For the past few months, I've been having worsening symptoms: headaches (thought to be migranes), blurred vision, tremors, trouble pronouncing words (it's like they get stuck in the middle of my mouth... sometimes it feels like my tounge gets numb and forgets how to work in the middle of a word), mild to moderate loss of balance, severe fatigue and SEVERE nausea. I had my gallbladder taken out 3 weeks ago, so I thought the headaches, fatigue and nausea were products of either the surgery or the medication (I ended up becoming psyiologically dependant on the pain medicine after a week, and went through withdrawls after I stopped them cold turkey). Ok... that's the near past. I've had milder symptoms of some of these for years, but attributed them to something else (tremors to drinking to much coffee, blurred vision to needing a new glasses prescription {I'm severly myopic}, headaches to stress... etc).
Day before yesterday, I had an MRI which showed a pineal cyst. I've heard varying opinions on whether or not this could cause all of these symptoms. I don't know if it causes all of these symptoms, but a cyst blocking a cerebral spinal ventricle causing pressure to build up (ie, hydrocephaly) could cause all of these. Has anyone else heard of anyone having this type of problem, and if so, how was it corrected/treated/cured?
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
