Oh no, Jane, I didn't realise that you have been feeling so tired for so long. I have a friend who is just recovering from chronic fatigue after a very long time, but
she is recovering and thinking about going back to work soon. No wonder you are finding all the baby stuff so hard.
And it is hard, but to be feeling the way you do at the same time.... honestly you are doing such a great job. I don't know a great deal about CFS, have you had the energy to look into what is recommended, or does everyone have a different opinion about it?
I know most Drs know very little, or seem to be quite blase about it, which isn't helpful. Did anything significant happen in your life 1.5 years ago? ( must have been just before you got pregnant) ( you can pm me if you want).
Oh yucky yuk! those flies sound rather nasty! So I guess DH has a permenant post there. Is it a possibility to stay there for a couple of years or so, make some money then move back closer to family?
Yea, you do have to put your own stuff on hold, in my job, but I don't really mind that, unless something really bad has happened, then it is tough. The new job i've been offered is about 10 mins down the road and less pressured than my current post (lots of drugs and alcohol), but my team are so lovely and the manager is great too (best lot I've ever worked with), so there's a lot at stake. Not quite the same risks as you took, but I really need to think about it hard.
I'd put money on it being a phase- with Oscars naps, Jacob is just going through a similar thing but -crawling round and around his cot...me picking him up putting him down again... needing me to be there until he is almost asleep, but he is still unwell, so I'll let him off! He's having a good nap this afternoon though- over 1.5 hours.
Oh,yes, as for the romance, that all went out of the window when the bub arrived, and still is!! :wink: never mind eh?!
