kuraiza you've been given great advice, and i just wanted to mention the thyroid gland

When DD was 3 months old i was so exhausted i was lying on the sofa most of every day, my hair was falling out in clumps, i felt cold all the time (in Scotland though, so it IS colder here), and i had a large swelling in my throat which ached sometimes. It turned out that my thyroid gland was being attacked by my immune system, but post-partum (that is, temporary, mine is permanent) thyroiditis is actually rather common. Your doctor can check for this with a simple blood test and if you do have it they can give you levothyroxine - a little pill once a day which replaces what you're unable to make. If it's post-partum your thyroid will spontaneously recover on its own, but the drugs make a MASSIVE difference to how you feel. What struck the loudest bell with me was the feeling of it being an ordeal to even leave the house. I was like a slug, everything felt too hard. I just wanted to curl up and sleep for a month. I was a single mum by then and it was SO SO exhausting (DD was an ok sleeper, fed 3-4 times a night but slept for 60-90mins twice a day in the daytime).

Just thought it was worth a mention.

Best of luck hun, hang in there!
