Hello,
Your 15 year old daughter seem to be having varied symptoms. Does this have any relation with her menstrual cycle? Has she been using any medication recently? Has she had any accident or trauma recently? Is there any drug abuse like cocaine etc.?
The possible diagnosis is malabsorption syndrome, food allergy, encephalitis, intracranial tumors or fulminant hepatic failure. Few tests are necessary to arrive at a specific diagnosis are liver function tests, kidney function tests, CSF meaning cerebrospinal fluid analysis, complete urine examination and blood examination, peripheral smear and MRI brain and spinal cord. Please consult a neuro-physician and ask about the above mentioned diagnoses.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
