Welcome to our board.

I have a few observations:

1) get a B12 serum level blood test and see if you are below 400.
Do not accept "normal" from the doctor. Get the actual numbers.

2) also get a Vit D level when you have the other test, and make sure it is in the 50-80ng range. Doctors also report normal on very low levels.

3) after pregnancies some women have low thyroid functions, and this can result in PN. So this needs to be tested for.

Other things to look at are autoimmune diseases, like myasthenia gravis, lupus, RA. These may flare after a pregnancy.
