Title: Question about cysts
Post by starlight on Jun 30^th, 2007, 10:58pm

I have had a cyst on my head--it is right above my hairline. If I draw a line straight up from where the center of the pain from the CH has always been behind left eye it will hit the cyst. I have had it since I was 10. I have never considered there could be any connection. But over the past 3 years it has suddenly started getting bigger, I am going to have it removed, and now i am wondering if there could be a connection. Please don't jump on me, it just seems kind of weird--why is it so close to where I get the headaches, on same side, and everything? Is there any connection of any kind between cysts and CH? Just wondering--I am not trying to form a theory, just honestly befuddled why it is so close to site of headache pain, always discounted it before but now am wondering if it could be connected? Does anyone else have this or something like it?

The old saw in the social sciences is: "correlation is not causation." Just because two things occur at the same time does not mean that one causes the other.

Not being a doctor, I can't be sure. I doubt that there's a connection. Best of luck to you!
