Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, and I am here because I have reached the end of my rope with my health and how I feel since I had my son. I had him at 30 weeks and I suffered severe preeclampsia with HELLP syndrome. I came very close to death and I have never felt normal since. I have gone to my cardiologist and my family doctor...I swear they all think I'm crazy...but I'm NOT!! Everyday i feel horrible...my vision is blurry, I'm dizzy all the time, I just feel out of it a LOT, I get very weird headaches. I'm exhausted all the time. I have numbness and tingling in my arms and legs and sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. I could list a hundred more weird symptoms, but you get the general idea. It seems like there are no doctors anywhere that care about you once you deliver and leave the hospital. They all seem to think once you have the baby it's over. I beg to differ on that. I have been miserable, and it takes away from fully enjoying my son. I wish I could do more with him, but sometimes I just can't do it. I don't feel good, or I'm just exhausted. Does anyone know of any doctors? I don't care how far away I have to travel that realize we aren't crazy and that this condition can have lasting effects. I really need to find someone because I need relief from these symptoms. Thanks for listening... Samantha |
