Calcified pineal gland
in Health ·
Hey there.
I’ve been living with an MS diagnosis since 2008. It started as a random finding on a brain MRI—a pineal gland cyst measuring 8mm. A year later, a follow-up scan showed it had grown to 10mm. By 2010, the MRI showed it hit 12mm and was pressing against the superior colliculi.
My neurologist tells me not to sweat it, claiming this is a totally normal occurrence in plenty of people. I don't buy it. It doesn't feel "normal" to me, and honestly, looking at my symptoms, I can't tell if they're coming from the MS or the pineal cyst...
