Hello everyone,

Haven't posted in a bit. Went off the deep end when I started my abx. Just detoxing now.

I received a report today of an MRI I had in November. It showed 2 brightened focal points and also a healed calcified pineal gland.

Anyone have any idea about the pineal gland? I googled it but didn't come up with too much.

I have a neuro appt. on Feb.2 to discuss my headaches. So I will of course ask him. My LLMD wanted me to get a second opinion from neuro just to make sure we aren't dealing with a few different things.

Anyone have any info on this pineal gland?

Thanks, kikat

Wow. You had to wait a long time for that report!!

I know you said "healed calcified panel" but I brought you a link to some info on the pineal gland. It does mention headaches.

Do you have insomnia too?

Thanks lymetoo,

I read it over but just like all the other web pages they only refer to tumors. I also read that a tumor can calcify.

My GP told me today that it was not a tumor but he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Guess I will have to wait until next Tuesday.

I haven't had insomnia...I of course take 1mg of Klonopin though before bed for anxiety.

For sure on the headaches though.

Thanks again, kitkat
