Strange symptoms, any ideas?

[musiclady]

My daughter has been having various problems lately. She previously had epilepsy but a visit to her neurologist rules out that cause this time. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas we could look up. Neurologist said, it's not epilepsy and gave no suggestions on what to do. apparently she is just supposed to live with it.

Symptoms vary in length, strength, and frequency.

heightened nerve reactions - feels physical pain if someone lightly touches her.
Episodes of seizure like activity - repetitive arm movements, glassy eyes, no speech control - lasts about an hour.

Feeling of things crawling on or in her.

Has felt body go numb and feeling of face falling off.

Intense pain in joints.

Nightmares

Burning feeling in hands and feet

Insomnia

Symptoms get worse, building, then she has an hour long episode, and everything gets better, then starts building again.

Any ideas?

Strep, Psychiatric Symptoms Possibly Linked in Some Children

I saw a story about this on the news the other day. Iwas amazed at the number of misdiagnosis of conditions like Turets, OCD, etc. that were actually illness due to strep. It's a long shot, but is worth looking into. Good Luck!

Has she been tested for Lymes?

Definately get her in to see a doctor that deals with lyme. They sound like many of the symptoms people with lyme are reporting. Some of the symptoms also sound like they could be from a co-infection. You might want to check out the mdjunction.com section on lyme facts. It may help you decide what to do.
I hope you get answers soon.

Why are you asking strange people on the internet to diagnose your daughter?

Take her to a Dr., for goodness sake.

We've moved to Ohio and Drs here refuse to test Lyme. They tell me if she has had any antibiotics since we moved (true) that that would have cure Lymes. She was bitten many times while in MD but never had any problems then.
