Posting here for traffic… looked for old threads but couldn’t find much on those posted in health etc.
I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid and Graves’ disease at 21, took medication for 2 years levels before my levels returned to normal and I’ve had no issues again until now (12 years).
I’m 6 months post partum and had routine bloods to check my thyroid which showed it’s hyperactive again. I was monitored by endo during my pregnancy but no issues then. Waiting for an appointment but told it could be a while…
I’ve lost nearly 2 stone in 3 months (I was actively trying to loose weight but on reflection it came off far too easily, I thought it was bf…), my hairs falling out, my nails are brittle, I’m having palpitations/dizzy spells, insomnia but had put things down to tiredness, hormones etc.
I’m breast feeding and wanting to try for another baby next year but worried about what could happen with both of these now.
Has anybody experienced a relapse post partum? What we’re you given/advised?
