Arachnoid Cyst Symptoms, sleep disorders

[alwyn]

Hi,

I have just been informed by my doctor that I have 2 arachnoid cysts. I'm seeking answers to my day to day problems. I have had numerous issues for the last 15 years with seeking "the right" medications etc, and none have helped. I was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome at the age of 11, as I was a "wayward" child. I have severe sleep problems that I can't explain. I have been researching hypersomnia, and a lot of the symptoms are a lot like my experiences. I drink quite heavily, and think this could be a contributing factor to all of my problems. Also, I have never been near illicit drugs in my life. I have lost numerous jobs from the sleep dramas, and can't seem to ever get a good night's sleep. I wake up angry most mornings about nothing in particular, and I can't seem to pull myself out of it, I will have "good" days, and "bad" days, where I won't leave my house, which is pretty much all of the time, on the odd occassion I will indeed leave the house. I have severe agoraphobia, and am constantly socially "weird". The drinking creates a false barrier I feel to enable me to enter social situations easily. I want to know if anyone out there has experienced any of these symptoms, as I feel like the only one out there with this many problems sometimes! For the last 2 years I have kind of given up on life, and slept the problems away, and feel as if it is a chore to do anything at all. (lethargy) I want my life back! any help would be much appreciated

Thankyou
