Hello, I m 30 years old with 4 children. I work as a childminder also. For the past few months I have been extremley tired, from waking up, to going back to sleep at night. It seems to take me ages to come round, and my body is generally achey. I get between 8 and 9 hours sleep a night, and keep active in the day by walking, running and Zumba class. More recently I have noticed more bruises, especially on my legs/thighs, and tummy. some are from just very slight bangs, others are unexplained. I have felt nauseous and had an upset tummy 3 days this last week, and regularly feel bloated and have bouts of vomiting. I have tried to see my own gp, but haven t been able to get an appointment to fit in with work!
