Hi girls,

I know i have read loads that PND can cause you to feel physically ill but can it really make me feel this bad???!!!

I have been out to my friends (which i had to really make myself do) and for a smear test and im SO shattered now im in bed on the laptop and mum has my little one.

I have had blood test after blood test,scans etc etc and nothing found but I still feel like this cant all be depression surely?? I just want it over with so bad, 20 months seems so long to be ill every day and im sure everyone else is sick of it too

Hi Jay

Yes it can. I never believed it for ages either. I was constantly tired, I would get so dizzy that I would pass out, I would be sick, get hot/cold sweats and the list goes on. I hit the roof when it was furst suggested to me it was PNI because I thought there wan no way it could be that I I showed no classic signs of depression etc and just felt so ill and tired...

But I promise it gets better, I am fine these days though do still get tired occasionaly but not like it was.

Hang in there hun, I promise it will all come right xx

Thanks so much for replying WG, I hope it gets better soon I feel such a let down to my little girl and Im just having NO life whatsoever.

I felt that too, i felt that I had missed out on the first year of her life and she had missed out on so much too... But she is a beautiful, smart and fun loving little girl now who loves her mummy and we have great adventures together -

Know that will happen for you guys too...
