teenager illness

I wonder if you could help, my teenage daughter has been ill for a period of time now , no energy to the point of not being able to walk, headaches, anxiety and depression,  yellow in the eyes, including coming out of school.  The doctors  said it was possible lymes (she is always round horses) but then its not and it was diagnosed as glandular fever,  After around 10 months my daughter seems a little better, and starting to join in in activitites  ..  She is still on the anti-depressants and still gets very tried but not quite aa bad as she was. She is also seeing a counsellor. We have now gone for a MRI scan on the brain ans results show some small scarring on the side of the brain.  She then had a second scan afew months later and the results showed the same scarring (although no change to the size etc)  Is this good news ?  After the second results we really have been told very little.........unsure of where we go next.  She appears a little better and a bit more enery but we are talking a year and a half , now getting home tutored after the really agressive symtoms (symptoms).  There has been some self diangnosis my other family members, including MS ,  and Adem .  My daughtre does not live with me and I am worried both of what is wrong, and wondering why nothing is being done ( and now hoping to  minimise the banded about words of MS and Adem to my daughter whihc must be worrying her.  Is no news good news?

Regards

Well, I think it's a good sign she is better after many months, so SOMEthing is being done that works.  Also, the MRI not changing is indeed a good sign, that's why they do two of them, to detect changes.  The yellowing of the eyes, however, points to jaundice from several possibilities, like kidney or gallbladder, which if she was diagnosed with glandular fever, that would explain it and also many of her other symptoms.  Many teenagers have a rough time with body changes, pressure at school, plus it sounds like parents living in two diff places.  I think the very best thing you and your family could do is be positive with her and talk about her favorite subject which sounds like horses, and assume she has glandular fever and typical teenage changes, and when she visits make sure she eats balanced meals since nutrition is important in growing young adults, and see can you get her interested in her creative side, like a few art or guitar classes.  I have a nephew who lives in another state, and we also get limited info on how he's doing as he gets older and more self-sufficient, so lack of communication is the nature of living elsewhere.
