I can feel your pain, DD is the same, worse when teeth are on their way.
When you co-sleep and feed do you actually move her, sit up, feed and then back to sleep? With DD she will ask for boob, I'll roll, top goes up, she attaches then I fallback to sleep, she doesn't feed for long, it's all about comfort. Are you not able to carry on sleeping (I know, it's rubbish sleep) and feed at the same time? Does her brace stop that maybe?
Really I think it's a matter of finding another thing for comfort. My DD has boob or my elbow.... Yes weird... Puts her hand up my sleeve and plays with my elbow! I can usually get her to use my elbow as a comfort instead of boob (after she protests) which enables me to sleep better and feel less drained.
When you're so tired it's really hard not to get cranky at them. For me, I also find I really need to get some true alone time during the day because I've been invaded all night! As I type this I have DD with her hand up my sleeve and lying on my arm.
I really wish I could say more to help, but I guess you just have to keep trying things till you find something that works for you.
