Does anyone know anything about a pineal cyst or it's symptoms? I was told that I have one and have probably had it since birth!!!!! My doc seems to think that it wouldn't grow but I have a very hard time trusting doctors! (Sometimes I think I know better than the docs)anyway, I was suppose to get another MRI within 3-6 months from the last one ...back in November of 2000. I totally forgot about doing that! I am paniking thinking that I am in the "danger zone" and I don't know what symptoms are of this. I don't really have headaches and if I do, they go away with IB profin. I am pretty nervous about this...Can someone give me some ease?

I'm a 30 year old male who has had multiple symptoms for years (not knowing what was wrong), but just recently had an MRI that showed a pineal cyst.

The symptoms are effecting almost everything I do...day to day activities, studies, recreation, work, etc.

I checked the Pineal Cyst resource site and will call the number. Thanks.

That's funny....my doc said that it was very unlikely that I would have any symptoms. I did have another MRI and it hasn't changed positions or in size. Hmmm...not sure what to do... they sais to repeat in a year or two..can't remember, guess I need to call and check that out.
