  I am so sorry that you have so many health problems!  It is truly shocking that the doctors have not been able to determine what is wrong.
    First off, what is your diet like?  Aspartame poisoning can cause symptoms of M.S.  And aspartame is in diet foods, diet sodas and almost all chewing gums.  MSG is in almost all processed foods and should also be avoided.  It too is poisonous in large quantities.
    I am hoping that your problems could be easily resolved with taking a multiple vitamin and supplements of Vit. D3, Magnesium Glycinate and Calcium Citrate.   There is something wrong when a doctor cannot help.  But, remember, doctors go to school to diagnose and prescribe medicines and drugs.  Most know very little about nutrition and diet.

     You might want to see a dietician to determine what is missing from your diet.

    
Wishing you the best
