Hello CrystalAnn,
I agree with TheSleeper ---- it would be a good idea to get a copy of your MRI report. I have never heard the term “ditzles.”

New neurologist – just did a basic in office exam. I.e. raise your arms, squeeze my fingers and check your reflexes.
He said there was absolutely nothing wrong with me.

Your Neurologist did a Neurological exam/evaluation. Since he said nothing was wrong your Neurological exam/evaluation was normal. When someone has Multiple Sclerosis the Neurological exam/evaluation is never completely normal, there will always be some deficits/abnormal results.
Drs. look for "signs" that might indicate what is going on with a patient. Signs are those thing found on exam and testing. At this point and from what you have written, there is no sign for your symptoms. This does not mean you are making it up, it could simply mean whatever is going on isn't detectable at this point.
There are many conditions, medication side effects, vitamin/mineral deficiencies and mental health problems that can cause similar symptoms as those seen in MS. Part of the diagnostic criteria requires all other possible causes for a person's symptoms be ruled out.
Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating Disease of the Central Nervous System. The diagnostic criteria (The Revised McDonald Criteria) relies heavily on MRI evidence.
