Hello, welcome to HCM.
Only hyper intense signal on flair sequence is not diagnostic for multiple sclerosis. So no need to worry about that.
It will better if you consult neurologist but at present there is no significant problem on brain scan.
Numbness or tingling may ne related to changes at cervical spine like intervertebral disc herniation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
