I would suggest you get yourself into a Multiple Sclerosis clinic, if you have one nearby and can get a referral or refer yourself. A specialist neurologist should be able to handle your list of symptoms. I belong to a Transverse Myelitis support group, and your symptoms all sound very familiar, but being a less common diagnosis, it is often overlooked. Remember this too . . . not everything that is occurring in our bodies will show up on an x-ray, CT scan, or MRI. Now, whether your symptoms will respond to the standardized treatment protocols most practitioners follow is another matter. I live with a great deal of pain that is either unresponsive to the medications I have tried, or because I also have Crohn's and digestive system issues, the side effects were intolerable . . . so I pretty much don't have a lot I can do about my symptoms. But to just find out what is causing them can be helpful.
