Postpartum Thyroiditis

[Bwrd]

Anybody here ever suffered from this and can share their experience?

I'm currently 2.5 months postpartum, had bloods 2 weeks ago where my T3 was 7.14 and TSH was 0.05. Just had some more bloods where my T3 is 17 my T4 is 32 and my TSH is 0.01. My GP is convinced its PP Thyroiditis. I've been referred and still waiting to see an endocrinologist

No I haven't, but I consulted a nutritional doctor several years ago. One thing I remember him saying is that when you are pregnant your baby takes the nutrition it needs from the mother which can leave the mother deficient. I had had 3 babies and had built up several deficiencies which had contributed to my PMS and menopause problems. A change of diet and appropriate supplements helped me. My thyroid problems were diagnosed several years later.

So do make sure your vitamin & mineral levels are as good as you can get them.

I hope your baby is doing well and you are getting enough help and sleep.

Best wishes.
