Would be grateful for the collective wisdom of MN.
9 week old baby so tired but not stupidly so. EBF - going well.
Had Nexplanon implant put in two weeks ago.
Baby and DH have recently had cold but not bad ones.
Last Sunday I had what I thought was cystitis. Pharmacist wouldn't give me anything and advised I try to flush it through. At the same time my 'period' seemed to be starting so had period style cramps and general v bad backache. So painful I was sick a couple of times.
Next few days I felt a bit under the weather but nothing terrible. Period went away again and cystitis abated. Back still a bit sore.
Thursday night was aching all over and couldn't sleep. When I did I woke up drenched in sweat.
Felt ok Friday morning but by 4 was freezing cold and shivering (proper jerky shaking). Dozed on sofa.
Friday night slept ok but v fuzzy head and headachy. Also clothes and bed absolutely wet through - 2 changes during night. Woke up this morning and back aching in one specific place - right rear between hip and rib cage.
Am now alternating between shivering cold and sweating buckets. Paracetamol and ibuprofen give temporary respite from the backache. Temp is fine.
Could I have a kidney infection? Is it just cumulative of lack of sleep? Could it be my hormones (is a bit similar to 5 days in). Or could it be the implant - have read various threads and none mention these as prominent symptoms.
