I had a FABULOUS pregnancy, worked out, was in great shape, ate healthy, felt great (pregnant, but great); check, check, check.
I don't have depression. I just get headaches about once a week. They feel like the shadow of a migrane, that warning feeling like if I do ANYTHING during the day beyond walking around my house I will get a nightmare of a headache. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
I don't know what is triggering it, I feel like if I do anything moderatly strenuous (i.e. going to Target in SV, working out {I KNOW!}, spending too much time at the park) it will trigger it. Food? I don't know. I am already gluten-free (that is what I thought was causing my headaches post Elias birth), pasturized milk free (my kids both have reactions to it). We still do dairy as in butter and cheese.
I am tired of it.
I don't want to waste away my children's childhood feeling yucky.
Yes, I went to the doctor. After lecturing me about my childrens vaccinations, I was able to tell her what I was going through and she told me that she would run some basic labs and that I probably just needed to drink more water: I mean, I have 3 kids, right?
Essentially she told me that I should feel fatigued and headachey if I have 3 kids, and am breastfeeding. Oh, yeah, and I need to drink more water.
Does anyone out there have any other help to offer? Experience? Suggestions?
Yes, I am going to another doctor, and yes, I will let you know what the labs suggest, if anything.
