My Mom is at UC Davis hospital right now and isn't doing so good. She has been diagnosed with Epilepsy now for 30 years. She has always been very active and coherent. But over the past 6 months has taken a dramatic turn. She has lost a tremendous amount of weight, shakes all the time, loss of muscle mass and can't communicate all to well. She was also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about 3 years ago. The doctors can't seem to figure out the problem. They say her Thyroid isn't working correctly, but I KNOW as well as she that there has to be more behind it. I'm REALLY scared, she's only 53 and my family can't understand how someone who's taking 2 mile walks a day can suddenly 6 months later not be able to get out of bed AT ALL! What do you think could be wrong? She has had numerous blood, urine, MRI's and catscans done. They still don't know!
