Hi. I was diagnosed with a brain lipoma (small benign---not cancerous----fatty cyst-like tumor) when I was 12, I am now 22 and have been getting sick an incredible amount. For the past 2 weeks I have been in a constant state of fatigue, I could literally sleep all day with no problems. I have had a constant headache for about a week now with no relief from OTC medications. My eyes hurt and feel like they are straining/tugging when I look any direction but straight, and they are extremely sensitive to sunlight (even when I'm wearing sunglasses--sometimes I have to wear them inside if there are a lot of windows). My vision often gets blurry but that only lasts a few seconds on and off. I have been on medication for migraines since I was 12 (that's how they found the lipoma--trying to figure out the cause of the migraines--but they are evidently unrelated) and I switched to topamax daily about a year ago and am STILL having the tingling and numbness sensation s/e in my feet and hands (mainly my feet--and sometimes it gets SO severe it's actually painful). Lastly, I have been having some chest pain and my pulse has been in the upper 120s-130s on and off for the past month. My last MRI about a year ago showed that the lipoma had grown a few cm (the first time in 10 years evidence of growth was shown)--and I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on based on my dx and symptoms?!
Thanks!


--i forgot to mention that I am also forgetting things a lot. The other day I forgot the gate code to my apartment I've been living in for a YEAR! I had to sit there for a long time and think about my hand movments over the keys before I finally got it right. Little things like that have been going on for a a couple months now.
