Default 3rd Brain MRI

Hi Folks,
I was typing in to get someone, anyones opinion of my 3rd Brain MRI in three years. The Dr. tells me someday, something will just show up different and give us all the answers, but I have been waiting for so long, to find out what is going on with me.
I have been "drunk" feeling for four years, fallen, numb, the list goes on and on. Walking is pretty difficult lately, I walk like a gorilla, and hard to keep my balance all the time.
My new MRI says this.... Then seen as perventricular white matter disease. Multiple small hyperintensities are seen in these areas. These hyper intensities of probably increased in size and number when compared the previous exam. There is now some evidence that al least some of these have perpendicular orientation compared to the ventricles. Impression- Some evidene for increasing white matter disease. Again these findings could be secondary to small vessel disease, but the findings are also suggestive of a demelinating process such as MS. Again this will need clinical correlation.

Well, does anyone think maybe I will get a diagnosis this time, or another excuse why it's not??? I called Dr. she is thinking about the report and figuring out what to do next. Don't know what she is thinking.

Anybody?
