    Whats wrong with me?

    Hi I gave birth to my daughter a month ago and the day after I got home from hospital I started feeling like I was getting the flu, my whole body ached, my joints and my muscles but I felt fine in the head, I didnt have a headache or anything, My first thought was Mastitis because I am breast feeding but I dont have any other symtons of that. I was freezing cold but sweating really bad to the point where the sheets would be wet. The next day I woke up and everything was fine not a sign that there had been anything wrong.
    Anyway yesterday the same thing happened again exactly the same and I wake up this morning feeling fine except for a headache which is probably from the smoke from the bushfires.
    Has anyone had this before do they have any ideas what it could be?

    I don't have any answers for you but I think you should get checked out to be on the safe side. Hope you feel better soon

    definately get checked out - I was like that before getting a lot worse and it was a uterus infection..

    My friend also said that she sweated heaps after having her bub to get rid of the excess fluid..

    I had some excess fluid with DD and i sweated horrendously at night for the first week or two after the birth. Proper "get-up-and-strip-the-soaking-sheets-off-the-bed" sweating too, and would end up freezing cold! I didn't have pain or anything though, or flu-like feelings, just the sweats.
