Default Undx's MS and Scared

I'm new to the group and I'm scared. Scared because I'm just not getting answers.

I've had three events, October 2011, May 2012, November 2012 with these issues and a few new ones added especially during the last two episodes. Each episode lasted about 48hours and I slowly improved between each one. It takes about 6-8 weeks to recover.

-Muscle weakness
-extreme stiffness
-tremors
-vibrations in head and body-my body is always vibrating
-eyes balls hurt and feel like they are always jumping
When my eyes are close, rolling black blocks to the point of making me dizzy -Eyes have been checked and nothing.
-severe headaches
-shortness of breath
-squeezing under by rib cage-tested for stomach issues, gall bladder-normal
-arms, legs pins and needles
-extreme bouts of heat rushes what make me tingle all over and pins and needles-the only thing that helps is having a popsicle
-stomach issues and pain
-stabbing, ribbing pain in chest and stomach
-trouble hearing at times
-flashes of white light in my eyes.
-blurred vision
-lost bladder- peed on the floor while brushing me teeth and didn't even feel it
-lost bowels
-trouble processing what a person says
-moving strips of numbness that move all over the body
-Buzzing tingles that shoot up my spine when I bend my neck to my chin - this is a newer symtom
-jaw pain
-dizziness
-trouble swallowing - this has never gone away and gets worse with each event
-feeling like I'm walking on a tilt.

I've been tested for Lyme, Lupus and a dozen other things and everything is negative.

"White matter evaluation suggests no convincing evidenct to suggest a demyelinating process. There is a focal T2 and FLAIR hyperintensity white matter seen in the rightfrontal lobe which is non specific . Incidental note made of a right posterior frontoparietal developmental venous anomaly."

The scariest thing happened in November. I was lying down and went to get up and my body was paraylised from the neck down for about 15 seconds.


I have had a brain and spine MRI which states...
"White matter evaluation suggests no convincing evidenct to suggest a demyelinating process. There is a focal T2 and FLAIR hyperintensity white matter seen in the rightfrontal lobe which is non specific . Incidental note made of a right posterior frontoparietal developmental venous anomaly."

I've seen two specialist which basically say "They can't say I have MS and the can't say I don't. "

I am on gabapentin and baclofen which help a bit with the symtoms.

I am lost and terrified at this point.
