During my preganacy i became extreemly tired straight away and slept a lot during the day. Not being able to keep the baby i had an abortion and i've gained a LOT of weight. In August I weighed 103lbs and i now weigh 130lbs...6 months later. I'm very tired a lot and my sleeping patterns are completely messed up. I stopped work in Novemeber because of the pregnancy and i've only just found a new job. I don't react well to stress and i feel as though i'm constantly ill with a cold. If things stress me out i litteraly go to sleep...i don't know if this is some type of depression...or maby i have a thyroid problem because i was anorexic and then bulimic for about ten years and it's only "now" since being pregnant that i eat what i like...

I'm making a doctors appointment tomorow...

My mums CFS only started after she had me (22 years ago now), its seems to be that any major stress on the bodys systems can potentially start it off.

My cfs started after pregnancy/abortion 2 years ago and I haven't felt the same since. Strangely enough, I had an eating disorder for 12 years previous to getting pregnant (gave it up right before I got pregnant. the irony being that i wanted to get healthy and I ended up getting cfs)....can you tell me what happens at your doctors? everyone i have spoken to has told me that the pregnancy was just the straw that broke the camels back after all those years of abuse, but I always felt good and i was very fit before getting pregnant. Still, I have had cfs for 2 years.
