This is the part that I do not understand. While I am not familiar with whether or not your cyst can be surgically removed, but if it can, why not do it? It seems that one who is suffering from emotional/mental issues caused by an AC has to suffer through the anxiety until their lives are ruined by the cyst and only when one foot is in the grave and the other on a banana peel will doctors decide to operate. I believe this to be torture. I guess it's just easier to chalk it all up to one being a schizophrenic than to address the cause for the schizophrenia. I wish you luck Dave and I hope they can get you fixed up. I have simply had to learn how to be a productive hermit.
