I had several of the same things but not all. My specialist didn't even order a B-12 test, something that I later asked my PCP to do. One thing I remember I had that isn't on your list is TB.
No surprise coming from me but I think that everyone who suspects MS should have a comprehensive D panel as part of initial testing. Besides the frequency of deficiency associated with MS, it can cause neurological sx.
