Get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting, uric acid, calcium, vit d, b12 checked from some lab. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 2. Don't overeat 3. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of mixed dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9. Drink lot of water.10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gym etc. For more details, you can consult me.

Your hb is definitely good probably lack of sleep as your baby is just 1 year. Lack of sleep will make you your body to become tired and the joints will not have enough nourishment ie. Oxygen which will make your joints to become stiff which might be the reason for you to have pain in the finger joints and shoulders. You can do bath in a bath tub which will make you to become relaxed, or take hot water shower and do some massage to the finger joints and shoulder which will help you to get relaxed and which will help you to have sound sleep.
