Following is my analysis of this patients problem:

when she was born she had jaundice which was the suspicion of hemolysis at birth. Associated with some congenital defects suspecting G6PD deficiency because of:
1) sleeplessness which might have occurred because of lack of glycine- improved on taking serine which is a precursor of glycine
2) exacerbation symptoms after consumption of fava beans (Favism)
3) antimalarial drugs causing hemolysis
produced NADPH general logical symptoms because of increased oxidative stress or because of excess baravin is found in G6PD deficiency.
She was prone to infections throughout her life.

The muscle dysfunction which developed later in life might be due to AMPD1 deficiency- ribose has changed her daily ability to function.
Disturbances maybe because of AMPD1 deficiency also
kidney needs lots of energy for ions active transport and has water balance in body and age salt as when you might be losing them heavily- must have caused abdominal distention (Edema)
