Hello. Im 32 years old and have been experiencing symptoms since 2007 when my arachnoid cyst was discovered. Mine is 3cm by 2cm by 2 cm and is in the dorsal aspect of the tentorium in the left cerebral area. I have constant nausea extreme fatigue trouble understanding and comprehending simple things which is not like me trouble with vision at times pain in my spine lung and torso area but that may be because Ive had pleurisy 4 times. It hurts when i breathe it hurts to turn my head right or left . i think those symptoms may be from the inflammation from pleurisy but not sure. I have no motivation depression like symptoms memory issues sometimes feels spaced out or lost in the middle of a conversation or while doing tasks around the house or shopping etc. I dont feel like myself at all. My personality feels flat. I have no desire to do anything and usually im outgoing sociable and love to have fun. Lately between the pain nausea and confusion etc and not feeling like myself i dont feel like doing anything but sleeping. My Neurologist says my cyst isnt causing any of my symptoms but I find that hard to believe. I feel like im slowly physically and mentally crumbling and at a young age dont see what else could be causing my symptoms. Any thoughts? I also have tachycardia which was recently discovered and asthma. I have loud painful crepitus in my joints near my spine and rib cage so every breathe i take or anytime i move my arms or turn my head etc youll hear loud joint popping and cracking noises that are loud enough to hear just from sitting next to me. The doctors dont know what the crepitus is from or why its painful. I'm now being sent to a rheumatologist but im afraid some of my symptoms are from my cyst. Read so many articles where people have similar symptoms as I and all the doctors say the cyst isnt causing tbe symptoms. Its so frustrating and Ive been living like this for 7 years and its just getting worse and worse.
