I also had severe vertigo (and my ENT doc had ruled out any ear problems), loss of taste/smell, muscle spasms in my face on 1 side, blurred vision that came from nowhere (woke up 1 day and it was there). Oh, and for probably 3-4 years, I had numbness off and on in my pinkie and ring fingers on both hands....

... I 'failed' the evoked potentials (so to speak). Hypomobility lower body. Hypermobility upper body. Unsteady gait. I also had areas where I could not detect cold/hot/pain sensations on my legs.

My neuro is 'Mr. Thorough'.
