Hi everyone, my name is Deb. I'm scared, because I just found out my cyst has regrown. It's in the same place as before. It was excised 4 years ago. When I first found out I had it in 2006, it was quarter size. Then it grew. Why? No one can answer that. My neurological exams were always intact. My neurologist use to tell me go home and not think about it. How can someone not think about it when they had an ovarian cyst removed the year before and now a cyst in there head. For 2 years I suffered watching this thing grow inside me till it became 7cm by 5cm. It deviated my brain and I had it excised in 2008. I had a ct scan 1 year later, due to an er visit because of an excrutiating headache. The ct. scan was neg. 1year later I had another headache ended up in the er had a ct scan and it was neg. I had a whopper of a head ache 4 months ago and never ran to the er to have a ct scan. I was trying to believe in myself that it was related to taking 1 vicodin secondary to the pain of a root canal I needed.
I was feeling off the other day. I felt zapping senstions all over my body. I won't deny I'm under stress. Everyone is under stress. I won't deny I sufferred from depression quite sometime prior to finding out about my cystectomy in 2008. My new Ct. scan from feeling the zapping sensations showed I have my cyst back in the same location and it is 6cm by 4cm.
Now I have to make a decision to whether or not I get a shunt or another excision, or do nothing. From 2010, I had a neg ct. scan. Now 2 years later I have a cyst that is 6 by 4. My head hurts right at the prior incision line. My skull feels like it has cracked a tiny bit. I know something needs to be done asap. What can I do? [email protected]
