I have a 9 year daughter. These are her symptoms since January 2008. Started with hair loss (60%)week 1, then rash on legs and trunk (now face too)week 2, then weight gain, puffy face, lethargy, extreme behavior changes (week 3), and ended with her losing her ability to read, write or comprehend simple sentences week 6. She started to see new hair growth, weight loss and the return of her mind in March. Since then everytime we get a virus it usually is preceded by hairloss, puffy face, lethargy and a vacant or slow mind. It is still happening 1 - 2x's a month. We have done MRI, xrays, tons of blood work and are still working with no diagnosis. My biggest concern is her mind - how it can be sharp and then not working the next day. School is just around the corner and would love to figure this out!
Thanks for your help!
