Confused Neuro Appoinment

So I had my appt with the neurologist this morning. We looked at the MRI pictures via Stentor and explained to me what's going on. There he pointed to me the Dawson's finger! I told him that DF did not just appear on the day of my MRI ..the neurologist said it might have been there long time ago, just do not have any signs/symptoms. I was given all the preliminary tests for balance, vision, grip, reflexes, and I did good! Lucky me!

The reason I had MRI is just to rule any lesion or growth in my inner ear (had this tinnitis or ringging in my left ear for the last five months). I can deal with this.

Anyway, the doctor ordered blood test (which I will have tomorrow as he want me to fast), depending on the results of the blood test, he will order a lumbar puncture, and another MRI in three months for comparison (as I never had any MRI before). I am kind of in a wait-and-see status for now. But he said if I feel any numbness or tingling on any parts of my body, I should see him right away.

Is this incidental finding a blessing in disguise, maybe so....
