Doctors in mo have diagnosed my daughjter with ms. She is 27. No strokes , tingling, dizziness or anything like that. Only symptoms were an inability to keep food down.

She has lost 25% of here weight. She is being fed intraveneously and now has a fever adn complains that it feels like acid runnig through her veins from her upper chast adn shoulders to below here neck.

To my knowledge there was no mri done.

Any suggestions,please?

No Mri?
You have every reason to be out of your mind. Ms can affect the autonomic nervous system - digestion, breathing...But this one symptom is just not enough. People with ms often have mri's twice a year! I cannot imagine this being overlooked. A thorough neurological evaluation, including visual evoked potentials, lumbar puncture, etc. And the vital mri. You should investigate for the best neurological center and have her diagnosed and treated there. We have to grow and stand up effectively to doctors sometimes. No emotion. Calm resolution. Hospitals have special offices for patient's rights and info on what you can do as a parent. This is your baby!
