Any Suggestions For Hallucinations, Disorientation To Time, Place, Date, Sleepiness In A Person With Hashimoto's Disease & Migraines?

My 16 year old granddaughter has episodes of hallucinations, complete disorientation to time, place, date; followed by extreme sleepiness where she can sleep solidly for 8-12 hours. She has been to several neurologists who tell her it's all in her head & have done nothing to alleviate her symptoms-just seek mental health counseling. She has Hashimoto's disease & severe migraines (since age 3). She is about to graduate from High School & attend college, but cannot drive for fear of one of these episodes will cause a wreck. Any suggestions? I can be reached at YYYY@YYYY . Thank you. Sarah Wagoner-worried grandma

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

hashimoto thyroiditis cause weight gain, depression, mania, reactive hypoglycemia, constipation, migraines, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, menorrhagia, myxedematous psychosis, cramps, memory loss, vision problems, infertility and hair loss etc. In your daughter, these migraine and psychotic episodes are due to hashimoto's disease. In that case, consult a endocrinologist to control the illness, this would help to control the symptoms.

Thanks
