Unknown disorder

At the end of March 2009 I went to see my doctor with regards to flu like symptoms and a pain behind my eye/forehead. It was a pain similar to sinusitis. After taking antibiotics the pain hadn't gone away so on April 3rd 2009 with a now added stiff neck to the symptoms I went to see my doctor again this time i was prescribed an anti depressant in the belief it was stress causing my symptoms.  On Saturday April 4th 2009 at 5pm I found i couldn't speak, was delirious, jaw ache pain, half my face was numb/tingling sensation, sensitive to light, feeling sicks and a massive headache. I was rushed to hospital where i had CT scan, lumber punction and blood tests. The diagnoses was given as viral meningitis, after around a week I was allowed home. Since that day i have not felt 100%. After around a month i returned to work, i do a physical job operating woodwork machinary, folklift trucks at a builder's merchant. On the afternoon of Friday 22nd May I felt really dizzy and faintish, so i went to hospital on the safe side just to get checked out, by around 9pm i felt ok so I was discharged and went home. I felt I was gradually getting better until Monday June 15th 2009, when all of a sudden i had another attack milder but very similar to the one i had in April rather than in May, I went straight to my doctor rather than hospital who told me to go to hospital again in which had to. This time i had a lot more tests, CT, MRI, blood tests and another lumber puncture. The CT and MRI showed several scaring areas on my brain in an area associated with Multiple Sceroisis. By the Friday even i was deemed fit to go home, so I decided and under doctor advice to go on my pre booked holiday and take it easy. Whilst I was on holiday i had another type of delirious headache chestpain attack and was seen too by ambulance staff, i didn't leave the holiday chalae for the rest of my holiday. Around a month or so later i really wanted to go back to work so with my doctors permission for light duties and part time i did, but my boss sent me home and bascially stated because i kept going dizzy, struggling and my balance told me to go home as i am a danger to myslef as well as others. I've now stuck on sick pay for months, bored and desperately want to go back to work. I'm getting used to being dizzy, feeling sick along with aching pains throughout my body and  i'm due another MRI end of October after seeing a nurologist last month. I also have a history of Migraine and IBS too and have experienced several different attacks  in 2002, 2004, 2005 of what i feel like now, apart from after a week or so they went away. This time its stayed for 5/6 months and i still feel it. Does it sound similar to you?

The results from a second MRI came back and the scarring is still unchnaged on my brain. They are now saying possible stroke although i'm only 32 and hardily over weightand was pretty fit played a lot of sports.
