For example one day i leave the house without telling anyone and come back two years later as if I was at home yesterday. And my family don't even think of asking where i was. My mom tells me breakfast is almost ready like we have seen each other the other night.
I was occasionally thinking on that kind of totally nonsense stuff on purpose and trigger this buzz.

Most insurances will not let you see a doctor out of network. If doctors in your insurance network have ever performed under the pineal surgery code you are at that Neurosurgeon's mercy as to whether or not they will perform the procedure. Even if you do get a doctor willing to do it chances are slim that he has the experience and knowledge that would fascilitate confidence on the part of the patient in the doctor's ability to perform surgery in almost the exact center of your brain. Most likely it will require fundraisers. I struggle with idea of reaching out to my community for financial help with surgery because I am not terminal. It can be very frustrating and a long time waiting to figure out a plan.
I have been dealing with a symptomatic pineal gland tumor for almost a year. It has severely depleated my quality of life. I am totally over medicated with synthetic neurological chemicals and have days I cannot get out of bed. Sadly it's completely curable but having two children and limitted income I am stuck filling prescriptions and being treated like a lunatic when I talk to doctors. In fact, when I first started having near syncope (a dizziness unlike anything most people will ever experience) I lost feeling in my arm and became nervous at the odd reaction my body was having I went to the local small town emergency room, I insisted that I was having something neurological going on as I have a strong grasp on my mind and body. I avoid doctors' offices if I can. The doctor at the ER insinuated that I was experiencing symtoms of hysteria and fed me an aderol. I was simply nervous because I thought I might be having a stroke. I, by no means, was overly excited if anything I had a sunserviant and submissive behavior until he was going to send me home with the diagnosis of "crazy". I insisted that a scan be taken of my brain and wouldn't you know it- 12mm pineal gland cystic tumor. I was told that they are never syptomatic and that finding was incidental. After my initial visit I continued to have escalating and life altering issues while the "hysterica"l lable followed me around on my patient chart from doctor to doctor. I never even thought that it was the "cyst' so I started to fear the unknown until I decided to inform myself and look up symptomatic pineal gland tumors/cysts in scholarly documents. Time and time again I read about people, just like me, with unbearable headaches, light and sound sensitivity, intercranial pressure, imbalance, numb or falty limbs, decreased mental clarity, spike in clumsiness, ringing ears, and depression. I was diagnosed with epilepsy before I took an EEG but The EEG showed no signs of epilepsy. I have seen many neuro-doctors. It has been insane. I advocate for myself with the very part of my body that is making me feel like c**p almost every day. I get tired of the judging condescention from medical professionals and the tests. I get sick of the medication. I am sick of explaining or readdressing my discomfort every day. But I know that I am not the only one who goes through this. The medical world needs to change. This issue is rare, but it is curable. I'm sick, like many of you, of listening to doctors tell me the world is flat.
I literally had one doctor address his views on the doctors in Houston and California who perform the surgery with great success by saying, "some doctors will do anything for money". This was to suggest that they are like cult leaders and people with these "incidental" pineal tumors are not really sick but looking for a cult leader in the form of experienced neurosurgeons and that these neurosurgeons are just taking advantage of a large group of hypochondriacs.
Eyes need to be opened and the way this condition is viewed, diagnosed, and dealt with needs to change.
