Confused medical mystery

Hi,

I've been having trouble getting diagnosed over the past 6 months. In January I started having episodes of dizziness and muscle weakness. It got so bad that my co-workers sent me home in a livery cab. I went to see a Neurologist who sent me to the ER. They ran tons of tests and found nothing. The Neuro did an MRI and found an opacified right sinus and 2 herniated discs. Did PT for the discs and antibiotics for the sinus. Since then I have seen that Neurologist, an Infectious Disease Dr., my new PCP who is an Oncologist/Hematologist as well, an ENT, a Rheumatologist, an Opthalmologist, my Gynocologist, a Psychiatrist and 2 Physiatrists. I've have 4 MRIs, a sleep deprived EEG, a pelvic sonogram, about 12 roudns of blood test and a CT Scan. The only thing that keeps coming out not normal is the right sinus opacification. Both Physiatrists agree that the herniation isn't severe enough to be causing my muscle weakness. The ENT and my PCP and my dentist (DMD) agree the sinus thing would not cause the dizziness, muscle weakness or the other neurological symptoms that have appeared in the meantims (short term memory problems, slurred speech, uncoordination, balance issues, trouble with small motor function (buttons, typing, dialing the phone). I've been on another round of antibiotics and steroids since then to no avail. My ENT and PCP want to surgically remove the sinus blockage and do some exploratory including taking a brain fluid sample so they will have stuff to run cultures and biopsies on. My PCP is also sending me to a new Neuro and my old Neuro sent me to a Cardiologist who I will see next week. Anybody recognze my symptoms or have any advice or comments?
