I am a LLL-leader in the Netherlands and just started my training to become a LC.

I have contact with a mother with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). She is breastfeeding but she tells me that her skin is very sensitive. She also finds it very difficult that the baby is coming irregularly. (She prefers a scheme). 
Her first child received bottle-feeding. 

The baby is also very fussy at the breast. She also pumps her milk. During the night the baby receives this milk in a bottle. The mother thinks that while she can sleep through the night breastfeeding will be less fatique for her. But in the morning her breast are very full. 

My question:
Which problems can mother with FMS encounter?
How can these problems be solved?
 
I already read in the e-mail from the archives vasospasms can be due to FMS.

Thanks in advance,
Marijke Boele, LLL-leader, The Netherlands.
