Kay Hoover has asked that this be posted to LACTNET. I 
received a referral. A very interesting case. G2P2L2 both 
babies were premature mother is pumping. She is now 10 days 
postpartum. Up to this point she has had copious milk 
production. It is suddenly diminishing as it did with her 
first baby. She is experiencing extreme muscle pain  such 
that she cannot pick up her toddler. She gets hives all over 
her chest when she pumps and she is having trouble breathing. 
Benedryl did not help last time. Steroids were not present to 
take last time. If the same thing happens as did last time, 
in a few days her milk will be gone. The only thing I could 
think of was to ask her primary if a referral to a 
reproductive endocrinologist would be appropriate. The 
doctors were stumped last time and are just as stumped this 
time. Please post to lactnet. Kay
