Help! Deep Muscle Pain & Tremors

I hope you can help me. I have seen numerous neurologists and so far the only diagnosis that keeps coming up is Essential Tremor. They say Essential Tremor but also something else. I was dx with MS 6 years ago. No lesions in brain. Spinal fluid okay. So one says can't be MS, another says it could be. I've had asthma since childhood and have taken lots & lots of prednisone, that is why the other Dr. says it still could be MS and that the Prednisone could be the reason that lesions are not showing. Here is a short version of my symptoms. Deep, achy muscle pain, muscle spasms affect every part of my body (not all at the same time). I have difficulty walking after sitting for a short while. When I first get up in the morning my walking is like a wind up tin soldier. I have tingling from head to soles of feet. Toes wiggle and move without provocation. Loss of sensation in feet and lower legs. Pain in hips. Red swollen and crooked fingers. Meralgia paresthetica in upper left frontal thigh. TMJ for 20 years now. Loud chirping crickets in my ears. The last Dr. said I walk funny. I have had several bouts of optic neuritis.I have great balance problems. Look up = fall down.I have trouble with my speech. Some words stutter others don't come out right. I get occasional electric like shocks in th lower back of my head. I have motion sickness. Can't remember things. Heat saps my strength and when I get really cold my body goes into hyper-shake, totally uncontrollably.
I realize that these symptoms individually don't amount to much, but collectively they have caused me to be unable to work any more. Is there some way that you can look at these symptoms and give me something to go on? I just want to be normal again and able to work. Thank you very much for looking over my long list. I am truly waiting for an answer and a diagnosis.

did you ever find out the answer.  I have some of the same problems.  I have deep, achy muscle pain, muscle spasms affect my whole body but not at the same time and sometimes when I lay down I get one big spasm.  If I try to run, not working out, just run, say, after a bus, my ankles won't cooperate.  I run like a tin soldier.  Bad balance problems, I have a drunken sailor's walk.  I'm having problems with my speech, I slur words, run them together, I can't get straight in my head the thoughts and they all jumble together and I get tongue tied, I have problems word-searching, I don't swallow when I don't so saliva builds up.  My memory is shot.  I sometimes get shocks that run up my arm.  MRI shows nothing, will go in for an EEG, and ECG (for my chests pains and shortness of breath.  Would like to know if you find anything out
