Thanks Jackie, I will have a look in to these sites.
I am sorry to hear of your wife's illness. No one here is medically trained, to my knowledge, so any advice we might give cannot be relied upon. If you are concerned that she may have what in the U.S. is called Lyme disease (caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, or Bb) or other tickborne diseases, you may wish to read information at the websites (listed below) to see if your wife's symptoms are similar. There are said to be several hundred strains of Bb, and there are several significant diseases carried by the same ticks as Lyme, but those may vary geographically as well.
ILADS [dot] org -- this website is for the group International Lyme and Associated Disease Society and is written primarily for medical personnel, but is very accessible to patients as well. Under the tab 'About Lyme' are several essays that you may find helpful.
The following websites are sponsored by patient groups and have different kinds of information:
lymediseaseassociation [dot] org

chroniclymedisease [dot] com

Best wishes to you and your family --
