Autoimmune disorders are not uncommon in postpartum women.  It is
possible that this is just an exacerbation of a pre-existing disorder
like fibromyalgia.  Fibromyalgia is poorly understood, but it can be
triggered by stress, and exacerbated by sleep deprivation, both common
features of new motherhood.
