Where should I go now??

Hi, I`ve posted in the past and have had some more tests done since, so I wanted to ask your opinion on where I should go from here. I started having numbness, tingling, mild intermittent eye pain in the right eye, fasiculations, and tendon tightness in the extremities 9 1/2 months ago, after my 1st baby was born. I seen a neurologist a month after it began. He performed a brain and c-spine MRI which were normal and a nerve conduction test and blood test which were normal, that was 7 mos. ago. I seen a 2nd neurologist after the first one. He did a heavy metal blood test which I think came back normal. He said he would call if anything came up w/ it, and he didn`t. He did a Somatosensory Evoked Potentials lowers test on me, which came back normal also. My symptoms are still w/ me, but slightly better. He said he wanted to monitor me for a while. What do you think I should do now? How would you diagnose me? Thanks....

I created the question and will email them to everyone tonight-  There are over 50 questions- mostly yes/no.  I will forward them as a word document in a table format, you can save it to your hard drive, answer the question, re save, than forward back to me as an attatchment.  Please let me know if you need help doing this or do not have word on your computer and I'll think of some other way. When I get everyones response I will then compile the question in one table and forward them to everyone.  Please be specific in your reply and try to get back to me by next Tue.
