Drained

[alejorge]

I have been feeling so run down lately. I have absolutely no energy and my eyes are always burning. The baby sleeps really good. He goes down around 8:30pm and gets up at about 5:00am or so and I feed him and he goes back to sleep and doesn't get up till about 9:00am and I am still just soo tired. I have to force myself to get out of bed every morning. Why am I like this?

Could you be pregnant?

[alejorge]

I don't think so. Last pregnacy test i took was about a week or so ago and it was negative.

What about having your blood checked for thyroid function and anemia.

[alejorge]

i guess i could see about getting that done

[debbie_page]

I think it would be wise. I want to feel more energized!

[alejorge]

Thank you. I will call and check to see if i still have medicaid and see about calling a doctor. Thank you again for the advice.

[debbie_page]

You're welcome!

Well I guess going to the doctor is out of the question. I just found out that I have to put my fiance on child support in order to get my medicaid back. This is ridiculous. Maybe I can find clinic that goes on a sliding scale since I don't work maybe it won't be to expensive.

What about exercise? And eating foods high in iron?

[alejorge]

It is soo hard to eat right and exercise with my kids. i know it sounds like an excuse but i don't have much help with the kids and we are on a limited income so buying food is pretty hard to do right now.

Can you and the kids go for walks together? Beans, rice and dark green leafy vegetables are great and cheap! My kids and I lived off those for years.
