Sorry you're feeling so awful, Michele. I guess we all know that the root of all of your pain lately has to be the emotional things you've been dealing with -- even though it didn't hit you until a couple of months after the miscarriages. You must be so frustrated that your body has not been cooperating with your wishes. Maybe you need a distraction, like a new low-maintenance pet (maybe a kitten?) or a project you can do that doesn't take too much physical effort. Sometimes when we have an obligation or a commitment, our bodies cooperate because they just HAVE to. I'll fail out of law school if I miss class, and on my worst days I just tell myself I don't have a choice, and I force myself to go. A few hours later, I always realize that I've been so distracted that the pain is gone. Maybe you can do something small like make halloween costumes for you and hubby, so you can look almost as cute as the goblins who ring your doorbell. And if you've never done anything like that before, then it will require that much more mental focus.
Obviously nobody has the answers here, but we're all trying to help, so I hope someone's suggestions work for you.
PS -- Not trying to be a bible thumper here, but are you religious at all? Sometimes the message of hope I get when I go to church is enough for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. So if it's been a while since you've gone to a religious service, maybe that would be a calm, peaceful way for you to get out of the house, be around people, but have the freedom to sit there and not talk to anyone. Think about it!
I hope you start feeling better soon,
Panda
