Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
I read carefully your question and would agree with you on the fact that there are some treatment symptomatic options to her actual therapy.
First, I would recommend checking her hormone levels (
cortisol plasma levels,
thyroid hormone levels, fasting
glucose, HbA1C, blood electrolytes, etc.) to check for any possible metabolic disorders.
It is also necessary consulting with a dietitian and make some changes to her diet in order to make her loose some pounds.
Physical activity can help improve her situation. But as she suffers from gait disorders, I would recommend swimming as a possible activity, as
aerobics is not easy in her situation.
Consulting with a
psychiatrist is necessary too. An antidepressant can help improve her mental situation.
I remain at your disposal for any further questions, whenever you need!
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best regards!
