Hi.... I understand your concern. This is not related to her seizure disorder or tegritol or the anaemia.

This could as well be a simple viral illness causing myositis or inflammation of the muscle.

But if limp is progressing to weakness which increasing in nature, I suggest that you take her to the nearest Emergency Room to get her evaluated neurologically.
