Can anybody shed any light on whether there is any connection between having a Pineal Cyst and MS??
Good question!
I’ve got a pineal cyst, and have been told ‘almost certainly not’, but I’m not convinced.
I’d be interested to hear your story. You can PM me if you don’t want to be public!
Bxx
I tried to PM you but it wouldn’t let me…lol another thing that doesn’t work right!!! I was just asking about any connection has i read an article online. I also have a pineal cyst and told that it won’t cause any problems… yeah right!!! i was tested for MS last year but only had a brain scan that was clear apart from the cyst… When did you find out you had one? Leannexx … Sorry can’t start a new line for some reason…
Leanne,
I have PM’d you!
Hmmm
I’m not an expert - cyst and MS are different things but I guess there could be a mistake in interpreting the MRI results as the test isn’t specific for conditions but just shows up something is abnormal. Maybe the white spot on the MRI isn’t a pineal cyst but an inflammatory MS lesion? I don’t know - I don’t have enough knowledge on MRI’s to figure out if that could happen. I guess you would expect a competent radiologist and neurologist not to make that mistake.
Do any of your symptoms fit with pineal cyst or inflammation in that area?
