Dear Jan,
I have saved your earlier request on info on Joint and Bone Pain w/ bf
because I too was curious.  I suppose I also remembered my aunt who had a
form of Lupus that first manifested itself like arthritis.  Lupus is also a
disease that may come out of remission and be more severe with pregnancy and
breastfeeding.  Since you didn't mention any problems w/ pregnancy and pain
there may be no connection and I am only a lowly nutritionist so I cannot
give you a professional opinion.  Waiting with you for more comments and
wondering what this mother's physician thinks....
Please let us all know when you hear the outcome!
