Sleep is unhinged

our 20m old daughter has been waking at 3am screaming bloody murder intermittently until 5am or later. we’ve tried Motrin and it doesn’t seem to be pain related. I’ve offered water or a snack just out of desperation. she doesn’t want or need any of it. her “schedule” is 7am, nap at 12:45-2 and bed at 8pm. I say schedule because she’s seemingly getting up at 3am and staying up in some capacity until I get her at 7. I am ending up with migraines from lack of sleep. I have no idea what’s going on and shes never been a good sleeper but I’d love any ideas or advice. I can’t function like this much longer. I’m even going to bed at 9 just to try and function.

thanks!

hi! I am struggling with sugars (finger prick) as high as 220 after eating and my fasting is about 120. Im pretty anemic and my a1c is 4.7 and I think it’s because my red blood cells turn over too fast. I have such a fast heart rate, blurry vision, fatigue after I eat that it’s ridiculous. my hands went numb once and that scared me a lot. my doctors dismisses me constantly. I am in the process of switching doctors but I have little kids at home and I am not managing day to day life very well. I eat mostly Whole Foods and I know not to eat a bunch of carbs. I’m trying all I can do on my own but it doesn’t seem to be helping much.

can anyone help me understand how to seek diagnosis (or maybe I’m just being dramatic) or at least to feel better? my sugars after eating are always high too. I rarely come down below 140 after eating.

I really don’t understand a lot of it so please excuse my ignorance. I’d just appreciate help. I feel awful.
