Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Memory And Immobility In Hand

A fifty year old female has many medical problems. Her problems began with a fast onset of paranoia, and memory loss two years ago. She has high cholesterol, and has had Thyroid problems, but the Thyroid problems have leveled out. She has been to MANY doctors. The last doctor she had seen was in Cleveland, Ohio. The doctor had diagnosed her with Thyroid - Hashimotos Thyroiditis, and Reflex Dystrophy Syndrome. She has loss seven years of her memory, and the doctors have said that she will probably never get it back; but with treatment, she could get to the point where she could start building new memories. She was treated with Introvaneous Steroids, and Thyroid medicine. She has shown much improvement with the paranoia, but little improvement with the memory loss. She still can't remember day to day, or even sometimes hour to hour events. She's in extreme pain from previous back surgery. Her right hand has become basically immobile since she started getting sick two years ago. She went from a very independent woman, to a woman having to be taken care of by her family because she can't remember to do things, and because of her physical impairments. We have exhausted our search for help, thinking that the doctors have missed something, somewhere. She is still not able to retain hardly any new memories. Her hand is still the same. Please, help us. We don't know where to go from here.
