I want and deserve to be a good happy mother.

I want to be a good mum. Which I am. But I have constant ear pain, pressure in my ear and sore neck. The WORST thing is the dizziness. It's like dizziness all the time with big random wooshes of dizziness on top of that.

I tend to lie in bed alot because of it and feel terrible for my children. I never tell them I don't feel well. They deserve better than me but it's not my fault. I still make a big effort to take them out but at my age it shouldn't be an effort.

I'm breathless alot too.

Drs have ruled everything out but I feel my ear isn't right. X

You are not a bad mother. We have real issues and our children will understand. I am glad you spoke with your doctor. Have you tried an ENT specialist? Know your limits and don't overdo it, especially driving, since you get dizzy, for your safety and that of your children.

Yes seen 3 ent drs. Say my ears are fine but I have pain and pressure in my left ear everyday. 3 years and it's getting worse. I've missed out on my kids because of this.

My partner is not supportive and says it's all in my head. I don't want to be with him. But he will not leave. He never speaks to me. I feel so alone.

Have you tried meds? For anxiety

So sorry you are experiencing all these health issues with your ears. Sounds like ENT doctors have not been able to diagnose the issue. Have you thought about seeing a chiropractor or perhaps a different primary care doctor? Sounds like something is not quite right. Has your doctor given you some meds to treat the symptoms, even if they cannot find the underlying cause? How old are your children? Do you have a support group of friends and/or family who can help watch the kids as needed when you are feeling badly? Be kind to yourself; I am sure you are doing the best you can do and that's all that can be done. Praying that you find solutions soon!

hey im sure your a great mum and that your kids would never want another mummy ever.the dizziness could just be stress/anxiety I get that from time to time.kids love swimming and cycling so maybe that could be an activity to be involved in with them.i needed reassured for something in my life many times until they said no more after that I put it out my mind.hope you get better with it soon.
