They put him on meds and his physical abilities improved greatly. He died 2 years later, but thanks to Shands physical his last 2 years were not terrible. Go to Shands or Mayo clinic, do this for yourself, especially since you live alone. Good luck to you.
Problem sounds complicated enough that she may end up there, but I'd play it out locally first. If the answer becomes evident quickly, it will avoid a lot of unnecessary testing and travel
