Hi Hiliemoon,
Been where you are, know the feelings of frustration when no one seems to be listening.
I agree you should ask for an MRI of cervical, thoracic & lumbar spine. Depending on the results, maybe a lumbar puncture to test for inflammatory markers. Have you had any bloodwork to check for autoimmune causes? The high heart rate, has it only happened once? Do you feel dizzy when you stand up? Just curious...the autonomic nerves can be affected with neuropathy.
You may want to ask for a referral to a teaching hospital.They are willing to do more testing.
Hope you find some answers soon.
