Dr Chang, Thankyou for putting this webinar together. Very comprehensive and pragmatic information- recently diagnosed with a Meningioma after I/O worsening migraines. Await neuro review. Your info has assisted with questions to ask, considerations and very reassuring. Keep up your great work.
Thank you for this content. I’m having my 6 month follow up MRI day after tomorrow. My headaches have gotten progressively more often and severe over the past few years. The next one of concern is near my optic nerve. I feel prepared with much more in depth questions when I get my results. It was a little overwhelming but I just have to put on my big girl panties and make some decisions. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this!!!
Hello, I am a 60 year old woman diagnosed with a Meningioma 2 years ago. The Neurologist told me about the Meningioma but he did not/would not show me my scans. It appears to be slow growing. The first Meningioma was measured 1.0 x .07. One year later the Meningioma measured 1.0 x .08. From the first day that I found out about the tumor I wanted it removed. The Neurologist said no. I have been sick for the past 2 years, the Neurologist says NONE of my symptoms are the result of the tumor. I have terrible headaches/migraines, I have tried 5 different medications, each medication made me feel worse than just having the headaches. I previously did not have many headaches, now I have to be in a dark room with an ice pack on my head praying for sleep so I don’t feel the headache. Not being sure where in my brain the Meningioma is located I feel lost about my own health. In addition to the headaches I currently have speech difficulties, gait disturbances, loss of coordination and falling often. i have osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, degenerative disc disease with extreme back pain, SICCA, GERD, and the most debilitating symptom for me is the fatigue. No matter how long I sleep I never feel rested. I stopped working 2 years ago, I was unable to fulfill my duties. I have been on LTD while I wait for SSDI to make a decision regarding my claim. I am now experiencing memory loss, cognitive issues, muscle weakness, and I struggle with concentration, screen time and reading books. I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and this area is not known for stellar health care providers. Is there any way for me to send you my 2 MRI results and get your opinion? I am desperate for information about my own Meningioma. Thank you in advance!!!
It’s not just thinking about putting up headaches at their current pain level. Mine progressed and there is no way to predict how painful they will get. Mine got very bad over 2 years and accelerated in strength.
My husband is 82 years old has cognic decline symptoms,walking problems,balance problems,and has lost some use in his left arm,he has a right frontal lobe menigioma
Hi! Thank you for this information. I am waiting for my appointment with the neurosurgeon for my newly diagnosed 45mm wide by 16mm thickness frontal/ temporal meningioma with a 5mm midline shift. My question is should I stop my strength training completely or can I continue or continue with light strength training? My appointment is 2 weeks away.
I’ve just had a second mri scan and waiting to see the doctor, I’m suffering with headaches And a few other symptoms, the doctor doesn’t want to remove the tuma because it looks settled, just with I could have it removed… regards helen
I have been having numerous falls, so i was sent in for an MRI to rule out anything in my head as the cause. It turns out I have a .5 centimeter meningioma on my frontal vertex. I started medication for depression, anxiety, and mood disorders almost two years ago, because i thought it was my only option. My vision has been a little wonky for the past couple months, and I'm on medication for vertigo. When i went to my primary she said that we'll monitor it for 6 months and then do another scan. I asked if it could be the cause of all these things and I was told no. I'm curious as to why i had the MRI? What were they looking for? I'm so confused. I would rather take care of it now rather than later. What if it kills me before the 6 months is up. Also, my primary is not the one who ordered the MRI.

What is considered small and large ?
How about at the top of the brain one being a solid mass and the other being a mas of small tumors.
