HELP!

I am a 26 year old mother of two, Jaden is 6 and in first grade Pauldaniel is 3 1/2. I was diagnosed when i was 11 and since i was homeschooled i was spared the social scars i would have gotten in public school. By the time i was 17 i was fairly symptom free and enjoyed my good health till my daughter was about 6 weeks old. I started working the day i turned 16 and worked full time + untill my daughter was 1. I progressed rapidly her first year and have been on a roller coaster ever since. I would say fatigue and nerve pain are my biggest problems, I also lost feeling in my hands and most of my left side.... this is less troubling for me than the pain
My daughter has ADHD and is medicated for it. She has always been amazingly active, but she started to have other problems that i could not fix on our own. As someone who carries a veritable pharmacy in my purse its very strange i would have concern medicating my daughter but that how it is. Jaden has always been small. she weighed 24 lbs at her 4 year check up. My son is what is bothering me now. He is a 3 year old boy so i know not to expect too much but he is getting voilent twards me. It doesn't take a lot for a kid to know if you push on my leg i fall down or that i cant run or that if you run upstairs you have a good 10 min before i get up there to find you. He is an AMAZINGLY smart little guy, not so little he is in a 4t pants and a 6t shirt and he is pushing 40 lbs. when Jaden would have a freak out at wall mart when she was 5 i could just pick her up and keep going. I cant do this with him. I cant keep him in time out and i cant spank him_wont spank him_ becasue of the lack of feeling in my hand i'll either hit him to hard or not at all! I'm on dissability and my husband works, I cant get child care assistance unless i say i am unable to care for the kids without supervision. I dont care how strong my marrige is i'm NEVER going to sign something that might risk loosing my kids in the future.
any thoughts?
