my daughter

my daughter has been suffering from mucsle spams of the arms and sometimes legs for over a year, along with pain in the top left side of her head, she also finds it hard to sleep and is very tierd and sore as the twittching can be very violent at times. since she first became ill jan 2008 she also has had a rash on the upper part of her arm which becomes red and sore when the other symptoms become worse.She had many tests last june mri bloods etc but all came back as normal exsept the tyroid which was found to be under active.
She was a very acitve and well adusted young girl she is now 13 (14 in sept)
She did start to improve but over the last 3 weeks the twittching has got worse along with the headaces rash lack of sleep and memory fog.

I do not know what to do as our drs have said there is nothing more they will do, we was refered to a thyropist who feels she is fineand very well adusted and would like to sign her off as he feels there is nothing he can do for her.
She is not been able to attend school full time now since jan 2008.
Is there any thing you could advise me as to what it could be.
the last test was done june 2008 she only has her blood tested for the tyroid proplem.
They did say that it could be ME but they can not say what is causing the muclse twittching

yes they did and again nothing,That was a year ago.  But just b4 she got ill  there was a virus going around that everyone was calling a nurovirus, I have been told that a few people have suffered from pain in joints and headaches since, but the doctors just said it was a virus and because she was a teenager she reacted badly and they don't know what it is, I feel as though they really don't care and just have not bothered, after nearly a year and a half they are still not trying to get to the bottom of this and offer no help in getting her better.

When they did the tests on your daughter, did they do something called an EEG. This is where they hook little electrodes to her head and perform a serious of activities/tests to see how her brainwave activity reacts?
