My Wife Will Die If I Can't Find Someone to Help Her

Did your wife have Covid in 2020?
Has your wife seen a rheumatologist, endocrinologist, immunologist, cardiologist and hematologist? It would be good to get autoimmune testing, hormone and metabolic testing, viral testing, etc. to see what is going on systematically.
I would also suggest your wife having her cervical spine checked with a MRI to see if there is any structural compression of spinal cord/nerve roots contributing to her symptoms. She may also want to get an ultrasound of her neck to see if there are compressed or blocked blood vessels, thyroid nodules, etc.

You can try Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles; they have an amazing rheumatology dept and can connect you with other specialties; I have no idea if they take your insurance but you might qualify for free or reduced fees.
They also have clinical trials.
You can request a virtual appointment, too.
Best wishes to you both; your wife is fortunate to have you as an advocate.

I also meant to mention your wife may need to see if she has enlarged lymph nodes/nodules/growths in her neck, etc. If so, it would be good to get biopsies if any found.
