And so awesome you all mentioned STTM- I wish I had found it almost 4 years ago after my daughter was born, but I don't even know if the fb group existed then! I definately suspected thyroid problems after giving birth to my daughter- the hair loss is what really made me suspect it- it was severe- I was getting tiny bald spots on my temples! Tight feeling around neck, trouble swallowing, insomnia, cold intolerance, puffy cheeks, gain weight, rapid weight loss, constant throat clearing, sore throats, night sweats, hoarse voice, exhaustion, etc! All my symptoms escalated when my daughter was a few months old- I suddenly couldn't sleep at all and could hardly swallow. My family was ignorant and not very good support (and I was a single mom) and the few doctors I saw were ignorant as well. So, I ended up in the hospital after 5 weeks from symptoms of severe sleep deprivation! Adrenal fatigue from lack of sleep through my body into real true menopause (where you lose nurturing abilities and experience aging, etc) at 28! I did my best to be my own advocate with the doctors but I was just too unable to successfully do it all alone considering the extreme lack of sleep I was suffering from.

If you do a Google search for low progesterone symptoms you may find many of your symptoms on a list. Low progesterone and low thyroid symptoms can mirror each other, and sometimes if you struggle with one you struggle with the other.Frugal Wellnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986683833268106343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733461838641439334.post-23452882201498232852009-06-05T07:17:58.775-05:002009-06-05T07:17:58.775-05:00This is interesting!

I've noticed (actually Keith noticed) that after having a baby I tend to have a cycle of some of these symptoms at different times, especially feeling weak at times and mood swings that also tend to coincide with my cycle. Niccole, how does this go along with or affect PMS symptoms? Also, I'm curious as to who your CNP is! I would love to have someone for my family who is open to natural remedies and such!2921 Princewood Drivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161343570212368240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733461838641439334.post-61437889832964006732009-06-04T15:41:41.603-05:002009-06-04T15:41:41.603-05:00Yes, www.stopthethyroidmadness.com is a great webs...Yes, www.stopthethyroidmadness.com is a great website! However, I am surprised they don't have more information re: PPT on their site. The laundry list of symptoms for a over (hyper) or under (hypo) active thyroid is very, very long. If you're a few months (or even years) out from having a baby, and are struggling to lose or gain weight, are exhausted, and experience mood significant swings please see the STTM website! <br /> <br />Thanks for posting, Meredith. You have an interesting story concerning your thyroid function after the birth of your oldest child. More women need to talk about this condition, and not make generalizations about new moms and their struggles! :)Frugal Wellnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986683833268106343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733461838641439334.post-80374688378282646732009-06-04T10:43:50.872-05:002009-06-04T10:43:50.872-05:00Good website to add - www.stopthethyroidmadness.co...Good website to add - www.stopthethyroidmadness.com<br /><br />Oh and fatigue...try non-functioning ability to keep your eyes open and a huge weight of exhaustion laying heavily on your body. How's that? LOL.<br /><br />I think its also important to note that one can have one, a few, all or none of these symptoms. Thyroid symptoms are so unique to the person affected. For ex - my hair falls out and my fingernails break super easily.Meredith Braaten, CD(DONA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04626634194635169816noreply@blogger.com
