No one knows what's wrong...

So I have a lengthy history of what's wrong with me and I'm hoping someone can chime in with some help. So I am an extremely active athletic person before this health problem I was never sick never got hurt had nothing to do with hospitals, now 24. in the summer of 2015 I began experiencing things totally out of the blue. I began getting sharp pain in my stomach and I started to get a lot of canker sores. I was working one day and my neck felt tight. My neck usually got tight every now and then because I played 10 years of football and had multiple concussions (7-8). So I went to the gym that night, I was a very active lifter and did shoulders (heavy military press). When I got home my neck stung so bad I was convinced I slipped a disc. That night my feet started tingling. Next day I went to the doctors they took X-rays and didn't see much but wanted an MRI. Got an MRI was told I had a very small stenosis in my neck and degenerative disc disease but that it wasn't affecting my spinal cord. I was told to just go neck excercises and to go to chiropractor. My neck pain went down but to this day I still have a tight neck on one side that gets very sore, like a dull pain. A couple months passed with the pain and I developed muscle muscle fasciculations all around my body. One moment it would be in my calves then it would be in my triceps then in my cheek etc. got worried went to doctors and was tested for Lyme came back negative. Doctor said they were benign and to not worry about it. Then a couple more months pass and i develop eye floaters in one eye and I develop really blurry vison but it would come and go. Went to eye doctor and was given glasses for distance. I also was told I had a stigmatizm in one eye. More time passes and develop a ringing in my ears which is still to this day pretty constant. My joints began to hurt standing killed my knees and if I decided to croutch my knees would be destroyed. I again put that with years of lifting and football. My vision was affected again now with the floaters in my left eye i also have clear circles and strings in my vision, I also get this little circles that I can see flying almost in formation in circles when I look at something light such as the sky. My foot began to feel weak so I was convinced I had ms with all the symptoms I was experiencing. My doctor pretty much told me I was crazy for thinking Ms but got tests done anyways all tests including MRI and neurological visit came back negative. I went on through out the summer with most of the same symptoms some would come and go. Then this past winter I started to get worse. I started to get testicle pain random sharp pains I began to wore because well who wouldn't. I started to develop floaters in my right eye as well so now I have them in both eyes. I started to get cold spots on my feet and legs but my legs were warm. I started to get the cold spots on my hands and forearms. My hands started to feel like they shakenvey slightlty. I developed this very tight feeling in my throat like my muscle in the front of my neck were like constricted. My lymph nodes began to blow up. So again i go to the doctors and she tells me it's my slavitory glands that are enlarged under my jaw and beneath my ears. I was in the midst of getting a law enforcement job so my doctor told me it was all stress and anxiety and she believes that I have health anxiety. Even though i expressed my concerns with ms she said that the symptoms are too symmetrical and that I need to stay off the internet. She scheduled me with a neurologist to test for nerve damage for the cold feeling. I also took the western blot because my joint pain got worse and i have cracks in my shoulder and knees whenever I move them. It came back positive band IGG 41. That is it. She said it was inconclusive of Lyme and that it meant I was just exposed to it at some point as I live in Massachusetts I am very suseptible. I know that I am not crazy because I know my body I have done sports my whole life, I know my body and I know when something is wrong.

Side note. I was tested as well for my thyroid which came back low so was tested again and came back fine.
