Title: Feel the need to babble
Post by taraann on Aug 16^th, 2003, 7:25pm

I am having a really very tough time lately with CH, I've sat on my ass in between CH's as much as possible and that has GOT to stop. I finally made a new appt with my doc REGARDLESS that my insurance is still screwed up (waitng to hear the results ... if I got it back or not). I hear alot of you saying the doc gives you samples and such so I am hoping that is just what he will do. My appt is Monday afternoon, this is a semi new doc for me (he's our family doc and my kids have been seeing him) but he is a really great/down to earth guy so I am thinking if I go in there with info and suggestions from here he will be open minded.

I am just soo tired of being tired and in pain. I am getting almost zero sleep, my kids are in a phase of not falling asleep until well after midnight and that is about when I get hit really hard so I don't get to sleepunitl around 5 am....then my day begins around 7 or 8.....feed kids, change them, CH hit, play with kids, CH, nap for daughter, time with son, CH, draggin ass by this time, daughter is up, lunch time, CH, outside time, hubby and bro get home, start dinner, CH (bad hit around dinner time) it goes on from there...I am getting hit so many times a day and they last almost 3 hrs almost every time

SO NO MORE trying to tough it out with friggin staydol that I'm afraid to take more than 2 days in a row for fear of addiction and friggin freezing my head with ice.....

alright this really turned into a novel like rant and I'm not sure I even made much sense or should even post it ...... but I'm gonna anyways cause I know you all understand.........thanks for reading this far thats quite an accomplishment :o

Your changing diapers on kids that go to sleep after midnight?

Thats your sleep problem, any kid that needs changing should be in bed at 7-8 pm

Thats fucked up in my book!!!

I am really bummed out that you are having such a hard time of it right now. You have been such a jewel to the rest of us! I so enjoy reading your comments and rays of hope for the rest of us.

I know just where you are, to a point. I am having a tough time now too, but I do not have the young'uns and spouse to have to deal with too.

I have read what you have said to others. Now hear it from me: Hang in there! You are strong! You can beat this bastard back into his cage!

My prayers and good vibes are aimed at you. Hang in there.

Chuck

I aint here to judge but if my kid was in the changing stage that kid would not be up after midnight.

Just my opinion

Johnny have you ever cared for toddlers? If so then you would know they go through phases.... My kids are in there rooms after 830 pm NOT running around but when they have been crying I keep going in there to calm them after awhile....I will not go to sleep myself until I know they are asleep and my son won't be wandering the house alone. AND every child is different and goes through different phases of sleep difficulties, behavioral stuff, etc etc....

Tara I dont think jonny is judging your parenting skills... You really need some help and lets face it when a woman has a headache she is supposed to suck it up according to alot of MEN folk...(Not you Clark you are golden in my book) When Dave gets a headache or a CH attack... the whole house stops everyone is intent to help. He can suffer how ever he chooses... Usually with alot of support. When MOM (Ree) gets a Migraine its like screw you mom go on with your life you still have to make the beds, do the laundry,
drive the kids in the car pool make sure there is food in the pantry etc etc etc... Men go to work... works over. Women go to work, come home to more work... end of story.

Close your eyes all SUFFERERS men and women alike... your in the midst of a cycle... and your bringing up little tiny kids that have recently had chicken pox... need baths... need decent meals... No one should expect this family to be running on a normal schedule without help... Get some help Taraann... my heart hurts for you honey....love to you Ree

THank you so much Ree, I appreciate your post very much........

Johnny I am just so oversensitive from lack of sleep, you are NOT the first I've snapped at today. I will try to keep my "mother bear" in her cage. I am not usually this thin skinned at all....I was just caught off guard at having a comment towards parenting....
