After women have babies, their systems are often depleted of nutrients. Esp Omega-3's, B12, folate

Sometimes just correcting a nutrient issue fixes things after a baby. Also some women get low thyroid after a pregnancy.
But then some autoimmune problems rear up then too. So it is difficult to say what is going on with you.

I'd look to your environment for sure, since your husband is having issues. Could be food (gluten) or inhaled things.
Heavy metals are sneaky for example.

You could ask for a brief steroid treatment. Have you tried aspirin? Aspirin I find (I use AlkaSeltzer because it is dissolved there) very helpful at times. But I do not use it everyday because it can lead to GI bleeding. Response to aspirin is often a clue to inflammatory PN.
