42 year old female with multiple health issues

    I've been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of "patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan. Presented by : G.Preethi   Rollno : 51  Following is my analysis of this patient's problem: The problems in order of priority I found are  1) multiple health issues since Birth - jaundice,vomitings, insomnia, excessive hair growth all over the body,Chronic UTI Kidney infections Strep throat (doctor diagnosed) Lung infections Multiple sprained ankles and knees. 2)Severe headaches (since age 2). Became worse with menses(at 14) and while on BC (birth control - nuva ring) at age 32 caused migraine with aura. Seen for concerns of brain tumor- no scan done was told bloodwork looked great so no need. Potential sensory disorder-clothes felt unbearably uncomfort
