I hope you can get answers for your mom soon. It is scary. I am a 54 soon to be 55 year old woman going through perimenopause/menopause with a 15 year old son (single parent). Over the last 8 years, I have gradually gotten worse but especially the last 6-9 months. I also have weakness, dizziness, brain fog, headaches, fatigue, difficulty walking/standing and cannot sit for too long due to pain. I am no longer able to work now and applying for disability hoping to be approved. This has all made me very depressed. What you describe about your mom’s symptoms all sounds neurological and issues with her central nervous system communicating to her peripheral nervous system which is affecting sensory and motor nerves. I have peripheral and small fiber neuropathy and currently going for updated EMGs of upper and lower limbs to check communication of peripheral nerves to my muscles. Has your mom had this testing done? Have they ruled out seizures and mini-strokes? Have they checked for cervical spine compression/flattening of spinal cord which would affect everything below the level?
