Allergic to my children :-P

[Guest guest]

I'm on 35mg HC/day and this has stabilised my temps nicely, although

they are still very low (about 97.2 averaged over the day). I'm

working on raising my Armour - thus far I'm just about tolerating 1/2

grain.

But I still seem to save bog all in the way of adrenal reserves. The

least little thing still flattens me and sends me into a state of

utter exhaustion.

DH has often commented that I am allergic to my kids (aged 5 & 2).

Actually the 5-yo is an angel & not stressful at all, but the 2-yo

is, well, a 2-yo, stroppy, mischievous, opinionated and utterly

gorgeous of course, but hard work. Seems to think that " no "

means " do it again as fast as you can with a cheeky grin on your

face " . Which, for instance, is stressful when I'm trying to stop her

running out into the road. Screams blue murder at the slightest

thing. Is perfectly reasonable as long as you do exactly what she

wants :-) There's no malice or ill intent there; she's just a

perfectly normal toddler, and a fiendish intelligence as yet

untempered by any common sense or empathy.

All this is to say, the problem is not her. It's with my reaction to

these normal things.

And the *slightest* thing, little normal thing, leaves me exhausted

to the point where I can't function. Even if, like today, she's been

with a childminder all day & I've been asleep all day, the slightest

thing leaves me prostrate.

Does this mean my reserves are still low? What can I do about it?

More HC? (Dear God I hope not). Yoga? All ideas appreciated.
