Based on your history, your symptoms are very likely multifactorial, not due to just one cause. The combination of past TB treatment + pregnancy/post-delivery changes can commonly lead to what you’re experiencing now.
Key contributing factors likely include:
• Post-TB nutritional depletion (iron,
B12,
vitamin D, magnesium deficiencies are common after long TB regimens)
• Post-pregnancy hormonal shifts → fatigue, dark circles, migraine tendency
• Sleep debt and stress (very common after pregnancy)
• Muscle aches at night often point toward vitamin D / magnesium deficiency rather than nerve disease
• Seasonal migraines and eye pain also worsen when iron/B12 levels are low
This does not sound dangerous, but it does sound unaddressed and incomplete recovery, which is why symptoms persist.
Next Steps
I would strongly recommend a targeted blood work-up rather than random medicines:
• CBC with peripheral smear
• Serum
ferritin (iron stores)
•
Vitamin B12
•
Vitamin D (25-OH)
•
TSH (post-pregnancy
thyroid issues are common)
• Serum magnesium (if available)
Treatment should then focus on correcting deficiencies, not just painkillers or migraine tablets.
Most patients improve significantly once deficiencies are properly corrected.
Health Tips
• Prioritize sleep quality over duration
• Increase protein intake (eggs, curd, dal, paneer, nuts)
• Stay well hydrated
• Gentle evening stretching helps night leg pain
• Avoid skipping meals—this worsens migraines
