It sounds like you need to go to a neurologist with this MRI and the report from the radiologist.  With your focal hyperintensities on the white matter, MS is definitely indicated.

One of my first symptoms that made me suspect MS was the dizziness and vertigo.  Then I began to notice extreme numbness and tingling.  It turned out that I had a lesion in my cerebellum causing my worst symptoms.

The next step is to see the neurologist, who will evaluate your symptoms and MRI results.  He will most likely schedule you for a spinal tap to draw fluid to have it evaluated for antibodies.  Oligoclonal banding indicates that your blood-brain barrier has been breached, which is one of the signs of MS.  

Check our Health Pages on the top right of this page.  They are written by people with MS, who know a lot about it!  They should be able to answer most of your questions.  Even if you're having trouble thinking clearly, which is a frequent problem with MS.  Good luck!  Let us know how you do.
