Anyone know anything that can help?

So, around this time last year I experienced tingling in my left hand that lasted for a few days, coupled with extreme fatigue. Days later, I developed nystagmus only upon waking that lasted for about 10 minutes or so. That eventually went away after about a month. About six months later I had a severe headache that migrated to my right eye and lasted for over a week. Went to an optometrist, no optic neuritis. Soon afterwards I started to develop double vision (intermittent) and strabismus, which was diagnosed by an ophthalmologist. I got an MRI, nothing remarkable. The double vision went away, but I still have mild strabismus. I've been to several specialists; half say nothing is wrong and that there is no pathology, while the other half say something's going on. They usually bring up MS. I decided to stop pursuing a diagnosis at the time, trying to accept that there was no pathology, but the other day I was sitting down at work (had not gotten up or sat down recently), and experienced aura and severe tunnel vision (as in, I felt like I was being sucked back inside myself because everything around me was black), and almost lost consciousness. This might sound extreme, but I would imagine that was what dying feels like, minus the pain. I had no headache and no pain, and the entire thing lasted for about a minute. After that I was fine. I've also been experiencing bouts of dizziness and extreme nausea that's worse in the morning (almost puked several times). I'm not pregnant either, so that doesn't explain anything. Does anyone know whom I should talk to? Is there something wrong with me, or should I just ignore what's going on because my tests come back normal? By the way, I also have severe fatigue at times, worse in the late afternoon, that sometimes makes me slur my speech. My eyelids sometimes droop and I have problems speaking clearly.

PS -- I am not anxious or depressed. I work a lot and go to school, but I manage it well. I love my jobs, I have great friends, and I'm in a happy, healthy relationship. So I'm not stressed either.

I had an MRI, which was negative. But I know that doesn't necessarily rule MS out completely.

Have you been tested for MS? My sister in law experienced similar symptoms before being diagnosed.
