I'm really happy to meet you! I wish there was a place I could steer you where you would find great health care and doctors who really help. But I just haven't found it yet. I think the problem is the pain, and it doesn't matter if it comes from tarlov cysts, or constant back pain, or migraines. It's the pain itself that so disrupts our lives, and makes us want to scream. That is something we all have in common. I've been in pain for five years and seen twenty-seven doctors, but I don't even have a diagnosis yet.

I doubt you'll find anyone here who can cure your condition, but they can teach you loads about how to live with it the best you can. There is some real experience on these boards, and people who just love to help out others who share their limitations and trials. I hope you take the time to get to know them, because they can really make a difference in your life. They have in mine. I really hope to see you around the forums, and look forward to getting to know you a little better. Good luck, and great wishes!
