Hi all. I have been having some concerning symptoms that I would like to see if anyone has experienced this. I am 11 months postpartum.

My symptoms are as followed:

— Large bruises on my legs. I can confirm that it is not from random bumps. It has been going on for months and I am a stay at home mom. I know for sure that they are not from random bumps. These are small like a quarter to extremely large, approx 6 inches long.

— Crazy night sweats, soaking through clothes and sheets

— Nausea recently

— Weight loss (I assume because of breastfeeding) 25lbs down from pre-pregnancy weight till now

— Lack of appetite

— Aches occasionally

— Decreased immune system

— I have been having vaginal bleeding for 8 months, they assume due to my IUD post pregnancy. It his heavier than spotting. I assumed the bleeding was making me anemic but the doctor I saw said I wasn't due to my normal blood work.

I have had a CBC and all was normal besides a slight increase of immature granulocytes # and %.

When you google the systems (not good haha) it is concerning, but my blood work was normal so I'm assuming it's nothing serious?

Meds:

—Lamotrigine for depression, 150mg, 1 tablet twice a day

— Levothyroxine for thyroid, 150mcg once daily

— Duloxetine for depression, 60mg, once daily

I have been taking these medications for 2 years with no issues or side effects. The symptoms above are all new within the last 6 months.

I am not pregnant, as confirmed by a test.

If anyone has had a similar experience, please let me know.

Thank you!

    You need to intake more vitamins into your diet and drink more fluids.

    I think your decreased immune system is the cause for the rest of the symptoms. You need to take lots of vitamin C.
