I had a Meningioma Brain Tumor removed in 2000,it was the size of a Kiwi Fruit they told me,and they said if it had grown once more I would have gone into a Coma and died. I had bad headaches every single day,lived on pain relievers,then I started having seizures. My personality changed also, I became very mean,my own Mother told me once that she was afraid of me. My Dr. told me that I was having staring episodes also. I was even constantly hearing my heartbeat in the right side in my ear,the tumor was on the left side. I was sent to a Ear,Nose and Throat Dr. and he ordered a MRI, and the tumor showed up then in my head. If he hadn't ordered that MRI, I wouldn't be here today. If you think you could have a Brain Tumor, get an MRI, better safe than sorry. Good Luck
