Do I need to get a grip? I feel like I'm dying...

Well, I don't feel that way all the time. But today I laid down and thought "I actually feel like my body is giving up on me"

I've arranged a GP appointment but can't see him until 2 weeks. Fine. I'll manage. At least I thought Sad

For the last two weeks I've been having significantly impactful headaches on my daily life, coupled with nausea and some vomiting. Some days these are migraines. Other days, they're intense pressure headaches. It feels like my head is going to split at times, it feels heavy and awful. Just the headache alone makes me feel sick.

Lastly, it's the intense physical fatigue. I feel extremely frustrated because I don't really want to just sleep or lay about. My mind is incredibly active. I just can't physically seem to manage it.

My joints are extremely tired. They're not sore as such. Just tired. It's like they're really weak. When it's really bad, I find that I can't even move my arms fast enough. This isn't very often thankfully, but today it happened and my DS of 8 months fell off the bed. Please no judgement, I'm aware it's far from ideal and I've put measures in place so it doesn't happen again.

I have no family support here (all working? apart from DH and he cannot take time off for any more days at all because of finances.

I just don't know what to do. I feel like I'm physically getting worse and worse.

What would you do?

I want to sit and cry and how pathetic my body has become (not in a mean way, it's just seriously useless lately).

Is your baby a bad sleeper?
I had symptoms very similar to yours when my dd was about 8 months old, I survived on ibuprofen and lying with dd on the sofa all day. She never slept for more than an hour at a time.
The GP told me my heart rate was way too fast and my blood pressure too low. I was producing far too much adrenaline because I was simply exhausted.
I feel a bit like this with hayfever too. And Sudafed helps immensely.
If Sudafed is helping it might be a sinus infection, I had a deviated septum and got a sinus infection that was there for a year before I had surgery. It felt like my head was filled with concrete and the headaches were crippling. Like lightening bolts going off in my head.
