Bizi & Fancylady,

Thank you for your warm welcome. I really like NT and all the caring, supportive people I've found here.

It's been kind of scary having an uncommon health issue, one even my NS doesn't know much about. There does not seem to be an established protocol for Tarlov Cyst treatment and my doctor is checking to find the latest information.

I will not be having surgery or other treatments except pain management at this point. I'll be seeing another NS specialist at the suggestion of my first NS. I was nearly overwhelmed with the thought of the what-ifs and risks of surgery and am actually relieved my first NS was against the surgery.

It has helped so much to communicate with others, especially now that I am on line and don't feel so isolated.

Blessings,

kiza
