Hi,

I'll make this brief. I recently got an mri (head/neck) and my neurologist is having me wait over 2 months to hear his interpretation.

My symptoms are:

chronic tinnitus and inner ear fluid

pressure in head

headaches (lower and upper back side of head)

crawling/dripping sensations near the upper back of my head (sometimes it's cold)

pulsating in my head

dizzyness and vertigo

mild cognitive effects (memory/ speech/ focus)

occasional numbness in my right hand and muscle weakness

bradycaric 58bpm

shortness of breath

My mri results:

low-lying cerebral tonsils

swollen right lymph node behind the right ear (has been that way since I was 12)

straightening of the neck, loss of curvature

non-specific hypersensities of the white matter, both in the head and neck mri.

I'm feeling hopeless for a diagnosis. Please help.

Gratefully,

Ashley
