I didn't know non compromised adults ever got thrush! No wonder you feel so crappy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2452318 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 21:25:20 +0000 cascademom 2452318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your little one is in daycare, you can expect the first year to be in and out of the doctor's office until your immunity catches up. We switched daycares, so we're getting all new germy stuff different from our previous ones. We've spent the last week sick with RSV and strep each and every one of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2452296 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 20:53:54 +0000 Rockies11 2452296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@justjules: I have had this type of stuff happen with both kids postpartum. With my first, the weirdest things were I got a mosquito bite that turned into a blood infection and travelled all over one side of my body, and a band of shingles on my back. With my second I developed a sun allergy where I would get a huge blister rash anywhere the sun touched for more than 10 or so minutes. Then I got kidney stones and developed a rare heart condition that has never happened since. So I empathize! Some people do not do postpartum well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2452255 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 20:02:40 +0000 Applesandbananas 2452255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@justjules: Wow, that's crazy! I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2452218 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 18:59:58 +0000 Finfan 2452218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@justjules: OMG!! I hope you feel better soon. That sounss awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2452217 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 18:58:57 +0000 justjules 2452217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LOVELYPLUM<br /> @BLACKBIRD<br /> @TIRAMISU<br /> @HLK208</p> <p>thanks for the concerns! I went to the doctor because it was just getting worse and worse. I was diagnosed with oral thrush AND a strand of chicken pox that can develop in the mouth under stress and when your immune system crashes. (so I essentially have chicken pox in my mouth :shocked: ) </p> <p>heres to the start of new motherhood and a crashed immune system! I swear after all this pain is over all I'm eating is kale and vitamins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2450324 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 23:29:58 +0000 HLK208 2450324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@justjules: oh my gosh - you poor thing 😁 Both of my sisters caught oral herpes from their orthodontist. They had 10+ cold sores at a time! Have you seen a doctor?</p> <p>My immune system was so horrible while I was BFing last year. I was sick every two weeks. I had strep throat 4 times and colds in between strep. I was on antibiotics 8 times last year 😳 More antibiotics than I've taken in my whole life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2450317 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 23:24:56 +0000 tiramisu 2450317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes you poor thing! It sounds like it might be an immune issue and is probably a good idea to see your doctor. I'm no medical professional but I do see a doctor cause I have some autoimmune issues. He mentioned to me that sometimes postpartum your immune system can go haywire. I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2450244 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 22:31:56 +0000 blackbird 2450244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sick a month ago and had weeks of canker sores. I think my body was stressed and fighting everything off. But 15 at once is a lot-maybe you're deficient in something and your body is going nuts? I dunno :-/ white vinegar always helps mine go away faster </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2450240 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 22:28:09 +0000 LovelyPlum 2450240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh goodness, you poor thing!! That sounds awful! </p> <p>To me, the canker sores are the thing that says that your immune system is in overdrive trying to fight something. I pretty much only get them when I'm sick or so stressed I'm making myself sick. I know PP can be really rough, with the lack of sleep, craziness with BFing (if you are?), etc, but something doesn't sound right here. </p> <p>Do you have a medical professional that you can trust (PCP or GP or OB or someone?) to go in and talk to? It sounds like a good, hard look at your overall health is in order. Cause that's a lot in a row!! </p> <p>Good luck! Let us know how it goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-wrong-with-my-postpartum-body#post-2450136 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:42:14 +0000 justjules 2450136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright....</p> <p>DS is 3 months old.<br /> The past 2 months I have been non-stop sick. Lingering cold, then tonsillitis, then a week where I got itchy hives all over my body every night, and NOW my mouth is COVERED in canker sores. Last count, there were 15+ in my mouth. so I mean covered. </p> <p>I feel like my body is rebelling against me. I'm so frustrated. Anyone else's body do this?? Is it my immune system? hormones? </p>
