What can this be if not ms

Ok, this is long. My sister, who is suffering from cluster headaches, migraines, eye sight problems, multiple white lesions on brain, fatigue, weakness, leg pain, bladder and bowel problems, swallowing problems, back spasms, dizziness and balance problems.

She has no elevated proteins, no signs of autoimmune disease, no cancer cells, no nerve damage or muscle problems with nerve conductivity test, nothing showing after spinal tap, nothing on mri of spine.

All of the doctors start talking about anxiety which she takes zanax, she is on anti depression meds, anger and mood meds, high bloodpressure meds, high cholesterol meds, fluid pills, beta blockers. She had a heart attack in 2010. She is on several meds for her migraines. Nothing is helping.

We are so frustrated. Not sure what to do next. Should we try another neurologist, is there another doctor she should be seeing. Please is there something else?

I would try another neurologist. They specialize. Head ache doctors just focus on that. If you are worried about MS. Have her GP do a neurological exam if it is negative it is not neurological or MS. All her medications could be causing symptoms especially interacts.I might talk to the pharmacists about interacts. I am not saying get off them just understand side effects.
