About 10 weeks ago I started experiencing a whole host of seemingly random symptoms.
These include:
• Constant Headache
• Feeling of pressure in head
• Eye pain
• Sensitivity to light
• Ear pain
• Tinnitus
• Stiff neck
• Head feeling 'too heavy' to hold up
• Burning sensation in lips and mouth
• Intermittent heaviness/numbness on one side
• Dizziness
• Fatigue (constant)
• Blurred vision (worse when tired)
• Difficulty finding the right words
• Poor organisational skills
• Sudden hot flushes/ feeling faint
• Palpitations (infrequently)
There are others too, but all neurological/in my head. I had an MRI scan of my head to check it all out and have been told I have an Arachnoid Cyst in my brain. The headache/pains in my head are exactly where this cyst is, and the place it is in my brain would explain why I've got these symptoms. However, the GP has told me that 99% of these cysts never grow, I've probably had it since birth, and there's no further investigation needed.
How am I supposed to go back to work? (I'm on mat leave at the moment) I can barely walk some days. What am I supposed to do? I can't live with this headache forever. What do I do? WWYD?
