Well, basically, still no answers. Thank you so much for all of your responses, thoughts, prayers, and well wishes! They have helped me keep my sanity 
Here is part of the report. I include all of this in case somebody reading has experience with something at least related. Otherwise, just ignore this part!
Basically, the MRI shows: There is focal prominence of the right jugular bulb (12mm) with strong enhancement. There is a single nonspecific T2 bright signal focus in the right periventricular region. This is consistent with microvascular change versus gliosis although demyelinating disease could appear similarly. (The rest was all normal).
IMPRESSION
Focal promiennce of the right jugular bulb and enhancement as described above, that may represent a vascular malformation, meningioma, schwannoma or glomus jugulare tumor. Please correlate clinically and follow up with MRV or direct angiogram as indicated.
Tomorrow I have the MRV done of the head and neck and next week, see an ENT to see if he knows what it is. The doctor basically cannot say. She had her colleague look at it to no avail as well. Could be congenital, a tumor/growth on the jugular, or something inner ear is the best they can give me now. I guess it is good news that they don't recognize it...I guess - I hope!
Anyway, there you have it. It is an incidental finding and nothing to do with headaches. Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts, and positive vibes Thank you! I will continue with updates as I get them myself. For now, I feel just great and am trying to keep the stress/worry under wraps, pretending that I have had this my entire lifetime and will when I die somewhere around 107 years old of very old age and nothing else :7
