First, thank you so much to all who emailed with advice and hugs...I was beyond miserable yesterday. I was nearly destraught, actually. Many recommended diff things (Gentian Violet-we've lived on it..LOL, GSE-doing it now, Antifungal-doing it now, a few others). But something happened yesterday that was SO awesome! A woman emailed me to say that it sounded like I was battling more then thrush. It sounded like what she has battled with (she also thought it was just recurrent thrush), Nipple Vasospasm. I had no idea what it was, so I read up on it and THAT'S IT!!!!! I don't have the vitamin combo I need yet, but I did do part of the therapy needed for it and I got out my low-grade pump (my high-grade PIS is WAY too hard right now), and OMG I'm pain free!!!!! They're a bit tender to the touch still, but the pumping doesn't hurt AT ALL, and my son is still getting my milk via bottle! I can't even tell you how excited I am by this! I've cried more tears, but happy/relieved ones! I'm going to try and find out the vitamin combo, but I just can't believe this....I came this close <> to quitting something I love and find so important! I can't thank her enough (I'm seeing so many people come out saying they have it...and they know of the immense pain). I actually SLEPT last night! I emailed the local LLL leader last night, and she called this morning (I missed it..because I was SLEEPING! lol!), but she's going to call back. I told Alex that if I have to pump until he's a year, I'll do it. Hopin I can get advice on how to continue at the breast as soon as my breasts heal. I'm just OVERJOYED that I don't have to quit!!!!
Again, thank you to all who cared enough to drop me a line or IM me...it meant everything to me to have 'friendly shoulders to lean on', so-to-speak!!!! *big hugs*
Oh, and I don't know if Sabrina reads this, but I got her package yesterday...she bought the most beautiful hanging baby quilt. It's for Brandon's first year, and has a spot for each month to put a picture of him. I'll get a pic of it today. The beautiful words she wrote in the card...*big hugs* I love ya, woman...thank you for everything!
