I had a low grade astrocytoma in the bottom right side of my brain. I got it removed 1/26/21. After I woke up from my craniotomy, I had no control over the left side of my body, where the tumor was located was that part of my brain that had my muscles mapped, so them removing it has made me have to start doing physical/occupational therapy. I'm 24years old and walking with a cane and an AFO brace. If I've learned anything from this it's that life sucks, but don't take for granted the simple things you get to do that others can't. Life really is good when you look at it from that perspective. Hell, when I was in inpatient rehab, I was the youngest person on the whole floor. All the other patients were seniors mostly dealing with stroke rehab looking at this kid with 47 staples in his head like I was an alien from another planet.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor about the size of a pea 6 years ago. The doctor didn't refer me to anyone for an evaluation of any sort. I was supposed to get another MRI 6 months later but didn't have the funds so I went without it for 6 years lol, but now I still haven't gotten any detailed results of my second MRI months after it was done. I still haven't been referred to anyone and I'm dealing with symptoms almost daily. My eye doctor can officially see I have a brain tumor through my eyes because my optic nerve is swollen. He's the only dr of mine that is concerned for my well-being and he told me I need to find a neurologist right away but I don't know if I need a referral or anything first

[@noushinfarshad8455]

Shayann, I just read your old comment and hoping a neurosurgeon has already inserted Shunt in your head by now. I was diagnosed the same by my opthalomologist and Shunt was installed immediately to collect water from my brain to drain it in my abdomen before blinding me for good. Are you saying you don't have affordable health insurance? Your tumor must be meningioma, but it needs semi annual MRI test if its growth is fast. I have it because I noticed my walking was not steady and MRI showed the existence of M. Tumor. I am studying about the tumor if it is worth to go for surgery or live with it? Please ask from your family or friends to create a donation account for your crucial surgery. Mine was under $70K. and I only stayed overnight in the ICU. Not Joking!

I was a professional musician who packed and carried extremely heavy sound equipment into and outa my VW Golf. Had no back problems. Then in 2009 fell on treadmill at gym (which stpped dead in its tracks whilst doing 10km/h hurtling my L leg into the sidebar). Had to quit gymming-pain was unbearable. On New Years Eve after a gig 100km from here I experienced COMPLETELY lower paralysis and had to use my hands to operate the pedals. Took me 3 hours to get back home at 50km/h. In 2012 in NL I was visiting my aunt when I woke with a completely paralyzed L leg. Took all the pain meds I had taken with to the local Dutch GP, who imnediately diagnosed MS and referred me to the AMC for a MRI. My travel insurance didn't cover this thus I had it perfomed a a year later-in fact two of them! Dean of Neurolgy at hospital said they'd found "unspecified white matter" on my brain "but the good news was it wasn't MS'. But what it was they couldnt establish. Two years later after I had been suffering excruciating L lower leg pain I went for a SONAR of my leg en was established that my bloodflow from hip tot knee was 1m/s vs 0.5n/sec below knee to foot, as opposed to normal R leg. Asked the radiologist (?) to check my L knee as well. Meniscus completely torn thru. Still suffer from that L leg with "voltage" like quivers which keep me awake. 12yrs down the line no GP could establish wat the cause is. The orthopedian at the same hospital where MRIs were performed says he sees no nerve impingment and differs in diagnosis of Neurologist that I in fact DO suffer from MS! That put, I only have one functioning kidney (R) due to nephritis when I was young. It's completely calcified. In 2018 I ejaculated 100% blood(!) instead of semen. The extremely rude locum at my GP refused to even examine it, as well as my very dark urine-dismissing it as reeking of nitrates. Did very sore rectal exam , called me neurotic obssive (really?) and sent me home with R570 bill. 4 years later still traces of blood in semen as well as now Leukosites. My currant GP told me to go for cystoscopy (which I stalled untill COVID was gone) Constant itch in ears, especially R hand one as well as blocked R nostril. L leg still producing enough electricity to supply Vegas. Finally found out a year ago that I can undergo a MRI using contrast dye since I went into anaphylactic shock in 1987 when they wanted to get to the origin of albumin in urine for my to pass my PPL and i injected Iodine. Turns out they now use Gadolanium. Anyone with similar situation?

[@moo4339]

so, how do I exactly do it?

[@abrannan]

Well, the "being seen within 48 hours" has changed in the five years since this video. After receiving MRI results showing a glioma of some kind (2.5cm x 3.5cm x1.5cm), I called the hotline, and uploaded my MRI reports per the instructions, and was informed that the doctors would review the information and get back to me within 3-7 business days. I had sent an email yesterday asking if I provided enough information, or if more was needed, and have received no answer. My neurologist informed me that even after getting through to the doctors at Hopkins, it would likely be a month or more before they'd be able to see me. So the early parts of this video may need to be updated.

[@mmarie294]

Go to the ER if you haven't already

[@abrannan]

@@mmarie294 A brain tumor that's been growing for at least the last decade without causing any symptoms ain't exactly an ER situation. Anyway, I reached out to the National Cancer Institute for a second opinion, they performed the crainiotomy in December 2021, six weeks of radiation therapy starting in Feb 2022, and then chemotherapy with an outside oncologist that'll finish up in about a month. After that, it's just a matter of monitoring the situation until the tumor begins to grow back, hopefully not for several years.

I was in an car accident and they found brain tumor. I been having problems with my vision blurred, bad headaches, weakness. For a couple of years it seems like I couldn't focus or had short term memory. I kept saying to myself that I am to young to be having Alzheimer's. I went to see an neurosurgeon and she told me that none of the symptoms were from the tumor. So she gave me a choice to either wait 6months then or get the surgery. I said wait 6months. But I went to my primary doctor and she told me No, don't wait before I lose my eye sight completely. Yes, I have lost 65% of my left Peripheral vision. So now I am waiting for the neurosurgeon to schedule my surgery. What do you think is best?

why do i keep mispronouncing words when i speak, is this a sign of a brain tumor?

[@clarewright5178]

No, but this could be due to several things my lovely. Do you currently have any other symptoms too....?? I hope you don't mind me advising you to please book an appointment with your GP asap. Not to worry you, this is purely to have your ob's carried out (observations / check up) . My main concern is to have your blood pressure taken ! Also this will put your mind at rest, and this will reduce any onset, or further anxiety. I am NOT a clinician, however I am a former medical receptionist of several years and this is something that I would advise to any patient !! Let me know how you get on flower 👍😊 xx

[@Dentropolis]

I was saying words weirdly. I went to emergency. They checked me out a gave me an MRI that night and saw a tumour. Since then I had surgery. The tumour was putting pressure on my speech area. Get it checked out ASAP.

I had a tumor removed and since the surgery I've had hypersomnia. Most days it's not really that bad for me, though. I usually just take 2-3 days out of my week to just lay in bed all day. My neurologist says it's normal to have after surgery

Mario Sejdiu: I hope you were able to find out what was wrong. I am going next week for an MRI and an MRA. I have had many right ear infections, right ear pain, right ear ringing, migraines, scalp so tender I cannot even touch my hair it hurts, and I have a lot of issues with balance. Can't wait to get this done and get the results. Decided not to panic because that will only raise my blood pressure and cause more stress and that will not help. Staying positive the best I can!

[@alejandrososa7356]

This way, first of all, to write that I am 19 years old, and I am very panicky by nature, it is probably in my genes because my mother is like that, but I think it is smart that when I see any health problem I should go to the doctor Namely, while I was in elementary school, somewhere in the middle or at the end of the 7th grade, I can't remember exactly when, but something like that, I was sitting on a bench and listening to classes and I mechanically looked out the window and looked at the sky, at that moment I saw some changes in the form of something like some hairs, ie in the professional name when I googled I found that they are floaters, there are some more spots when I look at the white surface, ie when I stare or when I look at the sky, snow and so on, although I I'm used to it and I don't attach importance to it and they get lost, ie I don't register them and if they are still present, also when I look at the sky I see it like when the picture on the TV breaks and is gray and those music only of course without that gray color, it didn't get worse and if 4 years have passed since then everything has remained the same the vision hasn't gotten worse but the floaters are still there, I would also mention that as a kid I should have worn glasses because one eye was walking, I was wearing something short and then I left them and so I think maybe that's why I have those floaters Now I'm going back to primary school when I was in the 8th grade, I started having headaches, tingling all over my body, my balance wasn't quite right, my hands were cold, there were constant pains then, I went to the doctor and they gave me instructions to work. The EEG of the head result was great, there were no changes, but I still had some panic in me because all these symptoms indicated a tumor and I was very scared, there were neck pains and so on. It's been about 4-5 years and I've felt great during all that time, maybe sometimes my hands are cold or my palms are sweating, apart from that I have no other health problems, the only thing is that I've had a little cold in the last few days and when in the evening I go out on the terrace to light a cigar and when I look at the sky without holding on to something like a little flirting but not too much, or when I walk in the house in the dark like I'm losing my balance but nothing terrible, it happens when It's really dark and when the light goes out, my balance is great, now the only thing that happens to me is that sometimes my head hurts, and sometimes I have tingling in my body but not very often, or the area around my neck hurts, then I drink that speedifen and my pain passes after 15 minutes but it is not a terrible pain and it rarely happens that my head hurts only now but I think it is because I have a cold. I felt the need to write this because it suddenly occurred to me I don’t even know why, given that it’s been a long time like I’ve already said about 5 years ago, but I just felt the need to share it with you. I have to mention once again that I feel good, I go out with friends, I go to work, I finished school, I also deal with computers, otherwise I don't spend a lot of time on the phone, maybe I go in to see something on Instagram, from time to time. I look at a series and that's it. By the way, I don't have a headache as often as before, maybe sometimes, but rarely only now in the last few days because I have a cold, my nose is leaking, and from time to time these tingles in my body, I confess but not something excessive. Another very important thing to mention happens to me while drinking coffee my hands are shaking, or my head is shaking, but I am a terribly big panicker. And yes, just to mention, I apologize to everyone if I repeated some sentences and wrote more times because I was a little hasty when I was writing, so don’t mind I'm very scared, do you think I have a tumor

[@kobe8434]

I think we all sometimes panic about some health issues, but i think most of the time it’s just the panicking part that’s the problem…
