Looking for answers...

Hi, my name is Tamara and I am a 29 year old mother and wife. I am writing b/c lately I have been experiencing some weird symptoms. I've been to MANY doctors in all different fields and still no answers. I have been doing a lot of research and MS is the only thing that really seems to make sense to me. Here is my story (a little personal)...
From the time I was about 15 I noticed that I had excessive tingling in my vagina. I went numerous times over the years to my GYNO to be tested for every STD known. My results were always negative and my pap smears were never abnormal. I just sucked it up and dealt with this annoying symptom. It could go on for 3 months at a time, 6 months at a time... or I could go 6 months without experiencing it. Nothing else really came up that I can think of besides the tingling in that area.
About a year ago I woke up with pain in my left eye and weird sensations on that side of my face. Almost like it's numb, but not quite. I know I'm probably not making much sense. I let it go on for months before seeking a doctor, only to be told I have very prominent eyes and it could be pushing on my lacrimal gland, causing irritation. I even had a orbital cat scan done to look for tumors, nothing. I do have very large eyes so I guess it made sense to me. Than the twitching and blurry vision started (sometimes a little bloodshot). I was at my sons basketball game last month and I couldn't even make out his face. He was no more than 15 feet away. Months after this I started getting weird sensations where my uterus is. I can only describe it as feeling like my organs are vibrating. I also noticed tingling in my lower back. Very excessive. Now every time I switch positions in bed or sit forward I get this tinging sensation that runs from my privates to my lower back. I also get the occasional tingling in my upper back and nose but not as frequent as I do in my privates and lower back. My privates have those sensations daily. My thoughts can be jumbled and many times I have to pause b/c I'm not quite sure how to express myself.
I don't know if any of this matter but thought I would add this in. I also have Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome (Which is a disease of the endocrine not the ovaries), IBS, PTSD, OCD, very bad anxiety. All of these have been diagnosed. I also wonder if I have Fibromyalgia. I'm in constant pain. Sometimes I feel like my flesh is burning. My doctor last mentioned that she wanted me to come in to test for Lupus. They have me going in circles so I just gave up with all doctors.
I just want answers and I'm not getting the help I am so desperately seeking. Thanks for reading!
