Don't even recognize my life anymore

I am new to this site and so glad to have found it. I have been going to doctor after doctor and even neurologist and had an MRI, which was clear, and every blood test and other test they have done had come back normal. But I don't even recognize my life anymore. 2 years ago I was a healthy happy working 36 year old who worked out 6 days a week and was considered a health nut by all my friends and family.
It all started when I started getting dizzy and losing my balance and joint pain at work. The pain kept getting worse for six months and moved to my muscles in my legs and hips. I thought I just needed to go to a chiropractor, but that never helped. I started getting really bad with my memory and confusion. I had periods of time where I couldn't ever get words out. The pain in my legs generally has gotten worse over the last year and a half, winter was really bad, spring was ok, but now the heat is really bad too. My vision in one eye has been getting really blurry, I have constant bowel trouble, my bladder can't hold urine very long, and I have completely lost my sex drive. I seem to have lost the reflexes in my left leg too, which was new to me till the doctor tried to find them. All these symptoms have started in the last 2 years and have changed my life completely.
The pain gets so bad I am in tears and can't even hold myself up many days. But several doctors have tried to tell me there is nothing wrong. I feel like I am going crazy. This is real!
P.S. My sister has diagnosed MS
