Brigite,
I am 32 and also found a pineal cyst/tumor when I had an MRI checking the pituitary. I enjoy these posts to learn what others are going through too. I'm trying to relate all my physical problems to this, as is everyone else. Read my post to Val up above towards the top dated today as well. Read the thing from Mayo's that I mention. I have done so much research on this that the local Doctors hate me because I keep pushing the matter and they pat me on the knee almost to say 'go home little girl, I told you that there is nothing wrong'.I admit to reading somewhere that these cysts are common and usually untreated unless they grow to 2cm or so, or cause visual problems, perhaps what you're experiencing. Although this abstract from Mayo's says they are uncommon.
Anyway, feel free to e-mail me and tell me your story. Ask away!
