Aww, I hope things improve for you soon!

I felt like this a month ago. Run down and just kind of shitty. Dh told me it was probably just the parenting glow...

I hope some of those things get better soon! It's the worst feeling when there's nothing "wrong".

But don't underestimate the impact that chronic lack of sleep has on your body. It doesn't function properly or heal itself if it's not resting.

@Mrs. Chipmunk: If you don't feel good, keep pressing. I'm not trying to freak you out because our symptoms sound different, but I had headaches, dizziness, constant illness or sinus infections for about 4-5 months and I thought I was losing my mind because I just feel like crap all the time. Then my eyesight started getting patchy all of the sudden (in the vision tests it was like I was looking through swiss cheese - certain letters would be there, some wouldn't). I went through a bunch of doctors, was put on multiple allergy medicines for the sinus infections, went to 2 OD's, and 3 opthalmologists before I finally got one that pushed me to get an MRI of my head to see if there was something wrong with my optic nerve in the area that extends beyond where their instruments can see. Along the way, they diagnosed with me allergies I had never had before, sinus-related disorders, optic neuritis - all completely unexplained and "probably due to stress from your job." Meanwhile my eyesight kept getting worse.

1 MRI later, it turns out I had a benign brain tumor (a meningioma) the size of a golf ball in the middle of my face (where my sinuses and optic nerves are right between my eyes) and that's what had been causing all my problems (and my fertility problems!).

Again, I'm not saying you have what I have, but don't dismiss your symptoms if you know they aren't normal. Especially with the vision stuff, I'd push for more tests because if you're having headaches on top of it. Have you had your vision tested to see if your Rx has changed? Mine did a few times before and since the brain tumor and I always get the blurred vision/headache thing.
