I am so sorry to hear about her treatment to this point.
She needs to be evaluated by a neurologist as soon as possible and at the very least needs a MRI if her brain and an EEG. She may also need spinal x -rays or an MRI of her spine. Her symptoms are suspicious for a tumor of some sort or a blockage in her cerebral spinal fluid flow. I am very concerned and recommend a neurology evaluation As soon as possible!
I understand that she has no insurance and that this is very expensive. Here are some options:
1) If you can at least come up with the cash for the neurological evaluation and get the presciptions for the MRI and the EEG, you can then schedule an appointment for the tests at your local hospital and request to be billed and set up on a payment plan. Most hospitals will do this. They also will charge less for "self-pay" patients.
2) Once the neurologist evaluates her, he will HAVE to order these tests which she so clearly needs!
3) Take a list to your neurologist with all of her symptoms broken down:
***headache with vomiting
***back pain and lower abdominal pain
***limp
*** tremors
***"swimmy feeling in head" and one car accident that may indicates seizure or loss of consciousness
***history of seizures
***feeling tired
Seeing these symptoms, there is NO WAY that a neurologist will not order a full neurological work-up with all the tests she needs.
She is very lucky to have you on her side. Please seek help as soon as possible and let me know how it works out!
Please feel free to ask any follow-up questions or to request more information.
