Please help with this health question

My wife has been very sick with an unknown ailment for years. We have been to dozens of doctors. She is subject to pneumonias and rashes, and her immune system seems to be compromised in some way because she is always very slow to recover from the slightest illness.

So why am I here?

Among the many things wrong with my wife's health is the fact that she cannot wear an electronic watch without causing it to stop.

(She also has difficulty turning on the car, which has an electronic ignition system.)

I am trying to connect the dots here. I would be very grateful for replies from watch experts who know of this condition. I'd like to put a name to it and try to figure out what's causing it. Perhaps this minor and non-harmful symptom is a clue to the bigger picture. If there's anyone out there who's ever heard of this, please let me know.

Thanks.

~BK
