Thanks in advance.
Answer It is possible you have something wrong with the nerve system or with the vascular system (blood vessels) in the head, such as an infection or an inflammation. I note that one specialist you have not seen is a neurologist; I also note you have not had an MRI. It is my suggestion to see an experienced neurologist who would know what to look for, and would be able to order an MRI.
