I would like to ask for some advice on an interesting case. I have permission to post. First baby, term, maternal history epilepsy, normal birth. Baby now 2 weeks old. Thriving. good milk supply. Mother experiences moderate to severe pain in breast, nipples, arms and legs during feeding. This starts as pins and needles and progresses to loss of feeling then nerve type pain. Worse at night and worse during the letdown. I am thinking reynards. I conferred with a doctor who thought this may be a hypersensitive response to the hormones of lactation. There were some latching issues to correct and thrush to treat, but the over riding symptom is this nerve pain in her limbs. She has to rock through a feeding to deal with the pain (like labour). The other thing I noted was an enlarged thyroid gland. Both her mother and I looked and noticed at the same time. It was quite obvious. She will go to the doctor to get this checked out. Any thoughts anyone. Anyone seen something similiar. Would be grateful for any advice, Karen Palmer New Zealand *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET email list is powered by LISTSERV (R).
