Only one case of a severe form of Lyme disease, a bacterial infection which can be spread to humans by infected ticks, was reported in Galway last year, according to figures released by the HSE. This was the first case to have been reported in the county for four years.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME): Anyone suffering from ME would have wide ranging symptoms and severity. The most common symptom is overwhelming exhaustion or fatigue after doing things which did not make you feel tired before. Other symptoms can include flu-like symptoms, swollen glands, and painful joints. It is a difficult condition to diagnose.

A screening of a documentary about ME/chronic fatigue syndrome next month will give the public a glimpse into the reality of life with this debilitating illness, according to the co-ordinator of the Galway ME Support Group.
