The mom gave us the clue to her problem at the very end of the long history. "My objective is to get well--I'm sick of being sick. I'm too busy to be = sick!" Being too busy to be sick, is a clue to me why this mom has had one continuous bout of mastitis, etc. Fatigue. This mom sounds extremely fatigued and refusing to allow her body to get the rest it needs. The letter sounds like she has moved quite a bit and just reading the letter made me stressed. The level of fatigue and stress this mother seems to be under has effected her body's ability to be healthy. There is no magic pill for rest other than changing your lifestyle to allow for some relaxation. She may need meds but medication does not cure exhaustion. Valerie W.
