Im typing on my phone so bear with my typing. Where to start? I'm so exhausted. I literally feel fine when I'm not exhausted but I've had 3-5 hours of sleep most nights gor weeks. I get dizzy spells and my eyes feel heavy and swollen most of the time. I've had two kids in two years. My dd1 was a handful barely slept had reflux noise sensitivity and on and on. Her birth was a homebirth transfer to c section. We moved three times during my pregnancy with my son...coast to coast, driving. We have to move again the end of June as our current place is temp. My son was another homebirth attempt -a vbac with hospital transfer after crowning for six hours while I pushed. 10 lbs 9 oz and for eps, third degree tear, rectal, bladder and urethra prolapses that nearly come out of me... Now my son has reflux that rid not respond to drugs ...we'll let's say they didn't help my daughter and he has silent reflex does not usually throw ip but vomited profusely each time I gave him some. So we do slippery elm gruel, aloe Vera juice and probiotics. It dies control it somewhat after trying severe elimination diets with both kids for months and seeing osteopaths and naturopaths and peds. I have resigned myself to this. In short no "helpful" ideas for reflux etc. I have tried everything. I am so so so tired. The PTSD symptoms come back when I am this tired ...inability to sleep, hyper vigilance, sense of impending doom, panic attacks... No flash backs they went away mostly for good after I did emdr. I ask for help s lot and do have some here and there it gets me through. We are strapped from all. The moves Dh works 6 days per week till six or later though he does cook most meals and do lots of housework. I often have a babe that if he leans back in the slightest he screams a high pitched pain almost in human scre I often hold him most of the day my toddler ends up watching way too much tv. I need sleep, once that is dealt with maybe I ca. Address other things. Tot doesn't really nap. I do eat right take supps exercise well 3.4 km walk most days, yoga, Pilates I wanted to work out too but I'm way took swamped.
I've also needed melatonin to sleep most night since dd was born... Not do much physically but mentally to get ahead of the spinning mind and I have had do many legit reasons to have a busy mind but still. How do you cope? Without harming your health? My son is 4.5 months but dd didn't get much better until almost 2 she's 27 mo now
I have all the pod symptoms necessary for a diagnosis when I'm this tired. I cantvr en ask for advice properly. Please help I don't want to end up in the er
