Hi mermaid! Just a couple of thoughts.First have you been tested for food allergies AND /OR enviromental exposures (may be surprised) secondly you had an MRI,what about blood testing for ALL auto immune diseases (cidp,mmn,guillen barre etc...) also a lumbar punture might need to be explored!Theres alot of neurological info in the spinal fluid! Hope that helps a little bit!!
