Memory Loss and Muscle Weakness

Three weeks ago I noticed my daughter (age 38) could not remember anything from 10 or 15 minutes and kept asking the same questions - She seemed confused.   I took her to the hospital and they began running test.  After 2 days she was having difficulty standing so I had to help her stand and then she could walk -  after 4 days she could not stand or walk at all.     Her legs and arms both have some numbness, burning sensations, and pain.    The MRI scan shows no issues - they have run MRI, CatScan, EEG, EMG, Muscle Biospy, Spinal Tap,  all sorts of blood work and after three weeks have found nothing except some vitamin deficiency.   She still cannot walk and has confusion and short term memory -   Has anyone heard of anything like this.   Is it possible that is vitamin deficiency?    Any Ideas appreciated.

She could possibly have Lyme Disease. The symptoms seem like it could be and honestly doctors never think to test for it. I would demand a Lyme Disease test.  Keep in mind the testing is very inaccurate with Lyme disease. you might need to have several tests done.

Hang in there and good luck!
