I had c spine fusion in 2005.  I have almost all the symptoms you describe.  I have twitching from head to toe too. They say it's from my neck but the fusion looks fine on MRI.  I've been searching for an answer for 2 years.  No answer so far. It feels like MS to me but all my tests have come back normal.  I firmly do not believe it's the neck.  I have blurry vision too.  There's no way neck and vision can be connected.  I obviously can't help you but do not believe it's all coming from your neck.  Whatever I have was definitely triggered by the neck surgery though.
