Weaning & fatigue????

in August 2012 Moms
I just weaned over the last 6 weeks or so and my last nursing was 5 days ago. I've been drinking sage tea which has helped immensely with drying up my milk supply. But... I cannot understand why I am so utterly and completely exhausted! At times it reminds me of how weak I felt when I had the flu. My DF thinks I'm just sleep deprived because we aren't sleeping in our bed but on a futon. But I don't feel "sleepy" per se, it's extreme fatigue. I usually jog every day & definitely don't have the energy for that. Anyone else experience this?

    It's possible the weaning caused you to feel sick. Your hormones are doing a lot of changing.

    I don't think that much fatigue is normal. When I weaned my older two I don't remember experiencing anything Like this. I think if I were you I'd go see the Dr. Maybe check thyroid levels and do some blood work. I'd be concerned and wouldn't just blame it on weaning.

    I don't have AF yet but I've been expecting to get it any day since my nursing has been greatly reduced lately & especially now that I'm done.

    You mentioned the flu, could it possibly be mastitis?  Its supposed to feel just like the flu.  Maybe feel around for any clogged ducts?  Did you stop cold turkey?  I think even if you didn't you run the risk of clogged ducts when weaning.
