually thought for a moment that i had written it and forgotten it was so identical.

I too suffer with pain that is in my right eye, memory loss (complete moments where i have spent 8 hours with a client and 24 hours later i've forgotten, and can't remember what they look like! I've too forget where i'm driving to or why and i've missed my own driveway on a number of occasions. I couldn't remember my house number the other day! WTF. I've given up on all maths, just can't seem put together "simple" maths equations any more unless i have piece of paper or a calculator. Its sooooo embarrassing! I was always rather reasonable at maths as well.

I also loose words during talking and when writing things I put the wrong letters in the wrong spot. Even though my head knows how to spell the words (i can hear myself saying them) but by the time is translates to my hands its all back to front.

My current neurologist says that the pineal cyst is nothing and none of my symptoms are connected. He is sending me for a neuro exam (like a dementia test) to find out how much i am comprehending.

I know in my heart that it is all connected to this darn cyst. But with limited doctors willing to stand up and listen to all of these people that have the same sort of symptoms then it makes it hard to get noticed. I am truly frightened that i will be driving one day and have a seizure and kill my family!

I have read many boards about this cyst and its symptoms but you are the first person that has particularly mentioned about the pain in the right eye. Our cysts are of similar size as well (mine is slightly smaller).

I find that my pain is worse during my menstrual cycle and when i ovulate. But I have a constant headache all the time.

I don't know if you are still reading this board but I would love to hear from you and find out where you are and if you had any luck with treatment or if you are still living with your symptoms.

Kind regards
Jodie
