In my opinion Rasmussen would've shown up on an EEG or Scan, as the episodes are lasting a while and the activity of the inflammation would probably have been detected, though it's not impossible. I don't see how this goes in line with the arthritis, the stress fracture indicates that the loss of function and pain should not be purely neurological, maybe there are 2 problems going on simultaneously.I feel that you're a bit lost with doctors who don't do anything. So I'll suggest things to do by yourself:start a detailed diary, try to recall everything, every doctor's visit, result, try and collect the imaging done, lab results. But also start recording symptoms like ataxia, seizures, pain, atrophy. Every day. Also note any environmental changes that might occur shortly before episodes. This should include nutrition, but also stress, long exposure to sun, noise, physical activity. Get videos if you can.buy urine test strips, check her urine when it's normal 2-3 times, then when it gets dark. Check for blood, proteins, sugar. If you can, contact urine when it's brown in a clean jar and have your doctor send it to lab.if you have access to it and feel comfortable, also check blood sugar in normal and episode conditions. Again, note it done carefullyconsider to get psychological evaluation and counselling. Not only are you going through a very difficult situation, you will also avoid people saying that's only behaviour, and you're not willing to accept it. I'm not saying it is, but by acknowledging it a possibility, you rule out one more thing.consider changes in nutrition. Observe if anything changes. Might work, might not. Changes may include protein level, fat level, sugar level, etc.Then, what to do while relying on doctors:I agree with getting a second MRI. One usually isn't enough. It needs 2 to notice changes.did you get a check of the peripheral nerve system? I'd ask the neuro to check that. If they don't call back, they're probably out of ideas. Hey a new one.Get a general ultrasound of the organs.get blood test of porphyrines in normal and episode conditions.get liver and kidney blood test in normal and episode conditionsreach out to get metabolic diseases checked, like fatty acid issues, glycogen issues. Try also getting genetical analysis. I don't know about your financial situation, if you're located in usa and they don't do those, consider a visit in a different country. We have a whole ward here for diagnosis. Try reaching out to mayo or Cleveland.consider reaching out to help groups for genetic or rare diseases. They often have valuable contacts and ideas. https://www.globalrarediseasecommission.com/Report/tracks/track-1.htmlI wish you all the best!
