Hi Tb12

Welcome to the community - I hope that you find it as helpful and knowledgeable as I have .

I think that Lara is right about Lyme Disease - whether it or other tick-borne diseases are found here is controversial but her links are certainly worth checking out.

You mentioned Kennedy's Disease. It is an X-linked recessive disorder. It might be worth finding out if any men on the mother's side of your family have been diagnosed with it.

If so, it is worth investigating. If not, I would not worry about it.

All the best.
