A case of 42 year old female with multiple health events since birth

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.

You can find the entire real patient clinical problem in this link herehttps://classworkdecjan.blogspot.com/2019/05/42-f-with-severe-regular-edema-with_17.html?m=1

Following is my analysis of the patients problems:

The problems in order of priority I found are
1) neonatal jaundice causing Kernicterus spectrum disorder: leading to hearing defect causing delayed speech and generalized weakness might be due to hypotonia,raised ICT signs : anterior fontanelle bulge
Treatment options : cognitive behavioral therapy

2) G6PD deficiency: neonatal jaundice,easy fatigability, repeated infections 
Investigation: qualitative assessment of the enzymatic activity
Treatment: avoidance of triggers 

3)AMPD1 deficiency: muscle weakness investigations : whole body genome sequence
Treatment D ribose 

4) Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: due to cortisol deficiency: unable to withstand stress, pigmentation , muscle weakness
Due to mineralocorticoid deficiency: salt craving,edema 
Due to androgen excess: hirustism

5) Hemiplegic migraine with opthalmic symptoms: treatment: sumatriptan and nasal spray of DHE and butarphanol

6) frequent infections due to steroids usage for Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

7)PCOD : abortion and ectopic pregnancy
Treatment: low dose OCP's
