MRI results, very confused. please help

I had a Mri done and i have had some done in the past. I saw a few doctors for my head and one said after taking MRI's and CT's he sat me and my mom down and told me my brain is shrinking. That was when i was 18 and i am 20 now he told me it would hit me nerves next he thought but sence he was a neurosurgen he said he couldn't do anything. He sent me to a neurolighst who said i had the most fluid he has ever saw in a persons head. i also saw another one who said subdural hygroma.

I do have Ehlers-Danlos type 3 and thyroid caner papillary kind but mixed with meany kind of features

my MRI W/O contrast results said

Cerebral Hemisphere, Basal GanGila:  Very few punctate Subcortical T2 Hyperintensites, Mildly prominent prevascular space. No acute infract. No hemosiderin.

BrainStem, Cerebellum: somewhat small posterior fossa. Cerebellar tonsils project into but not significantly below the foramen magnum. No compression of the cervicomedullary juction.

Ventricles, Sulci: Not dilated. Prominent subarachnoid spaces at the vertex are symmetric and not significantly change.

Basilar Cisterns: clear

Vasculature: Noraml flow voids.

Paranasal Sinuses: Somewhat distorted from metallic artifact in the mouth. Some mucosal thickening in the ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses.

This is the problem with the spine on mri W/O contrast report

Cervical spine:

Brainstem Cord: Normal. Cerebellar tonsils project into but not below the level of the foramen magnum.

Bone,Soft Tissue, FaccetJoint, C1-2,C2-3: all normal

C3-4 : normal disk. mild uncal hypertrophy
C4-5, C5-6, C6-7, C7-T1: Normal disk. Neural foramina are patent.

MRI Lumbar spine and Mri Thoratic W/O contrast

Cord, Cauda Equuina: Normal. Conus is L1.

Bones, Soft Tissues : No marrow edema. Minimal wedging of the  T10 and T11 Vertebral bodies.

Facet joint: Normal alignment. mild sclerosis at L4-5 and L5-S1. Neural foramina are patent.

Disk: No herniations. Mild bulging at T4-5 and T10-11 without significant Stenosis.
Other: No signal abnormalities in the paravertebral muscles and the posterior subcutaneout.fat

Is there anything that can maybe stand out because doctors are disagreeing back and forth. 2 neurosurgens said cerbral atrophy, but no one can figure out whats causeing itthey have never saw it before . One neurogist said its fluid on the brain Hydrocephalus its the most he has ever saw. Another neurogist said no because Hydrocephalus is not between the skull and the brain like mine he said its subdural hygroma. The fluid is more in the back of the head I have one MRI when i was 6 my brain was small then it looks smaller now but looks like it was cut in the back and the peice that was cut is gone..

So if anything stands out or sounds familiar can you let me know or tell me abot the MRI results. Thank you.
