my sister thinks she has a brain tumor
well my sister called sobbing today saying she was really scared. she used to work for a neurologist as his assistant.....
so she emailed him asking if he might give her some advice on some symptoms she'd been having....
she has a weird cyst near one of her temples and for awhile the eye on that side has done a weird twitching thing every now and then, and that eyelid noticeably droops. she also has been having horrid migraine headaches, vision problems (which is odd because she has 20/15 vision), ear ringing and hearing probs, dizzyness, nausea, general tiredness and groginess....
so she emailed that neurologist and he said definitely get this checked out right away. he couldn't give her an unofficial exam or anything.....but she doesn't have medical insurance and all those tests can be pretty expensive. i told her to go get checked out just to ease her mind....but she says if they do find something, then any medical insurance won't fund it if she later decides she needs insurance because it will be a "pre-existing condition".
i had a friend in high school who had a cholesterol cyst near one of her temples and she had very similar symptoms. it was a simple operation procedure, but would have been costly had she not been on military benefits. so just wondering if any of you have experienced anything with tumors or cysts on or around the head.....or known anyone who's gone through stuff like this. thanks! i know it will ease her mind if i can give some advice from people who've had this kind of thing.....
