Should I go through more test?

I recently went to my PCP because I was having major pain in my face and just told him I haven't felt right since having my son in May 2009. I have alot of pain and cramps in my legs and hands along with memory loss and repeating myself like crazy and not even realizing it. I went for an MRI and the results came back  as vague faint increased signal in the lower left anterior pons and medulla oblongata. It says it may just represent artifact but it could be a white matter disease. I was referred to a Neurologist but he didn't seem to concerned or really explain anything to me. He just scheduled a MRI T3 Scanner and Evoked Potential testing. I am just not sure if this is severe enough I should wait and see if I have any more symptoms or if I shoudl go through with all the test. THanks!

You are probably right. It is just alot of money and time into the test but I guess if they do find something it will be worth it. Thanks!

The more information the neurologist can get, the better.  It will give you piece of mind too.  I think you should go through with the test.

Good luck!
