Can someone help me with my MRI of brain?

I have had 2 brain MRI in past. I found something on the last one I am concerned with. Report said all good, but I take the disk and go through each one carefully. I have ask 2 doctors to look at my MRI with me and give me their opinion, but was turned down by both? I have a past history of optic neuritis (2003), meningitis (2005); falling all the time; involuntary muscle spasms & numb extremities. I have a neurologist who told me 2 yrs ago " I fill you have MS but we just have to wait until it rears it's ugly head". At the time, I did not know what she meant. I have done my research since then and found out it can take yr's after a symptom to show up in test results. I am just wanting to know if I should push this MRI with someone more or it is nothing and keep waiting. So, just wanting some opinion's on what to do. Thank you in advance for any advise.
* this MRI was done without contrast (the dr ordering does not ever want contrast used) and it was done with a 2D machine, not a 3(?) as I have read is best for MS lesions.

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

The MRI pic would have to be a different view in order for us to see if Chiari is a possibility.....

Chiari and MS do have similar symptoms, but for a Dr to say wait until it rears it's ugly head?...ugh....

Post the other pic on your profile page and let us know when you have one posted....

Youo may want to post in the MS forum as well for more detailed info on the lesions...
