I need help figuring out what is wrong and if anyone else is going thru the same things. First I will tell you that this past June I was DX with PCOS and the year before I was told I had a thyroid problem, chronic fatique, fibromyalgia and also have endometriosis and also think I have depression but who wouldn't with my problems. My main problems are that I have no energy and motivation second I think I have a pinched nerve in my back because i can hardly stand for a long period of time. 3rd I feel like a horrible mom because I don't play with my son enough because of the pain and no energy and I feel like I lost everything that I know about playing with kids and I was a Daycare teacher before I had him. I am at a loss and not sure what to do.
I am a stay at home mom so its not like i don't have the time. But most days I feel lost because there is so much running through my head. It is hard to explain because I don't know what is causing what. It has been so many years now since I have felt normal that I don't know what normal is.
So if there is anyone else out there experiencing anything similar please let me know. I am so confused. Know one else I know understands what I am going thru.

Have you been tested for Anemia? I am severly Anemic and it causes A LOT of fatigue!!! I also have bi-polar depression which also can cause chronic fatigue disorder, which I also have. As far as the nerve, you need to see a neurologist, you can either do exercises, physical therapy or if it's bad enough you might need surgery. I have a pinched sciatic nerve, but I'm dealing with it for the moment b/c the thought of surgery in the middle of college scares me.
Maybe if you see a Dr. and get on some iron and maybe some mood stabilizers it might help a little. It's hard with our kids to always be there for them when we aren't feeling up to par...I just think that maybe you should talk to a Dr....as scary as it sounds, it might do a lot of good! But don't be discouraged if you don't find the right one right away, I went through 3 before I found a miracle worker!! She has truly been my life saver!! just give it a shot!! pm me anytime!!

HI Thanks for the reply. I am going to have to talk to my DR. I just can't take much more of this. I just have to wait until my insurace kicks in. It is so nice to talk to other people with the same or similar problems. i just need to come on here more often.
Thank You Jennifer
