My sister has been sick for months with unexplained weight loss, digestive issues, and no definitive diagnosis from a gastroenterologist despite scopes and CT scans. She had her gallbladder removed 5 years ago due to function issues, not stones. Does an Endocrinologist check the function of the pancreas, and what other tests might be relevant for her condition?

I have been suffering from psychogenic cervical dystonia for the last 4 months. My head turns to the right and quickly fixes in that position, and I can't keep it straight. I have no pain, and my MRI and other tests were clear. I was prescribed benzodiazepines and tried homeopathic treatments like Lycopodium 6x and Ignatia Amara 6x, but they didn't help. Could you offer any advice or alternative treatments?
