All that neuropathy is very common as well as everything else you described. It is often misdiagnosed as MS or Guillian Barre. Lesions on the brain which are like the ones with MS are common (my son has three of them.)

Thanks. I have thought about Lyme also but the only time I know I was bite by a tick was when I was 3 years old and my mom removed it right away. How probable would it be that I would go my whole life so far without any symptoms? I also know that the testing is innacurate which is the main reason I haven't pursued that. I live in Chicago and I don't ever go in or around the woods or anything like that.
