It looks like your sister has neurological issues mainly related to the nerves. Some of the symptoms are also suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis. I advice you the following 1. Please approach a neurologist for a MRI brain and further work up including nerve conduction study 2. You should also get blood tests like Vit B 12 levels, Thyroid function test, electrolytes,random blood sugar done as well
I hope I was of help
