I'm 24 years old.. female.. I just had a baby 8 months ago.. I was very anemic while I was pregnant.. other than that everything went great with the pregnancy.. Before I got pregnant I always felt tired but my lab work always came back great.. while I was pregnant was very anemic.. Lately I'm been really tired, weak, dizzy, moody, cold.. I have good days and bad.. sometimes I can't get out of bed, other times I'm good for about 2 hours, other days I'm great.. Baby sleeps all night, have a great husband to help.. I sleep at night but always wake up not feeling rested.. Just went to the doctor and had lab work.. thyriod was fine.. even though it runs in my family.. he only tested t4 and tsh.. what about t3? anemia was 13 out of a range of 12-16. everything was picture perfect except my platelets were critically low.. that's what the paper said.. Dr. said not to worry about it b/c he didn't think it was right.. and that it wouldn't cause my symptoms. I'm going next week for another lab work to check it.. he's blaming everything on post-pardom depression.. of course he is.. doctors are always trying to pop a depression pill down your throat.. I'm not doing it though.. I feel I am depressed b/c I'm tired.. I don't know what to do.. anyone have any suggestions?
