Pelvic Pain, Vertigo, Lack of Concentration, Memory Loss, Fatigue, head aches

Good Evening Everyone.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions because the doctors don't seem to have any clue (they have actually told me so) and because since they don't seem to have any ideas they arn't running any tests.

I believe it started with lower abdominal pelvic pain (not cramping) feeling lilke it is originating where my pelvic bones attach at the front, the pain also went around my lower abdominal area across my belly button and into my back and then later went up to below my ribs.  No pressure points.  This was the worse symptoms at first and why I went to the doctors originally.  I then had a hard time concentrating and the day i decided to go to the ER I was having a hard time reading/writing an email (remembering what was said in each sentence and relating it to the previous or next sentence)  i was then prescribed PMS-Metrondazole and Novo-Norfloxacin and the pelvic pain decreased but did not go away, during this time my vertigo also lessoned.  when my medication ended the next day all of the symptoms having to do with my brain came back fast.  I started getting Extreme vertigo which I am now on medication for because I was finding it hard to keep my balance sometimes.  Before i started Novo-Betashistine I was also getting headaches for the whole day but they have stopped when i started taking the medication.  I also have fatigue (sleeping 8-12 hours a night).  I also have memory loss (finding I am forgetting things that you should remember in a day) and lack of concentration (finding it hard to comprehend the overal picture about topics).  Also, when my brain is feeling taxed I find that I get fairly light headed and have an extremely hard time concentrating  on the person that is talking (what they are saying) and I have a hard time thinking of a response to what they are saying and it is generally hard to look at the person.  

At the beginning I was emotionally fine,... but after a couple of weeks of feeling crappy and all the doctors that I visited told me they had no clue, and because I could no longer do the things that I enjoyed (planning and organizing, hanging out with people (had a hard time concentrating on the actual person) had a hard time doing my job (problem solving) I became uncomfortable driving because I found it was hard to focus on all the cars on the road.  Because i felt that I couldn't do the things that made me me I started getting depressed and upset.  Now for the past week and a bit i've started feeling more happier.  I've realized that even though i have a hard time doing all of the things that made me happy I can still be happier in other ways and I am still me (sorry if i sound sappy)  All of the doctors ruled out anxiety and depression.  I am a generally happy person who looks to the bright side of things.


So I am stuck for ideas.  My family doctor has decided that he has no clue and has decided that he will refer me to a new Neurologist.  He has decided that no blood work or other tests need to be run.

I have had an MRI come back normal
2 pelvic Ultra sounds come back normal
2 blood works come back normal
I had an EEG but don't know the results.

Anyone have any clue what i should be asking my doctor about?

A long shot, but is there anyone in your family with celiac disease?
