Canadian -Ontario looking for help

First time here. I’ve been going through some health issues since February. I’ve had spasms in my back for as long as I can remember since I was in high school and I’ve had three episodes since I was 14 of blurred vision/ loss of vision in one eye but they told me it was migraines. However in late February everything went to hell. I’ve had difficulty walking it’s staggered my legs feel like a million pounds of tingling and burning sensations like I’ve got pins and needles from sitting too long , hand tremors, I had blurred vision and temporary vision loss. My grandfather had MS and my family doctor started doing the investigation into what’s going on. The first neurologist I saw sent me running for the hills and the second tried to convince me I had stiff persons syndrome and had me pay for a fancy blood test not covered. No one will do a lumbar puncture. She suggested another mri of my mid back. I just want to get a lumbar puncture done for them to test the spinal fluid and so far im coming up short. Does anyone have any insights of what I can do??

Rachel, can you get yet another opinion from a different neurologist? Some neurologists are definitely more helpful than others!
