A common sign of low thyroid is fatigue and hair loss.  Hormonal changes also cause hair loss, and  either stress or depression will cause the late stay in bed!
If you have just had a child, I'd suspect post-partum depression which is caused by the sudden drop in progesterone. You should not panic about leukemia, but you should definitely see a http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Leukemia--Lymphoma-/could-it-be-Leukemia/show/713307#physician.

Hi Amanda:  You do seem to have a problem, but what makes you pick Leukemia as a possible reason for your problems.  Does Leukemia run in your family, or is someone telling you that it could be Leukemia.
Did you see a doctor, and let him run some blood work on you.  Routine blood work is the most common way that they find Leukemia.  If your white count is high, they will do other testing to check it out.  It could be as simple as your nerves or something like that.  Do not try to diagnose yourself, get to your doctor for a check-up.
    I do have Leukemia for 10 years now, and if you do get diagnosed then contact us again if you need some support.  God Bless You
