I have a 3 cm meningioma right frontal lobe. No neurological effects yet but lots of anxiety, panic symptoms, insomnia, and mood problems. I always thought I have psychiatric problems reading a paper for my undergrad research paper I discovered meningiomas can cause psychiatric problems.
Hope to meet others who had other diagnosis before the MRI and would love to chat my Yahoo messenger is jo2pat

Hi,

I, too have symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, depression, muscle weakness now. It measured 0.8 a few years ago. I also have MS and several small foci of increased T2 signal on my recent MRI with contrast. I don't know if my symptoms are from MS or the Meningioma. I've had numbness on my left side since 2000, when I was first diagnosed with both. The meningioma was discovered before the MS was confirmed. I wonder which is causing my symptoms. I'd like to learn more.

Welcome to NT, jo2pat I'm sure you will find the information and compassion you need here... I've found it to be my second home.

I did a site search for meningioma, and came up with nothing. I am sorry I can't be of much help. I am hoping MSMeningioma will return to read this thread and help you find the right forum for your condition. Doh! I can PM her and ask her to do just that.

Nice to meet you, jo2pat... we'll get this figured out!

Hi Jo. I don't blame you for being anxious and frightened. I hope you can find the support here that you are looking for, because it is a great bunch of people at NeuroTalk.

I was reading at the Mayo Clinic web site about your condition and first thing I noticed was at least positive.

Meningioma is a tumor that arises from the meninges — the membranes that surround your brain and spinal cord. The majority of meningioma cases are noncancerous (benign), though rarely a meningioma can be cancerous (malignant).

This I found at the Mayo Clinic web site. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/meningioma/DS00901

I also found this meningioma web site that links to what look like are other resources. http://meningioma.webexone.com/default.asp?link= All you have to do there is sign is as a guest.

Best of luck and again, welcome to NeuroTalk.
