Mum's Anxiety her whole life. It does affect your family

Hi, i need some advice if any of you could help me. I am convinced my mum has General Anxiety Disorder & health anxiety but she will NOT accept her symptoms are anxiety. I am 41 and ever since i can remember my mum has always been ill, from agoraphobia to allergies to just generally not feeling well. Every week she comes to my house with a symptom of some sort she has been diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia (muscle spasms in her neck) and normally this is her main topic of illness until every now and then other things start, She currently has aching bones and shakey all over last week it was her sinusis now she is convinced theres something wrong with her kidneys & today she had tenderness inside her ears and at the back of her head. I have mentioned GAD but she said this  it is NOT anxiety symptoms and she thinks knows the difference, she has a doctors appointment next week but she has been tested for absolutely everything i remember when her IBS was playing up we was up A&E constantly. She drinks probably two bottles of wine a night because she has no life, she dont go out much because most of the time she doesnt feel well or her Dystonia is playing up. To be honest im at my wits end with her, sometimes she admits shes depressed and we go Doctors and they refer her to somewhere which she'll  go to once maybe twice then either stops because she don't feel well enough to go or it doesnt work. But then she'll say im really trying to help myself. I just feel that if she got her anxiety sorted out all her other health problems will go as well and she could have a life. How can i convince her all her health problems are down to anxiety? Can anyone help 

thanks for listening
