Seeing you're from NJ, and given your "name" I'm assuming you love animals and are surrounded by them (me, too!) I'll mention this...some masses seen in MRI's are white these white masses have been seen in the brains of people with Lyme Disease.
I have no idea what your other symptoms are, and am only suggesting this as something to learn more about given you live in a high risk state and you're a critter lover.
Seizures and headaches are just two of the symptoms of Lyme disease...but of course many other conditions can cause these symptoms as well.
I'm envious that you have a cat and a horse as well.
Best of luck and health to you and your critters!

Yes, I understand. I have wonderful friends who have been and can be very supportive...but it's very different than the responsiveness and sensitivity my critters share with me.

Many Lymies suggest seeing a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor as others are not well versed and are not aware that the Elisa test is not recommended.
I'm not suggesting you have Lyme, but if your doctors rule everything out and do not have clear cut answers, I would definitely follow up with ruling out Lyme!!
Take care, and keep us posted. You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers.
