Numb - 2


Delicately realistic asked how i was doing through a message on facebook, this was my reply to her:

"i went to dar alshifa to see dr.hisham al5aya6 i dont know if u know him, he used to work in ebin seena .. hes a great doctor .. wayid he was nice o raya7ny
he did a physical test and asked me a lot of detailed questions .. family history and wanted to know exactly what happened.
he then told me i dont need an MRI or MRV .. he thinks is psychological.
postpartum depression. plus an anxiety attack. i never heard of this..
i mean anyone giving birth then numbing up .. but he thinks its the reason.
he thinks it will fade away in a week .. if it didnt he said he might refer me to a therapist .. since he also learned bout my mothers passing away.. he thinks i maybe still have bottled up feelings.

bs other than that .. al7imdellah im feeling better .. numbness comes and goes.. yesterday it came back to my entire left side again .. so im still giving it time hoping it will leave me alone soon :) coz it is a very bad feeling u know .. i feel like i dont exist .. when u cant feel the sensation of touch .. sub7an allah."

i should also add that this isnt a common thing after birth, i dont want to scare you :p it happened for so many reasons; in my case .. im not eating well, im breastfeeding, im sleep deprived, and im losing weight add to that im constantly worried .. and miss my mom all the time. Im physically and emotionally over working my self, the doctor explained it: as my brain shutting off my body so it would force me to have some time off.

After knowing all of this inshallah ill be better in no time.

ill be leaving you the info i worked hard to get, i made so many phone calls just to find the best of the best .. inshalah no one will have to see someone like the ER doctor ! who threw diagnosis so easily in my face like i was a case not a person.

dear no3ik
first of all my sincere condolence

ما تشوفين شر
umm the postpartum deppression is real and they have found that MethylB12 deficiency can cause post partum depression
another thing is look into your hormons any imbalance could cause you symptoms \
there is no harm in doing hormon tests
I have found that emotional stress can create so much chaos in the body

salamat again and cheer up, relax, and thins will be better Inshallah :)

Did your doctor ask you about whether you have headaches (e.g. migraine) or not?

If not, do you have any la sama7 allah?

I had CTS (stands for carpal tunnel syndrome) while I was in my last months, doctors told me it was from gaining so much weight during my pregnancy. it all went away when I gave birth. I remember it hurts so much to move both arms

I had the baby blues so bad as well. I won't call it depression because it didn't last more than 40 days. I remember crying without no reason like 5 times a day or more, it's silly thinking about it right now

Salamat, inshallah it will all go away and continue to breastfeed
