Effects of miscarriage? Or not?

I miscarried a few weeks ago but also had to take termination medication due to retained tissue. For me, mentally, this was the best outcome for the pregnancy for reasons I really don’t want to go in to.
I don’t feel sad or a sense of loss, but physically I seem to be a wreck. I have since had a period, and thought that was everything back to normal, but I just feel so run down.
I’ve had conjunctivitis in both eyes, colds that I can’t shift, currently on a horrific bout of diarrhoea. I just can’t seem to stay well. I’m normally really fit, healthy, active so this is really odd for me to experience.
Is this quite common after miscarriage? Any advice greatly appreciated.

pregnancy suppresses your immune system, so it's entirely possible that you were a bit more vulnerable to various bugs going roung. It's also that time of year. Take time for yourself, take some good quality Vit C, zinc, Vit D supplements and make sure you're getting enough sleep and eating well.

And have a hug. No matter how much this is the preferred outcome it's a lot to go through.
