Not a PS. SO WE WILL SEE, also my gyno is going to run alot more tests and noticed that my collar bone is inflamed on both sides of my neck, he said that was very curious, I gave him the list of chemicals in implants and he couldn't believe that they put that stuff in humans, I also gave him Dr. Kolbs protocol. He told me he had a friend in Florida who was a PS and had sued Dow and won 3 million dollars for causing him to lose his reputation and credibility and hence his practice after all this stuff came out about implants. Amazing they can pay 3 mill to Dr, but we are sick and wait and wait.Terri PHawaii-- In , KissofSadness@... wrote:>> Having formerly worked for a large insurance company, this is something I've > heard of a lot...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 My son, Trayvon, has a subarachnoid cyst that was also found as an incidental finding when looking for craniostenosis. I was told that about 30% of the normal population has these cysts and have no issues with them. However a small proportion experiences some growth of these cysts which begin to cause issues. I do know that none of my other children have this cyst (and they've all had head MRI's for one reason or another) and he's the only one with migraines. As a matter of fact, he had his first migraine just 2 weeks after learning of this diagnosis. We haven't had a repeat MRI because they said that an occasional migraine is not indicative of increased intercranial pressure due to the lesion. The level of concern would only rise IF he had persistent headache, headaches upon awakening in the morning, unprovoked vomiting or other signs of neuro issues. Just thought I'd share our personal experience with cysts. I'll pray that this is nothing more that an " incidental finding with no signifigance. " Mommy to Annette, specific antibody deficiency and Subclass IGG 2 adn 4 deficient. IVIG x 4 years, Sub Q IG x 2.5 months and LOVES it. pervious T and B cell abnormalities and antibody deficiency. IVIG x 18 months. He had a complete recovery of function at the 6 months post IVIG trial. In the process of retesting all of his immunizations for the 3rd time to see if he held them this time. Currently getting IVIG for autoimmune related epilepsy. Mommy to 3 other beautiful and complicated children as well.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Thanks for the info. It makes me wonder about because he had headaches for years before we ever found his lesion..and he still has them. Only once did he have headaches with vomiting (non-IVIG related), though. Peace be with you, Pattie The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God won't be with you.
