Has she been seen by a neuromuscular specialist? I would search for the best in your area or travel to another state if needed for evaluation.

Based on what you described the patient probably has a Limb Girdle Dystrophy-LGMD. This is resulting in muscle wasting and weakness. A good protein would be either bone broth, Glutamine, or Creatine. These are some of the best proteins for muscle wasting. Other therapies like regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies should be considered. Multi nutrient tablets with high doses of minerals and antioxidants would be extremely useful.
