This does sound like it could be a type of systemic infection; it certainly isn't a normal response to childbirth. These symptoms fall amongst the numerous advanced Lyme disease symptoms. Lupus, like multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ALS, and other immune disorders has an unidentified cause. Having had contact with many Lyme "victims", I am aware that these syndromes often have their roots in Lyme disease. People are frequently misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed, and Lyme disease is often overlooked as a possibility. Unfortunately, many doctors are willingly ingnorant about Lyme; others need some education on it. False negative blood tests and lack of rash are very common in this mysterious infection. **This is a hard thing to say, but if this woman may have a systemic infection, there should be concern as to whether the baby may have been exposed in utero or through breast feeding. Although there are no studies documenting this, many doctors & parents KNOW that Lyme disease can and is transmitted in utero. Heart problems, poor immune system & muscle tone, and ADD symptoms are frequent symptoms in babies and young children. I had the symptoms you mentioned amongst countless others through the peak of my battle with Lyme disease 1994-6). It is not unusual for hormone changes to bring on relapses or awareness that something is wrong. In fact, many women have monthly flareups coinciding with their cycles. Lyme disease can cause hormonal imbalances & thyroid disease, leading to emotional disturbances and more. Pitocin (oxytocin), a synthetic hormone, is often given in childbirth to increase strength and length of contractions in a situation where the doctor feels labor needs to be helped along or sped up. I had this with my first child but it could have been avoided if the staff had realized I had only been in (unproductive) labor 12, not 24 hours! I'm a nurse and knew inside and out how normal labor is supposed to go. I didn't question this as my water had broken before onset of labor, and nothing was happening. It was only later that I found out they had the time wrong. They could have waited another 12 hours. It was an intense labor, but thankfully, my son was born just 2 hours and 9 minutes after the pit was started. All's well that ends well. My parents' visit was to end the next day, and they got to see our firstborn before returning home! This can be harsh, causing the unborn baby's head to hit the "floor" more intensely than in labor on natural hormones & labor. There's risk of damaging the uterus and the cervix, and tearing may be worse due to intensity. But it has spared many moms the dreaded c-section too, myself included. After my son's birth, it took me several weeks-- actually, months & months to get over back and chest pain I thought was from the pregnancy & delivery. I started getting sharp pains in the area of my heart, and overwhelming fatigue. For months, I could barely tolerate a shopping trip to the grocery store. I'd sweat, my heart would pound, and I had shortness of breath. I believe that this was my first intense encounter with Lyme disease, which I probably contracted as a child. (Milder symptoms go that far back.) In order to tie this in with CS, I will add that after 26 months of antibiotics which in themselves sickened me, I plateaued in healing for Lyme disease (about 90% well on average) and began taking just CS. I soon hit the 100% wellness mark, averaging 95-98%. I stopped at the end of May, '98, but now feel it's time to resume again, at a maintenance dose. I'm just not feeling my best, and want to keep things in check before they worsen. (Mild aches in limbs & back, some fatigue & palpitations returning.) Autumn has never been "easy" for me, whether this is from lack of daylight, allergies, cold weather, or all of the above. But I do know that when I'm on silver I feel better, in fact, terrific, overall. I find it necessary to test my theories about CS on myself. This was a long stretch to go without CS and maintain a high level of health & stamina, for which I'm grateful to my Lord. Now I'll go back on and see again if I rebound as I have in the past. I rate myself 80-90% well right now. Can't complain! Was much worse in the thick of things!
