Hi. I was just looking through the posts and I saw that no one answered you. I don't understand your reading at all because I am in diagnosed and new to this. I am writing because I also posted a request for someone to hopefully help me understand my MRI around the same time and I also got no responses. I was very very warmly welcomed into the community but then no one responded when I had test info. I am wondering if we might be asking in the wrong forum or something (although I think you might have reported in the expert forum too). I feel really badly that no one responded to me -- and I'm a little worried I committed some kind of forum "sin" that I don't know about. I hope not as that wasn't my intention and I'm sure not yours either. While I am a married female you and I have a lot in common. I used to weigh 267 pounds. I had a Bariatric surgery which I think was the beginning of my neurological troubles. But I also understand anxiety depression smoking etc. all I can tell from your reading is that "no mass lesion" is a GOOD thing but that doesn't mean you don't have a problem neurologically! I am going through umdiagnosis angst myself... it is very difficult. My thoughts will be with you. I wish you the best and I do hope someone with some knowledge gives you some input.
