8 year old daughter with dizziness headaches and nausea

My 8 year old had a MRI in the summer of 2007 for early growth and a 1 cm pineal cyst was found.The neuro-surgeon said it was nothing they will keep a eye on it for a couple of years and then just let it go.In December of 2007 she started to get dizzy spells that would get so bad it would make her so sick to her stomach she could not eat.Then headaches started the doctor still said no worry.The spells would come and go last for a day or 2 and then she would be fine.She is now on 21 days of being dizzy and sick to her stomach.The dizziness had her hospitalized for 3 days,she has lost balance and fallen,she had a MRI done and in a matter of 5 months from the last MRI several more cysts have developed in the pineal bed.I am not a doctor,but I fail to see how any of this is not related.And it sounds like I am not the only mother experiencing similar symptoms and the same thing being said by doctors about thier child.Tests are still being done,but I still think it is all senseless and the problem is right in front of thier faces.

Our 8 year old daughter started having problems with her left eye turning in mid February 2008. This has pretty much stopped but then 1 month ago she started fainting. She has fainted 8 times in the past 5 weeks (6 times in less than 3 weeks). ECG, echocardiagram etc all normal. She had an MRI and it shows a pineal cyst. Neurologist says there is good flow around the cyst but he still wants to follow up. Daughter is also having more headaches than usual and upset stomach. When she faints there is no warning, she just drops flat on her face.
