Meningioma Side Effects - Did any of you experience these types of symptoms

Hello All,

I am wondering if any of you had a similar experience and what to expect.

I have been diagnosed with a benign tumor 1 year ago in February. I felt a strange sensation in my head and basically asked my Primary Care Physician for a mri. Suprisingly we found a mass 18 x 15 x 17 mm at the right parietal frontal lobe vertex. It seems to be a meningioma and I just had my yearly scan and it is unchanged. 2-3 months ago I started working out and noticed that I was so aggressive afterwards. I brushed it off and then when I worked out at the gym again 1 week ago I experienced even more aggression. It was like my personality was changing. I even got into a fight with my sister and a neighbor  I knew something was off since my taste was changing a bit. Now I have not had symptoms my neurosurgent told me about. These symptoms would have been on my left side of my body but I didn't get them or I don't know since I have tendenitis at times from carrying my toddler. But since 2-3 days I feel dizzy at times, and I am forgetting some things or what I wanted to say. Also I am feeling a distinct pressure around my right side of the brain which is moving toward my eye. I checked with my neurosurgent who referred me to her psychiatrist and she put me on depakote. This anti seizure medication is supposed to help me and I just started to be on it. She also recommended for now to stop working out. I am a single mother who is going through a divorce process and solely financially responsible for my child. I am trying to figure out if anybody had similar experiences and what I may or should expect. I will continue the route with the psychiatrist and keep my neurosurgent involved as well. I hope this makes all sense. I thought that this benign tumor will not be affecting my life but I see that it does. My main concern is my 2 year old daughter. I should mention that surgery was not suggested and if I would do this at one point..meaning if my tumor would grow..it would be a recovery time of around 3 months.

Thank You very much.

Thanks for continuing to keep me in your thoughts. I am glad I have a little time to get things sorted out. I'm getting a trusted person to pay my bills with access to my bank account for when my disability check goes in (VERY TRUSTED 15 year old wonderful person I trust with my life). My kids are already figured out which worked out I guess in this situation. I just have to think about where Im gonna go so I wont be home alone afterwards being that I have no one else in my home but the cat. And I still am not sure what to do about the cat. Doc gave me some extra feel good meds that have me seriously messed up. The pain is there, but Im not quite so pissed about it?? Nothing I could take long term though...too addictive. 

I REALLY hope you give the home remedy a try and get the best mixture for you.

I am sorry you guys but I have to share thismight be TMI...As we know, I have been very lonely lately, almost to the point of emotional dust. I had to opportunity to be loved  last night (not the three letter word) and it was the most awesome, weird, different experience I have ever had in my life. I could feel and see every bit of energy. I could see the energy in color in my head and surrounding he and I. No I was not on drugs. My pain meds. I have not done anything like this since Alfred (my tumor) and I have never experienced anything like it before (not on any drug that I have ever done) Hey, Im 38 not gonna pretend to be perfect. Haven't done drugs in a very long long time I dont even know the stuff people are doing nowadays. Anyway. I care deeply for the person and I let him know that I needed human connection or I was just emotionally become dead and I did not know if I would get it back. He has always cared about so it wasn't someone I pulled off the street. Again, I will say, I have never ever ever experienced anything like this in my entire life. There were so many colors and so much energy. It felt like forever but only a couple of hours had past. It actually felt like a lifetime. I saw deep colors, brilliant colors and those more subdued like peach and lilac. I do not understand this and I cannot explain it. Could it be Alfred?? or am I just crazy?

Wow! That sounds amazing. I used to do a class of Healing with Energy back when I used to live in Amsterdam. The class teaches how to read the Aura but honestly I was never lucky enough to see colors. I have no idea if it is your tumor, physical exhaustion or just plainly love you needed and deserved for a long time. I don't think your crazy either. Maybe it is was divine intervention letting you know that it will be ok..no idea. But at any rate thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. I did get your message but I think it is too late to call back. I have a cold and can't sleep so I am working away since I missed part of the day yesterday. I usually go to sleep with my daughter around 10pm since she has been having nightmares lately. She is only 2 1/2 years old and her imaginary senses have kicked in. So precious. Talk to you soon. Can't wait to hear more about it!
