fortitudine,
I'm showing my ignorance here, but I still don't understand what "outlier" means. If you were having no symptoms, what lead you to a doctor 5 years ago to begin with? If I had no symptoms, I would be skipping the lights fantastic, no matter what the MRI or Cat Scan were showing, so you must have had some "symptoms" to even be given a "diagnosis." Are you following me? It's late. I'm tired, granted. So forgive me not understanding this. But, I would be lassoing the moon if I had no symptoms, irregardless what the MRI/Cat Scan revealed. What am I missing here? Unless I were shitting myself or peeing myself, who gives a ripping, roaring f___ what the tests show? Forgive my french! 
Cindylou
