DS has been a bit unwell lately and had a cold that seemed to go on forever and a god awful cough. I kept taking him to the docs only to be told that 'his tonsils are enlarged and his throat is sore, but theres nothing I can do'..three visits later and I'd had enough. Changed doctors and first visit two days after the useless doctor 'he has a chest infection and tonsilitis, I'll prescribe some antibiotics'. Thank god! Someone has seen sense and finally treated him. DS is now on the mend and had his first cough free night last night (yay). However I now can't seem to shake off the feeling that if a doctor has missed this twice and a nurse, what else could they have missed? I finding it all a bit hard to fathom really. I can't seem to realx now, every time DS looks a bit flushed or has the slightest squeak about anything I'm panicking like mad and struggle to hold back the tears. I'm so worried that in future something could be wrong and it would be missed by the doctor..I can't eat (not eaten breakfast or lunch for a while now and never bother with dinner, I don't sleep well..I'm not drinking enough. I'm in bed usually at 7-30 just so I can hear DS in the next room and go in and check on him often. Only one cup of coffee and a small glass of water today. I just can't relax at all and I'm worried I'm stressing out DS and I know I'm stressing out DH. DH seems to think everythings fine all the time and doesn't understand why I worry all the time. I never used to be like this but now I can't shake it off. I'm getting to the point now where I don't want to leave the house or take DS anywhere incase he picks up something else. I know this is stupid and I musn't act on it but I can't help myself. I have this desire to wrap him up in cotton wool and keep him safe from everybody and everything that could hurt him or make him ill. I know to a certain extent I can't do this and musn't do this but I'm really struggling..anyone else every felt the same??
