Answer:

Dear Kathy,
Your questions are very forthright and most of them are not answerable, at least on the Internet or perhaps in the real world. I have heard of MRV, assumng that is a test of blood flow in your brain's venous sytem. I typically do an MRA, which looks at blood flow in the arterial system of the brain. So, I can't comments on his comments. because I simply do not know. I also have no idea of what test he may have done for a mutation. You might want to have him go over the MRI results and the testing with you. It is your data. Truly, I am confused about your results and you might want to seek the assistance of a headache specialist in your area, if your headaches are still present to a significant degree.
