"I lowered my meds a little and felt absolutely wonderful until I quit
breastfeeding my daughter a few months ago. It seems like my symptoms
returned almost overnight, but 10 times worse than they had ever been before.
I'm like a walking zombie, dry skin, hair, cold all the time, no memory or
concentration, no appetite but I
can't lose weight and I haven't had a period since September 2001 (my
daughter was born June 2002)."
I can't help with advice, but wanted to thank you for posting this because
I've not yet read of other women with similar experiences. The best I felt
was during breast feeding. I lost my pregnancy weight plus 40 lbs and had
tons of energy. The week I weaned the first child I felt terrible and gained
10 lbs. Within a few months I'd gained 50 lbs even though I exercised daily.
It was a similar scenario after weaning my second child and I've not felt
"great" since.
Thanks again for sharing and good luck!
