Does this sound like MS?

I'm a 29 year old female and I've been dealing with issues for a few years now. To name a few:
chronic migraines
no headache free moments
numbness and tingling in extremities
brain fog
fatigue
dizziness
pain in left side of body (to the point of limping sometimes)
sense of blurriness in left eye, but my eye doctor says it doesn't exist
I've had multiple brain scans (and one spinal scan) that shows an unchanging lesion in my right temporal lobe. I'm told it is likely from a childhood injury I had. My spinal scan came back clear.
I had a lumbar puncture done a year and a half ago that showed 5 positive oglioclonal bands, but no elevation in protein levels.
I went to an MS specialist who thinks the o-bands could have been a fluke, but we haven't done another lumbar puncture to see if this is the case.
I'm feeling a little lost. I don't know who I should see or what the problem might be.
