Default Help with MRI results

Hi everyone,

I'm a 29 year old female who has been to several drs lately for a variety of new symptoms that have gotten worse over the past few years: extreme fatigue (i could literally go into a corner on the floor right now and fall asleep in two seconds), tingling in left eye for several years that has now moved to tingling in lower left side of face near my lips, numbness in right side of neck to right side of chest that comes and goes, increased light sensitivity, legs always feel exhausted and crampy like i ran a marathon, shaky/lightheaded/dizzy, embarrassing memory problems, and very infrequent bladder incontinence.

Blood test/urinalysis: SED rate was slightly elevated, and I had tests to rule out autoimmune diseases like Lupus. Urinalysis found numerous neutrophils and proteins but no UTI (they told me I wasn't drinking enough water). Drs thought, based on my symptoms, possibly MS or lyme (and others said I need to take Xanax because it's all anxiety/stress, although I don't feel more stressed than usual).

Had an MRI done and the results are: Approx 3 punctate foci of T2/FLAIR hyper intensities within the subcortical white matter of the right cerebral hemisphere with are not specific.

I just got back from the neurologist, who couldn't tell me what those MRI results really were caused from but not to worry. I have been a migraine sufferer for much of my life, but they said the above MRI results would be due to an increase in migraine frequency, which I haven't really had.

Can anyone explain to me from their experience what the above MRI results can mean, and if I should be concerned? Could the results really just be from migraines, or could the MRI results - coupled with my other symptoms - be MS?
