Unhappy I need your help!!! We've Exhausted Everything Physician Wise!!!

Hello,

Im gonna just get straight and to the point. Since 2005, my boyfriend danny has had bouts of dizziness. Since 2005, we have been to to the following doctor specialties and had the following tests: (I will name as many as I can remember...)

Cardiologist--everything was Normal
CAT scan--everything was normal
MRI--everything was normal
Dizziness Test (i dont remember the name of it)--not dizziness, but allergies
ENT Physician--said it was his allergies
30 day Heart Monitor--everything was normal
24 hour heart monitor--4.2 second heart pause--later determined by Cardiologist to lead to a 30 day holter (heart) monitor which everything was normal.....
Echocardiogram--everything was normal
EKG--everything was normal

the list could go on and on as I am sure I may have missed a few tests.....
--------------------------

Fast forward to NOW:

NEW set of symptoms:

facial numbness and tingliness ongoing since about Wednesday.

as of today: slight tingliness and numbness in fingers as well...

Special Note: this is on both sides, not one side such as a right or left side. NONE of this is accompanied by the classic stroke symptoms (paralysis of one side, slurred speech, etc...)

I took him to the dr again when he was first having the facial numbness a few months ago and the dr said it sounded like allergies. He prescribed claritin, singulair, and a nose spray....danny also takes vitamins (i think its flintstones or something of the sort....)

We have exhausted all physician options... and he still keeps having symptoms. The dr said that the next thing would be to get him to a neurologist. Ive been to a neurologist and from my experiences with them, theyll order an EEG, an MRI, maybe a CT scan, and say its a "seizure"...(they also say that eye twitching is a "seizure" but i know its not because eye twitching has a totally different diagnosis...etc...ive read it in medical journals.....)

NOW i turn to the psychic realm........I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I AM AT MY WITS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
