I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in Feb. 2009. Since then my heath took a big turn. In April 2010 I started to feel sick, doctor appointment after appointment and no definite result.
Her is a list of my symptom and I would like you suggestion or opinion please.
1. Bloated sometime to the point that I look like 6 month pregnant and I'm not.
2. Extreme fatigue
3. Muscle pain more in my legs and upper arm.
4. Dizziness (often)
In May 2010 I was diagnose with Fibormyalgia and started medication in 2012 and they say that you have up and down but for the fatigue part it’s just getting worst I have a hard time to get up in the morning and to do my day.
For my bloating my normal weight is 147 and when I start to get bloated I can go up to 166.
I think it could be related to my food but the doctor told me no.
I have no energy what so ever
Hve you had any blood work done recently? I would start there
Yes a lot and everything is good
Me - 27
DH - 29
DD - 3
Could it just be the Fibromyalgia? Maybe your meds need to be adjusted? Is your doctor not concerned?
No not at all.
Forgive me if you've done this already, but I'd say it's time to get a second opinion and see a new doctor.

justtryingthisout: Forgive me if you've done this already, but I'd say it's time to get a second opinion and see a new doctor.
I totally agree !!
Definitely get a second opinion. Don't just take all the meds they'll try to shove down your throat until you have exhausted other avenues. Food sensitivities can be huge triggers and for some reason western medicine doctors only like to treat symptoms instead of the underlying issue which often times makes everything worse and you end up taking medication to offset the side effects caused by another medication. What do they have you taking?
If you feel a change in diet may help, seek a doctor who shares that view and at least give it a try. Sorry to hear you've been struggling so, I hope you find some answers soon.

I agree on the second opinion. Sometimes the doctor you are seeing may not specialize completely in the area of question and is just treating what they think fits the description you have given them. Some meds may have fillers/additives that your body can't handle too and cause extra problems.
One question - in regards to muscle/bone aches - have you had your vitamin D levels tested? I know this was part of my issue of horrible body aches after I stopped BFing DD - hips and feet area especially. Mine was low and since adding D:1200 mg a day to my supplement list a lot of that pain has gone away. But yes, I'd set an appointment w/someone else if you can. If you need help, perhaps your GP can point you in the right direction to see someone else.
Best of luck finding answers.
