I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I had breast cancer when my daughter was in second grade. That was such as crazy time, only just six years old. In some ways, I blocked out my daughter's, education because my issues were overwhelming. I had the support of my husband and friends. Also, my daughter has type 1 diabetes. I know all of this must have put a tremendous strain on my husband. In all of the craziness, my husband and I tried to stick to our daily routine. I did as much as I could to help my daughter when I was not undergoing surgery or having chemo treatments. If you ever need to vent, I would be happy to listen. As of today, I am fine...knock on wood! I have also had other medical challenges as well. I am making myself sound like I am disabled, but I am not in any way disabled. I supposed I just had a run of bad luck. So, hang in there. I know it must be hard on you... My situation was such a strain at the time... If you can, try and find the good things that happen during the day and focus on them. Take care...

Do you have a under active or Over active thyroid? Cause I have a under active thyroid and it so does not help at all..plus I had diabetic when I was pregnant with my daughter now it supposedly went away after birth,,but then again I feel I still have the symptoms of diabetes something to check out..anyhow I know how you feel though. I am kind of looking for support on the same subject myself, and I came across this post.

im sorry that you are suffering and i understand that it must be very hard for you,it is very hard being a mother and having an illness as well doesnt help but us mothers are very strong and we survive a lot of things some how we find the strenght to carry on.the one thing i would say to you is dont be afraid to ask for help take time out for yourself you deserve a bit of time on your own. look after your self,
