No Explanation for "Aseptic Menigitis" with still debilitating symptoms?

Well here I am, 18 and my doctors are seemingly dismissing my peril. I have fallen ill with Aseptic menigitis in May of 2014 with a spinal tap, which was suspected lyme disease due to the seasons by my infectious disease guy. I first felt it in my lmyph nodes as a sore throat, then couldn't move and I was fatigued, vision was blurred, woke up after a couple days with pain behind my eyes and fever all over my body. I was rolled off to the hospital. And the charge nurse kept telling me it was viral over and over again like I had some false belief in my head even though my Jaw and mind was locked. I was sick and threw up for many days and extremely hostile. I had only a MRI and it was normal AFTER the fact I got menigitis. The weird thing is I had tested twice for Lyme, the Igm and Elisa test before the episode and was experiencing chronic Joint pain, vision problems and memory issues before for years on end since 11 and has only been getting worse, however I attribute it to a head injury possibly, which people couldnt figure it out. After the laboratory test came back negative, all of it, even the one lyme test  months after crawling out of the hospital, the doctor tested for epstein barr and told me I was fine, even though I was in pain, since all my MRIs were normal and blood cultures. I had only one wierd lever test and it was normal once tested again. I have a therapist and many physicians now saying I am a hypochondriac and trying to perscribe me anxiety medication, and unsupportive family and a doctor who keeps referring me to a nerologist and eye doctors who tell me I'm fine. I have tingling sensations, fatigue, joint popping, light sensitivity and ringing in my ears, joint locking and numbness, pain behind the eyes and migraines, as well as depression and social anxiety, I can describe it in generalization however due to my confusion in emotion as I need CBT. I try to take advil it doesnt work, infact it seems to make it worse and neither does topamax. My movement and coordiantion has been affected, I'm tired easily and cant remember street names especially or know how to drive or socialize anymore. I know things are getting worse and people are not even tuning in for what the patient has to say! They stare coldly at me and make money off of me, topamax, MRIs, EMGs, Anxiety medication, multiple hospitalizations and court, thanks for the help America, way to grow a supporting generation, the future. Why in such a position you ask? My doctors can never get my records and send me to specialist that have no clue, my nerologist asked me if I had a MRI, and I said yes, he never got that record and wants me now to get another. Whatever it is the symptoms are boundless and chronic, always in pain, agony and stupidity, perfect conditions for doctors to take advanatge of me. I nearly hit someone in the face with a backpack in English class for no reason, due to my stupor, making me angry. I had the following test: MRI, EMG, Neropsyche inocnclusive, blood panel, Thyroid test T4 and TSH, ESR, several lyme test, Catscan all normal.

I DID have Lyme disease at one point years ago, but alot of symptoms I'm having also relates to post concussion things, I have losse conective tissue and can make my head pop by pushing my hand against it and my jaw can crack and hurts when chewing, I'm always sleepy. I can't drive or get a job, everyone makes fun of me freely too, people in my personal life just laugh and call me "high" or "weird" or even in cases retarded while doctors cases just hit me with a stick and call me fine, it took way too much energy to even type this. I can't walk in a classroom without my head hurting or my ears ringing or jaw crackling or sweating. I know it's not just anxiety because I twitch for example even resting and my head can hurt undisturbed. I can sleep normal hours and still feel drugged and apparently look like it to! Infectious disease simply calls me the "mystery man" literally and yells at my mom, my GP tells me to come back later and see how I feel and nerologist says I had an imaginary MRI due to my records shuffling everywhere. I'm going to have my doctor investigated for malpractice, for not getting in the release forms on time I SWARE. Is there any leads to take or advice? Anything? They didn't even know if it was menigitis or encephalitis...

Exactly no explanation, atleast I'm right about that. My next question should be why is there a destitute of knowledge on this site?
