Pregnancy Info HOME

Am at 3 months now w/pain in feet and hands. I've finally got my PCP working with me. She does believe that it's systemic. I'm being tested for all sorts of things: vitamin and mineral deficiences, diabetes, thyroid, etc. and am being sent to a neurologist, an orthopedic surgeon, and an endocrinologist. One test showed that I have antithyroid antibodies which can lead to hypothyroidism. My doctor is putting me on the lowest dosage of Levothyrixine. If anything, get tested for all of the above, esp. if you have been suffering for more than a month's time. We should *not* be suffering after having our babies! It's taken the joy out of my maternity leave since I've had this crippling pain. sigh.
