I have been experiencing shortness of breath and numbing feelings in both of my legs for the past 3 to 4 years. I have gone to countless doctors and specialist and they have not found any biological problem. At this point I don't know what to do or who to talk to anymore. I experience these symptoms daily some days are worse than others, I have changed my diet completely to organic food and no sodas or artificial foods. I would just like to speak to someone that could advise me and who may understand my tremendous struggle with these symptoms. thank you

That is very odd for sure, for no one to find it at all.
There are two things I can think of:
1) Have you talked to a therapist or doc about your "i feel stressed" kind of feelings?
and
2) Have they checked for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Mer, I'm not a medical doctor so anything I suggest is just an opinion.
Have you tried an allergist? I think changing your diet was a wise thing to do, but there may still be something in your life that is causing these types of reactions.(Doesn't have to be food, could be inhalants or even soaps etc.)
Have you been to a neurologist to rule out MS? I suppose you have had diabetes ruled out already. What about a physical therapist? Sometimes having a small joint out of place, pressing on a nerve, can cause numbness and tingling. A physical therapist can rule this out, or help you with it, and could have a good resource to continue to look for help.
Good wishes with this
