Fatigue/long term side effects
Hi there everyone
Forum Discussion
I’d say “Snap” except for the 4 year old - I have twin 17 year old boys studying year 12 which brings its own set of issues .
Is it possible for your daughter to attend a little child care / family day care / kindergarten to allow you a some time to regroup ? Maybe family or friends might be able to step in occasionally if they are aware of the problem .It doesn’t make you a lesser parent by considering these options and would help your daughter make the transition to school.At the age of 4 she maybe aching for the company of others.There be another young mother locally whom you trust who might share child minding with you eg taking turns to go to Kindergym?
I remember how helpful Playschool and other ABC kids shows were around meal preparation times.
Also she might enjoy having a book read to her lying down on the bed cuddling with Mum .
We had the twins very late and would be asleep 5minutes after they were - it meant life moved past us for a while but survival was important as we had no family back up so we followed their sleep/waking patterns.
Not sure if the above helps but had 20 hours surgery March-May 2017, am now on Hormone therapy as am er+ and am noticing times of fatigue creeping in this year whether it’s the aftermath of last year’s surgeries , Radiotherapy or hormone therapy I don’t know.
I am told to listen to my body which must be harder in your circumstances.Glucodin helped me years ago as a student but nothing beats sleep.I would also suggest letting housework slide as it will still be there when you are less tired and also keeping meals very simple which may be easier with a young child.
Is your tiredness ness related to anxiety caused thru your diagnosis and treatment as your GP might be able to help.
Hope something above helps and wishing you the best XO
