Weakness also comes from damage due to Wegs in the joints and muscles. And it can also come from antibiotics to treat infections along with Wegs and of course the immune suppressants to treat the Wegs itself. Prednisone also causes weakness and also suppresses the immune system.
The pain can come from infections, active Wegs causing inflamation, especially in the joints.
Muscle loss is caused by Wegs and Prednisone and some infections as well.
Wegs attacks the auditory nerve and a lot of time with active Wegs there is an infection as well and if the infection is in the middle ear it can cause fluid in the ear and cause conductive hearing loss. Wegs can also damage the bones in the middle ear and the cochlea.
I hope this helps you some but only a Wegs specialist can truely due your daughter justice.
