Encephalitis or meningitis should be considered. A sample of CSF may be sent for studies If persists discuss with Neurology and vascular causes may be ruled out. Monitor BP and watch for signs of chest pain, dehydration and weakness. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.

Your symptoms could be caused by many things. The fact that steroids helped suggests inflammation. However, with these unremitting symptoms you should go back to your doctor for further evaluation and testing
