Either way, if you didn't do anything to build your nutritional stores up after baby/nursing and you're not eating enough to make up for it, then it's worth taking a look at, and 3 vials will probably tell you what your cholesterol is and maybe blood sugars.  The basic bloodwork is very minimal by comparison.

I too got it after pregnancy I take a very low dose but feel really good. Apparently it may take a while to dial in the dose it took the doctor about 6 months and a few labs to figure out my dose.  Good luck!

hey mell! isn't it weird the things you get just from getting pregnant? its like, no one ever told me. i got super super bad tendinitis when i was pregnant and it lasted till my son was almost 8 months. i went to a hand specialist and got shots and they basically told me, yeah that just happens, nothing can be done, try to stop picking up your kid. yeah right. luckily thank goodness i took this glucosomine liquid and it was the only thing that made it go away. and now to be this far out and get something like this? well thats a fine how do you do. lol. thanks alot.  i read that it takes time to get the right dose, and to find the right drug and that sometimes your labs come back normal and you still have symptoms. it really sounds like a headache. i really hope its not super sever and i can find a dose that works to get me back to my old self!

 

thanks for the feedback! i appreciate it! it helps.
