Hi:
I am a 32-year-old, with 3 children. After the birth of my last child in 2015 - it took me 7 months to have a period and I was not breastfeeding. I thought it was a little odd, considering with my other children it came within 6-8 weeks. Prior to him being born, my period was every 27 days, like clockwork since I was 12 years old. When the period started it was ranging from 30 to 35 days, now it ranges from 24-28 days, sometimes I have a 3 day period and sometimes its 8 days. However, I did not seek medical advice because I am stubborn.
Since the birth of him, I have went through various symptoms, such as fluctuating BP, Heat intolerance, cold sensitivity, night sweats, dry dry skin, low body temp (97.5), low grade fever(99) with no symptoms of being ill, carpal tunnel, dry/red eyes, muscle aches, GI issues, intense migraines, 6 miscarriages, and now I am losing the outer part of both my eyebrows. The problem is, I don’t ALWAYS feel like this, it’s almost like I have flare ups. Last year, I went to my GP who tested my tsh – which was normal at 1.46 m(.40-3.8 range) and Free T4 1.2 ( .7-1.4 RANGE). Everyone keeps pushing me off, stating various reasons as to why I am feeling like this instead of diagnosing me. Also, my family history includes – all on my dad’s side – 1st generation relatives – Lupus, Hashi and Graves.
I am just looking for some guidance because as this keeps going, I am becoming more discouraged and just am needing some advice as to what I should do with something that is very real going on with my body.
Thanks!
