Lori & Shannon: When a ‘Small’ Cyst on the Brainstem Changes Everything

At age 12, Shannon went from a thriving athlete and musician to an angry, exhausted, and deeply unwell child almost overnight. What doctors brushed off as “attention-seeking,” “depression,” or even “drug-seeking” turned out to be something far more serious — a rare cyst on her brainstem causing immense pressure and life-altering symptoms. In this episode, Lori shares the long, exhausting fight to be believed, the moment a lumbar puncture briefly gave her daughter’s life back, and how a neurosurgeon in Houston finally uncovered the truth: the cyst wasn’t on the pineal gland at all, but attached to the brainstem and pressing on critical structures, including the vagus nerve. 💡 Resources & Links: Visit our website: pinealstories.com Learn more about pineal cyst symptoms and advocacy Share your story or contact us: pineal.stories@gmail.com 🎵 Credits: Music: "What I Waited For" by Kikoru – Licensed via Epidemic Sound 📅 New episodes drop every Tuesday Follow, rate, and review to help us reach more people — because the truth deserves a mic.
