When you mention eye problems, it's indicitive of a possible auto-immune disease. Have they done blood work to check for Lyme Disease or Lupus. Also, Scleroderma is another condition which has very funny side effects and is many times not caught. Have the doctors do a serum Lyme AB, Lupus Ab, Anticardiolipin AB, CRP, Rheumatoid Factor, and maybe a Homocysteine. These are all blood tests that may give answers. Keep her hydrated for now and plenty of rest. Also suggest an ultrasound of pelvic region in regards to obstruction.
