Is this MS if not what??

2 years ago I had an episode when I lost all feeling and use of my arms and legs on the left side of my body, that lasted for about 10 days.  I had a CT of the head because they thought possible stroke (I'm 27 years old and female).  CT was good but still having memory loss problems and wekaness in my left side.  I had a MRI of the brain and Cspinal but both were also clear.

Now to date I still deal with the left sided weakness and tingling and numbness in my left arm and leg, sometimes I have the feeling of water running down my legs and electricity shooting out my arms and legs, and extreme fatigue after very little activity and muscle twitching.
I had an EMG and nerve conduction test that showed that the nerves in my lower legs were reacting very slowly and the Dr. could not rule out possible MS and now last week I had a spinal tap and several of the levels were on the high side of the normal range and it said that there were race mononuclear white cells in the CSF.

I've had ton of tests done and seen numerous Doctors and I still keep coming up without answers and my symptoms last longer and my good days and fewer than they used to be, any help would be appreciated!
