I have been blogging for a little over a year now. When I came up with this blog I tried hard to think of a good name that would go with the issues that I was going through. In picking Post Partum Illness I never thought about the fact that people would immediately assume this blog was all about depression, it’s not. I just knew that I became ill after giving birth.

In fact I was never depressed after having children. I loved the fact that I had babies. Before things actually started showing up in my blood work the docs did keep telling me that it was anxiety and depression. When I started this blog I was wondering how many women were going through what I went through? When starting this blog the symptoms had finally surfaced into a problem that was obvious. How many women have been diagnosed with depression and they really do have something physically wrong?

I’ve come to find with a few doctors that when they don’t know what is wrong with a patient they tell a woman that she is depressed or stressed. In fact these doctors are really confident about the diagnosis. When you head back with results from another doctor or they screw you up with depression pills suddenly medicine is all practice. I wish these doctors would retire and just let the good ones who actually care do the work.

Here is the link to my updated about page.
