    I have an arachnoid cyst at the back of my head. It got diagnosed two years ago, but doctor said it was unproblenatic. I had major health problems since then. Head pressure exactly at the same location, nausea, backpain etc. Going to have a second MRT soon and discuss potential treatment.

      Wow this hits home….I have one and have never had issues. 20 years later I am now having pressure, weakness, fatigue, dizziness and nasua all day. I think it’s from the cyst.

      @@brandondeener Hey folks, I was examined by two neurologists with two years in between and they could not recognize any visible pahological "pressure" of the cyst on sourrounding tissue. I am accepting it for the moment and I would also recommend people with similar complaints to not focus to heavily on the searching for a single, clear cause. Medicine does not understand a lot of conditions and especially when different factos come into play simultaneously. In the end we often dont know how close mental and physical health are connected with each other and for me personally it is helpful to not focus to much on any kind of pontential concrete condition.

    I was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst when I was 17 had hit my head trying to do a back flip n 3 month later on Boxing Day I was taken to hospital after falling sick and not being able to speak properly, I know what I was trying to say but my words were coming out backwards
    My arachnoid cyst takes up a quarter off my brain, had my first surgery to drain the flue if that was causing major pressure in my brain which went well and got released on New Years even without the surgeons checking my final brain scan
    End of January a get pulled back in and had a bleed to the back of my brain and also more fluid leaking to the back aswell
    Had to get another 2 holes to drain the remaining blood and fluid
    2 years later I’ve fully recovered and trying to get on in life so lucky to be alive

He has been sick for a long time he is 25 years old. The doctor said its been growing since 2012. Does anyone have any advice on treatment option? We are waiting to speak to doctor about where we go from here.

    I am hoping someone sees this and can relate. I have been dealing with chronic nausea for three straight years now. My primary care doctor has sent me to GI where they ran numerous test and found nothing. I was referred to a teaching hospital, where they decided quickly it wasn’t a GI issue and ordered a MRI. The MRI came back as positive for a arachnoid cyst in the “posterior cranial fossa, displacing the left cerebral hemisphere.” I have not talked to a neurosurgeon yet, they are impossible to get a hold of. I also don’t have any measurements. Do you guys think this is the culprit of the sudden on set of nausea for three years? Would surgery help and get rid of this? What is your experience with all of this? What symptoms did you have?

      I have arachnoid cyst in between the cerebellar hemispheres. I had it for two years, at first I had really bad head aches but I ignored it. Now after 3 years I have a lot of nasuea, light head, feeling dizzy all the time, my vision worsened and I have constant ringing in my ears. My mental health declined too, im 25 and yet im feel like a grandma. So I think nasuea can be conected to that, im at point considering surgery.

      Hi - what was the outcome of your MRI.... I have a cyst as well and it’s kind of big and I’m waiting to talk to the Neurosergon next week -- I’ve had 2 MRI’s that show the cyst hasn’t grown in over 12 months but it’s still big and I’ve been having some symptoms too.... like dizziness, sore head, numbness on my face, etc :/. I hope you are ok.

      @@alannasparks so you’ve experienced symptoms I mentioned? Only asking cause my Neurosergon said those symptoms are not caused by my cyst :/ but I’ll see what he says on my next appointment since my symptoms are constant now. And yes it is scary and I think it’s so easy for doctors to just say “oh it’s all in your head or it’s due to anxiety” -- I’m glad you are doing well.

      And you're an idiot! They can grow so large and can increase pressure so much it literally squishes the brain, essentially like a tumour. They are real and the symptoms can be crippling, I have one myself and I have extensive medical training for someone whose never formally worked in the healthcare industry.
