IT sounds like a nuerological disorder. It could also be caused by a virus like mono which causes weakness. Just keep going to different doctors. It is possible that you may be able to be trated symptomatically to provide you with some relief until the issue is clearer. Good luck.

This is not something anybody here can diagnose for you. You need to keep pursuing this with your doctor. If your doctor is not giving you answers, find a new doctor and keep pushing until they come up with a diagnosis. Make sure you tell your doctor the truth about anything they ask you (sexual history, medications you are on, any illicit drugs you may have taken, etc.). And don't give up! Find a doctor who will listen to you and take your concerns seriously. Good luck!

You need to go back again to the doctors, even if it means you go every day. Drive them crazy, you know there's something terrible wrong with you and you know your body best. They should do all available blood scanning, etc. if it means you have to see another doctor, then go.
Happened to me, it took them 10 months to figure out what's wrong with me. I went to the doc, three times a week, I think in the end he just showed me off to another specialist because he couldn't take the sight of me anymore.and he did the right diagnosis. Be persistent, Doctor's are not infallible.
Good Luck to you.

You sound as if you are having an electrolyte imbalance. Are you drinking a real lot of water or fluids? Are you taking a lot of laxatives to lose weight or are you vomiting a lot?
Drinking water is fine, but when you over do it (yes, you can drink too much water), you flush out too much salt and potassium out of your body. Excessive use of laxatives and vomiting will rob your body of salt and potassium as well. Because your cells actually exist in a soup of salt water that nerve signals travel across, any change in that perfectly balanced solution will cause symptoms much like you describe. If left too long it can cause you to go into cardiac arrest.
Should you find yourself in the same situation again, ask them to check your electrolyte balance, potassium and salt levels.

It almost sounds like a mild seizure.
I had a friend that had bad seizures, and they doctors could find nothing wrong with her. Like you, they just started one day, without any provocation.
Ask your doctor how likely this would be. Maybe they need to perform an EEG, too.

You can not expect a diagnosis here, One of the Physicians that has done the tests that you mentioned above should be able to direct you to a specialist, if he is not able to find anything. Go back and ask him who you should see, about these symptoms.
