There is a very informative article in the February/March issue of
Leaven called "Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Breastfeeding." Among other
things, it points out that mothers with fibromyalgia may also have
Raynaud's Phenomenon, which might explain the nipple pain. Perhaps if
you know of a local LLL leader, you could borrow her copy of Leaven.
