MS vs GBS

My Doctor once joked that I should donate my body to science fiction and starting to think he's right.
Between the ages of 19-25 I went to see 7 different doctor's for muscle/joint pain, shortness of breath, recurrent cluster headaches and dizziness that laster for 7 months although it was stated to me that it was all in my head.  I have blood drawn and each and every time I was asked to come back in to the office for additional blood teasts because they felt I had Leukemia.  One time I was admitted overnight and had my blood tested every hour.  Well all the tests came back negative.  I was handed a bottle of asprin and sent on my merry way.
3 years later I had Optic Neuritis.  3 years after both legs went numb as I sat at my desk at work.  Had an MRI and then I was dx w/ MS.  
Soooo I made the mistake of having blood drawn again (think I would have learned by now to avoid that) and was told that I have Guilliane Barre Syndrome by 2 Doctor's.  Something to do with my direct or indirect bilirubin level being slightly elevated.  So I asked, do I have MS or GBS.  I was told that since we are in Colorado and MS is much more common that it must be MS.  So I asked well what about the bilirubin level.  They stated that it's nothing to worry about but that my bilirubin level will never change and that I may feel tired because of it.  
I only see my Family practice doctor's because I called 5 neuro's here and was told that they do not specialize in MS or GBS and referred me to the MS clinic.  Waste of time, all I gained from going there is some info pamplets and a list of support groups.
Who do I see so i can r/o either MS or GBS?
Thank You
