You are very likely have a severe iron deficiency. Many of your symptoms point this way. Especially if you are cycles are long and unusually heavy. After the birth of my children, I was so anemic. I qualified for blood transfusions but I refused. I took iron supplements and iron shots. I ate iron-rich foods. I felt an improvement almost immediately. Each passing month was better and better.
Have you had a blood transfusion since the birth of your son? If so, you could be experiencing a prolonged hemolytic reaction. When we recieve transfusions our body fights 100's of foreign antigens. This can put our body's in a state of inflammation for weeks and sometimes months. Hence the allergies. I don't mean to scare you but there is always the theoretical risk of contracting a communicable disease.
I hope this helps you to engage in a discussion with your doctor.
Well wishes and peace to you and your son :o)
Oh, and diabetes?
And consider trying a different thyroid medication or a higher dose. Docs are finding that you actually have to go by the symptoms, even when the numbers return to normal. Maybe all you need is a higher dose. If this doc won't try it, find a doc who will.
