Default Trying to find a disease to match a sx.

That's not what I'm tring to do but I thought it was a catching title! My sister is having a lot of problems with extreme fatigue, is now having a problem with dropping things, high B/P, extremely at times, Fibromyalgia and all the problems that go along with it. I was extremly alarmed when she told me about the dropping things. Her B/P is fairly under control but she has to take some pretty big doses of several meds to get it that way, including Valium 4 times a day. Two years ago she was in the hospital for a week in ICU because it was in the 240/120 range.

She now admits that she is close to abusing her night time meds so she can sleep. She has Flexeril, Ambien, Lunesta, Valium and Lortab. The Ambien is an old Rx. I approached her with the idea of possibly needing to talk to a psychologist because she said she internalizes everything. To get her to know that she really needs to get this checked out, I even told her that dropping things can be a sx of ALS.

Is there a web site where I can look at some of her sx for possible dx?
