Concerned about nuerosyphilis and doctors do not believe me, what to do?

I was diagnosed syphilis on 1/4/18, given shot of bicilin.  The next day I was concerned about headaches I had been having and had CT scan (could that have diminished effects of treatment? Concerned I was not adiquilty treated I requested another shot, got that on 2/17/18. On 2/25/18 I had lumbar punture as my toes had started to feel numb. That came back negative. Was refered to ID doctor and she said no possible way I have nuerosyphilis but agreed to gove me 3 more shots of bicilan for anxiety. 4/6/18 After last shot I started to feel dizzy.  Since then my legs are getting worse. Nuerologist said I should go get second opinion as I have bilateral nueropathy. The referal for second oppinion was denied to first hospital. Second referal was denied because I had negative lp. I continue to have leg pain and numbness. Ringing in ears and hearing goes in and out. I am beyond scared. My doctor is sick of me and my legs are getting worse. My hearing and eye sight is declining. Please help.

Hi first of all how were you diagnosed with  syphilis? were the 2 tests performed? the first is to confirm antibodies and the second is to confirm active or to negate a false positive. Also did you have a chancre develop in your genital area? Since your recent tests show negative you dont have syphilis.
