Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi Darcy, I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I hope you get better soon. I had a very, very bad case of mastitis - it got totally out of control and it was just awful, so please check into it if you suspect it. I let mine go too long b/c I didn't know what it was (I thought breastfeeding was supposed to be that painful!!) Hang in there and feel better soon!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks Donna, the doctor did decide it was mastitis. Nuts. I just had it December 14th.. so I'm back on antibiotics and hope to feel better tomorrow. Darcy At 10:41 AM 1/3/2006, you wrote: >Hi Darcy, > >I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Apparently I have " scar tissue " in that breast now which makes it more susceptible... (sp?) That breast makes the least amount of milk anyway, so it's never full. I don't know. I don't really get it either. Just know it's frustrating!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks Carolyn No way will I wean him........ It's far too good for him! If it came down to it, I could probably just use one breast and still have enough..LOL.. BUT, I'm sure it won't come down to that either. I was told to take grape seed extract and soy lecithin, I'll have to check into it.. Okay, no need to respond I doubt the fellow-exercisers care to hear about my sore breast...LOL...

But, yes, not all of us need to hear ALL the details. LOL Sorry, but breast-feeding is one of those subjects that just totally creeps me out. Maybe it's because I'm a man and maybe it's because I'm an adoptive parent and my wife didn't breast feed. It's about the only subject I'm too squeamish to handle. :-) But I really do hope you get better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
