Has she had her thyroid tested??
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can develop slowly and can cause what sounds like is happening to your mother. The standard TSH test does not always show that there's a problem. T4 and T3, tryptase, TPOAb, TRAb, and TgAb tests will give the full picture. Getting the Dr. to order these tests is not an easy task though. Good luck!
