Normal MRI, but having terrible symptoms of MS. What do I do now???

My name is Cindy. I had a MRI back in 1985, 30 yrs old, because of chronic fatigue,and weakness, but showed no leisons. So I have been living saying I have chronic fatigue syndrome. However my symptoms get so bad at times and do not really relate with CFS.
Now it is 23 years later and still have a clear MRI. My symptoms are:  / wanting to walk to the left side / slurred and studdering speech /  when leaning over to throw trash into garbage, I want to fall forward with it/ can't write with hand, like a hand and brain disconnection thing / really dizzy feeling, different then fainting, feeling more like I'm trying to go into a seizure/ grasping things is so hard, one weakness and other, hand and brain disconnection /  Many times I have accidentally thrown things because I can't control the grasp of my hand and it leaves my hand / Miss judge and hit things constantly breaking things, with or without things in my hands / can't hold it, urine that is, its not a muscle thing. It is like it just comes and no stopping it /  I have severe reactions when exposed to chemicals/perfume.
I either go totally paralized or feel like I'm going to go into a seizure. Very Very isolating!!!!
I was just sent to a Neuro Dr.,last month, April 08, but says NO MS, no leisons. What do I do now???? Too many years with this and getting worse???          Need a friend and doctor to talk to, PLEASE PLEASE!!!
       Thanks so much!!!             Cindy

I can relate to your frustration. i have had similiar symptoms and show no signs of lesions etc. Has your neuro offered any other explainations?? You have found a good group here. There are a lot of us "limbo landers" here. You will find great support and feedback. Hang in there, more answers will follow from other members.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Have you been checked for Lyme Disease? The symptoms can mimic MS. Beware, there are alot of false negatives with Lyme tests. If you haven't had one yet, make sure you get a test with a lab that specializes in Lyme testing.
