[quote=Anonymous]I have a crazy, special one, guys. Post-partum thyroiditis. Thyroid Storm, which is basically a death sentence for 90 people. I was 12 weeks post-partum and felt exhausted. I was losing hair, lost 50 pounds (40 baby and 10 were the 10 I couldn't stubbornly lose for a decade) in 8 weeks. I brought it up at every well baby and my own OB appointments. I was sweating all the time and had this ache in my throat (hint hint). I felt like shit and every doctor was like "ALL MOMS DO! You're just tired...new baby with a toddler blah blah". My husband dragged me to the ER (I thought he was being dramatic) and it was like Grey's Anatomy. I was sent to Fairfax in a helicopter and thrown in the ICU in critical condition. They basically said if I had waited another day, I'd be dead. If you feel like shit ladies do not let a doctor write you off. Keep going and pushing to get to the bottom of it.[/quote]
