Hi. I was diagnosed with an optic glioma when I was 3 months old, but it has been stable since I was 3 and a half. Now I’m 18 and have been experiencing some concerning symptoms including: nausea amp vomiting, dizzy spells and changes in my menstrual cycle. I have had some hormonal changes since starting and stopping the pill but this seems like more than simply hormonal fluctuations. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi Julie
Your symptoms definitely sound like they coulf be related to a brain tumor or lesion
Don't panic
There are varying degrees of tumors
But nausea and vomiting is serious in relation to one.
I would definitely look at ghe possibilities of having
What is known as a pituitary tumor
The good thing is they are not cancerous
I would get the doctor to check
Your cortisol as well as your prolactin levels
And get an mri if possible
Also
I would possibly go to the emergency at the
Hospital in case it is an
Adrenal crisis
All the best
Mine is cancerous.
Well hopefully the doctors can help you
There are supplements like
Glutathione and vitamin C that can
Occasionally help a little
