Hi
Did you receive any reply to the above. I am on a desperate search for relief from agonizing pain. Where did you read about scientists believing that tarlov cysts may be caused by the herpes simplex virus? I have been in excrutiating pain for months. I will not detail the medical journey here but it has been extensive and hopeless at this point. A tarlov cyst showed up on one of my MRI's and was on the S3 but "inconsequential". All of the symptoms noted for tarlov cysts are dead on for me. I have just had an extensive bout of shingles (6 weeks) As well I am very susceptible to very bad cold sores.
If anyone has further information on the herpes simplex connection could you please let me know.
Thanks
