Still Mysterious

I am still on this "mystery train" as I call it. I saw a neurologist about my left sided numbness and had another MRI, turns out NO TUMOR great! Small angioma was still present as well as vascular prominence. fun! Still no explaination, possibly migranes or depression or the "I dont know" syndrom.
