Im at the end of my tether both with dd and myself, Im recovering from tracheitis which I contracted after laryngitis a couple of weeks. My voice is shot to bits , as the infection is in my wind pipe and Ive read this illness is like an adult version of croup, as the cough is hideously nasty and painful. The gp who diagnosed it said it could last for weeks and theres nothing at all I can take.Ive barely slept or eaten. Ive lost 3lbs and Im 21wks pg.
Im having problems with dd who wont go to bed and then wakes at 6am,(but thats another thread altogether). My mums helped as much as she can,which has meant I can sleep, but the days at home when no ones here with dd are so long and diffcult when I can barely stay awake and have no energy at all. Last night was the 1st night I fell asleep straight away , but within the hour I was awake again coughing and coughing. Ive been ill like this on and off for weeks and weeks and weeks and Ive HAD ENOUGH, its making me very low and I cant stop blubbering. I just dont know what to do to help myself recover.Any ideas what I can have being preggy tp help my constitution , apart from homepathic remedies, as cant really pay for a practioner to check me out right now.

I also have the sorest cracked red nose from blowing and blowing as Im vvv badly blocked up. Anyone have any good creams I can use there,as its right at the nostrel , aveeno is stinging, and I assume savlon or germolene are no good near the nose or being pg?????
