strange symptoms after miscarriage...

I was just wondering if you had any weird symptoms after dealing with the physical and emotional stress of your m/c's. I have been getting canker sores progressively and the Nurse noticed I had a strange rash before she gave me any anesthetic for my D & C. Today I have even more canker sores and one is quite large and my face also has a rash. I thought after the D & C I would feel more relieved (physically I do and the bleeding is just light pink spotting now), but I am just feeling really sad and empty now. It is Thanksgiving and I should be happy, but I don't want to see anyone. Is this normal after a D & C? I seriously just want to curl up into a ball and cry. I am normally like one of the guys, hardly cry or get emotional about anything, and now I feel like I am an emotional wreck. The Nurse at the hospital thought my rash could have just been stress related, but even after the procedure it is still there. I was also thinking that it could possibly be the medicine the Dr. had given me for cramps (Tylenol w/ Codeine). They also prescribed me an antibiotic to take but I haven't started it yet. It just seems like it is one thing or another with me and I wish we could just have an end to this. I know these are random, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or what they did to make them better if they did? 

Thanks!

    After my m/c I thought I was fine and could handle what had happened and did really well with everything the week btw my m/c confirmation and my surgery. But about 2 days after my D&C I became extremely emotional and just wanted to cry. My husband couldn't figure why I was doing so well before and all of a sudden crashed. We finally figured out that it was my hormone levels coming back down. But I definitely felt very empty the week after the surgery. I am sure your other symptoms have something to due with the stress of the whole situation and your body just trying to adjust and the addition of the holidays. I hope you find some comfort soon and I am sorry for your loss.

    I developed perioral dermitis (bright red rash around mouth & nose) shortly after my MC. I am on heavy duty antibiotic and will be for a couple months. It was so horrid I didnt even leave the house for 10 days. I never had anything like that before, and hope it was just the hormonal change.

    After I posted this I went online and found some internet sights that are finding possible hormonal links to both these symptoms...

    They can also be stress related, but no one knows for sure. Some say that during their pregnancies canker sores almost never happened, and right before their menstrual cycles they appeared frequently. I am almost three weeks since my miscarriage started, so maybe my cycle is wanting to start back up soon since my D & C possibly cleaned out a lot of the pregnancy hormone creating culprits.

    Some find a link to low progesterone and canker sores. After m/c's I am thinking that these hormonal changes could most definitely be causing this because I am assuming the same hormones that are prevalent during pregnancy decrease and the menstrual hormones start back up again, a whirlwind of hormonal changes to look forward too I guess.

    Thank you for your comments. I hope that things get better for you all, too. The combination between hormones and stress must have a lot of fun wrecking havoc on the body. If anyone else has experienced anything like this I would still like to hear your stories, I am just playing around with some theories to try and solve some of these issues. And if any of you are also having these lovely occurrences, hopefully it will give you all some answers as well. They are more annoying/embarrassing than anything. But after having the whole ordeal of a m/c you at least want to feel healthy and not burdened by even the slightest health issues. Maybe I am just a dork for being so bugged by this right now and am just being a little obsessive. Still, if I gave someone a laugh by my newest tangent, at least I made someone smile amidst these rough times. 

    Thanks for reading!
