@jen86 Your mother's condition sounds serious. But to me it doesn't sound like ME/CFS, which is what most people here have experience with. If the doctor she saw wasn't helpful, she should try another doctor.

If vitamin tablets are causing problems, perhaps she should not be taking them. Healthy foods are probably a better idea unless you have evidence of a deficiency.

Sorry I can't help. Good on you for being concerned about your mother and good luck.
