Help Us Give a Voice to Pineal Cyst Sufferers – Support Our Awareness Podcast

🎙️ What We're Doing

We’re launching a powerful podcast series to give a voice to people suffering from symptomatic pineal cysts — a condition too often dismissed by the medical community.

Doctors say: “It won’t kill you. Just live with it.”

But those living with it know the truth: It can rob you of your quality of life — causing debilitating headaches, dizziness, vision problems, cognitive fog, insomnia, and even delusions.

It’s time to change the narrative.

🔊 Why It Matters

Most surgeons won’t operate. The medical system often ignores this condition. But what about the people who live in daily pain? Who can’t work, drive, or think clearly? Who are no longer themselves? Who are being dismissed over and over?

This podcast will spotlight their stories. Real people. Real suffering. Real urgency.

We aim to:

  • Interview patients from around the world
  • Bring on neurologists and surgeons willing to speak up
  • Share lived experiences that challenge the status quo
  • Build pressure for better treatment and recognition

    🎙️ Episode 1: “Kelly A Part 2"

    Welcome to part 2 of the premiere of Pineal Stories, the podcast that gives voice to those living with symptomatic pineal cysts — a condition often dismissed, misunderstood, and under-researched.

    In this episode, we continue to share our story wherein were told these symptoms were “unrelated” or “irrelevant,” while we knew better from our own experience. From chronic headaches and dizziness to blurred vision and overwhelming fatigue to horrific delusions — this is what the medical textbooks aren’t saying.

    • Personal account of years-long medical dismissal
    • Symptoms and patterns, many of which are shared across patient experiences
    • The emotional toll of being ignored by the medical system
