Porencephalic cyst

[Hopeful-Mama]

I finally found a doctor who listened and took the time with me as to my issues with depression, anxiety and panic disorder causing so many issues including the memory. I got my MRI results and it shows a porencephalic cyst on the right anterior lobe of my brain that's putting pressure messing with my nervous system, memory, emotions, thought process and even my vision. It's like a constant migraine every day on top of already being diagnosed with major depressive disorder, anxiety and panic disorder and partial bipolar it's now taking all I have to push through each day. My memory is lapsing so bad I had to ask another who one little girl was at a family event this past weekend...it was my niece...wow did I feel like a complete idiot 😭

I have a psychotherapist apt in June and seeing the neurologist in July which seems so far away in pushing through each day as it's so hard to do anything like this. Even the little tasks have become like big chores and I simply feel helpless more than not. I don't know what causes these cysts or what can be done until my apt in July with neuro so I'm basically a royal mess until then. Anyone who might have this problem...my heart poors out to you as it seems to get worse as each day passes leaving me to feel as if I'd do almost anything to make it all stop. 46 years old and I feel like a shot unit with no where to turn in getting through til things are figured out. 🤯😭🙏

It's wonderful you've found a doctor willing to listen to you. You are one of the fortunate ones. I've found it impossible to do myself. Doctors need to listen to patients more and work with US. We are the ones that have to live with it and how disabling it can be. I sincerely hope this is the start of a better life for you. Please keep us updated!

Awe i do pray your able to find one who takes their time, its no joke what so ever and needs attention as some just dont understand what it does to us. We do matter. The last doctor I tried talking to...he looks at me and says "we all go through crap in life, we just gotta learn to deal with it." I pushed through another couple of years and it's progressing rather quickly so I practically begged this new doctor to help me with this particular issue and in a week's time she diagnosed me and set me up with psychotherapy and a neurologist. I sure hope this is a start for a new beginning as I'm really not sure I can remain stuck in the situation I've been in for so long now. I need to be able to work again so I can officially say "this isn't the life for me and I can make it on my own." Thank you so much for your kindness and I'll be keeping you in prayer 🙏
