I had posted quite a few messages on various forums regarding fainting spells and pain on my left side of the stomach especially after a big meal as well as dancing.
Well today I had my annual check up and I told my doctor that I feel kind a like there is a lump on left side of my stomach and made him touch exactly where I felt the lump. He said it was a good catch on my part and send me to get a ultrasound. The lady who was taking the ultrasound told me that nothing to worry about but I have a huge cyst on my left kidney. I came back up to my doctor and told him about it. He saw all the pictures and said yes, I have a big cyst on my kidney. I told them that it grows big sometimes and goes down as well. They do not beleive me. Good part is that it is benign.
It does bother me when I do some Yoga positions. So this does explain the pain and fainting spells.
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE THIS CYST GO AWAY OR MAKE IT SMALLER SO I DO NOT GET HURT FURTHER AND DAMAGE MY KIDNEY?
Also what makes this cyst? I am normally a very healthy eater. I have been a vegetarian all my life and raw vegetarian for 3 months. I do feel great overall, my alertness etc. has been great since I started iodine and raw food diet.
I take 5 drops of iodine and 5grams of vitamin C everyday. There are other vitamins I take are niacin (500mg), B2, B6, B12, A, Flaxseed oil and olive oil regularly. I also eat a lot of cayenne pepper in my food (always have, ever since I was a baby)
I appreciate all the help I can get. My doctor has asked me to see a urologist who will drain the cyst. I do not want to go that route.
