Thanks everyone for the input, and thanks Cowgirl for your prayers, that means A TON!

I guess what's frustrating is that this is the 3rd Dr. she's been to. The first (HMO Dr. of course) said it was just the after effects of childbirth. We now have a wonderful 2 year old boy running around. Her 2nd Dr. did some bloodtests and told her everything looked normal. Well, then why was she feeling like poop!

We finally self diagnosed her as being hypoglycemic and went to the Dr. #3 explaining all the symptoms, and the homeopathic treatment/special diet she was on w/o any improvement. To our relief, the Dr. was doubtful of the hypoglycemia and ran some additional tests. So, we are at ease that Dr. #3 is actually concerned as opposed to the "oh just take this prescription" philosophy so prevalent these days.

The Dr. wants to perform additional blood tests next week and a follow-up in 2 weeks. It's just driving her crazy, it's a struggle for her to get up in the mornings, and by the end of the day she's whooped. I get home and she goes to bed! Our little guy, is too young to understand that Mommy can't keep up with him and that's been really hard on her!

I help as much as I can, but I don't get home till late in the day, and she has a hard time asking anyone outside the family (i.e. friends) for help. She getting better at asking, but I know she'd rather just suffer til I get home! Oh, did I mention the irritability? Let's just say it's difficult for all of us!

Thanks Again Everyone
