After having my second baby I started to feel different. My energy never felt the same and I never felt 100-percent healthy. I started to realise making plans with people was really hard because I would never know how I would feel that day. I sometimes walk into a building and go all light headed and weak. I must admit it started to make me feel scared of feeling nauseous in public.every time it happened I started to think oh no I don't want to feel poorly when I'm out. I spoke to the doctor a couple of times about it and they told me I sounded anxious. They gave me a CBT card and told me to see if I could use that support online to help myself feel better. I didn't really feel at the time that I was anxious or stressed about anything so I was a bit confused where this anxiety was coming from. I had been having heavy periods since my son was born so I went to look at going on the pill and told my doctor that I constantly felt weak and had heavy periods. She said will take some bloods and it turned out that for a year and a half I had no iron reserves. the reason I felt so weak and sick and tired and drained was because they were right down to 6. she told me that they needed to be between 20 and 120 and she put me on ferrous sulphate to build my levels back up. She gave me trans amic acid and I didn't feel that did anything. I requested a scan and the doctor sent me for a scan last week. I had no fibroids no cysts and no signs of any problems. I did a home HPV test kit and that came back negative for any strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer. I basically had a really bad period 10 days ago. for the whole of a day I was literally in and out the shower and leaking through loads of clothes. I started to notice my palpitations were back and my chest was feeling awful and weak. I feel like my head is tipped upside down with a feeling of blood rushing to it even though I'm sat up. It's like a pressure in my head and I just feel sickly and awful really.
My partner is done quite a few school runs the last couple of weeks which is really frustrating because I actually enjoy doing them but I am just so drained. I had to do the school run today because he's working away and it was a struggle. I'm currently sat at home with no energy just managed to eat a sandwich and I'm just sitting down waiting to go back out and collect my child from school. I'm absolutely terrified I'm going to go downhill in the next couple of hours. is definitely making me feel anxious on top of feeling weak because I'm not really sure who I can ask to help me out. Basically I just feel like this is my life now there's no reason behind my bad periods and the doctor's just give you iron pills and send you on your way. I just feel like it's got to be a way to get my energy levels to a normal standard again so I can be a proper parent. nothing scares me more than having two little people needing me when I'm feeling so weak.
has anyone got anything in kuragin to say I'm practically sat here in tears feeling completely out of control of my own body.I couldn't even sleep properly last night because I knew that I had to do the school runs today and I was just so worried my body would fail me. my mood feels really low today because of the way I'm feeling really I was happy last week and right now I just feel really gloomy.
