dying in front of our eyes

After a critical accident with a tram for the last two years my wife's son who lives in Lodz Poland has had a very seious illness caused by lymes desies ? we think.He works in forests.
this is a advanced form which no specialist doctor can seem to specifically identify to actually treat the underlying condition.
he is visabley dying in front of our eyes not able to eat nor at times talk properly.he has difficulty in breathing and his mental faculties are deteriorating. although still coherant at this point in time.
overall his body is not regenerating muscule tissue due to non assimulation of fluids and foods.with the resulting weakness in body and soul
Please Please can any body help.              14 june 2010

These are not the typical neurological symptoms caused by lyme, the common symptoms would be short term memory loss, depression, anxiety, headaches. These symptoms could be MS, creutzfeldt Jakob disease or another neurological disease. The patient should see a neurologist(s), if he already did, get another opinion. Sometimes it takes several doctors to find out the problem

I am very sorry to hear about your wife's son.  

Is it possible for him to see a new medical doctor (physician) in Poland or in the UK perhaps?

Given the serious nature of his condition, finding a new physician for an evaluation would seem to be a good step.

Whether this could be Lyme is difficult to say.  Lyme has different symptoms in different people, as you may know, and seeing an experienced physician would be my suggestion.

Wishing your family the best --
