Hello everyone
Well I had my brain, c and t spine MRIs. I am still upset my brain mri could not ordered with contrast..darn insurance denied it. Both reports came back negative except for the brain that stated "borderline low lying right cerebrellar tonsil"

I have no idea what that means, kinda freaked me out a little. I have not seen the neuro yet (I picked up the reports myself at the imaging facility).

I am to see a Hand specialist Monday. Very curious to hear what he says about my ring finger numbness...it could very well be attributed to my mild carpal tunnel??

I'm just also very curious what cause my finger numbness, occasional toe numbness and a decrease in temperature sensation in my extremities, occasional dizziness and feeling off balance at times??? I know there are so many things that can mimic MS.

Thank you all for your support and help. I can now understand how this process of figuring all of this out takes. It's very frustrating!

I had never heard of a cerebellar tonsil but I found this explanation.

Thanks, Vicky!
I read the link. It is very interesting how it states he symptoms involve balance and can cause some sensory involvement which I have. Ughhh, I'm such a worry wort. I just have to wait and see what the neuro says next Friday. I was assuming it could've been MS but was a little shocked to hear about this tonsil thing and how it does relate to my main symptoms;(
