Never posted here before but desperate for some help or advice as seen paediatrician and Dr who say we're worrying about nothing...
Since she was 6 or 7 our daughter gets easily tired - one late night or in latter years, a sleepover, can finish her off for a week or more and she just can't cope with the tiredness that follows. She was on iron supplements for ages but Dr said there was no need as blood tests came back fine without them. Her peers are streets ahead of her in terms of awareness and independence and social activities purely because of her tiredness and 'switching off'. She is on the verge of losing friends as a result and I have to say no to so many activities for her because she's just wiped out half the time. She doesn't drink enough in the day and I appreciate this could be a big issue but I'm not there with her in school to force it down her! She has also started developing a little and I'm aware internal changes could be wearing her out but this has been going on for 4 years now and we're scared for her wellbeing especially with secondary school on the horizon in September...
Any help advice or similar experiences much appreciated. Thanks very much.
