Could Lyme Disease Cause Extreme Fatigue?
My 80-year-old father, who is normally a go-getter, suffers from 1-3 daily attacks of extreme fatigue, a feeling of hopelessness and "hot eyes." He must sit quietly until the attacks pass. Sometimes he is too exhausted to stand. Last year, he was treated for Lyme disease. Could the two be linked or is there another possibility?
