Hi Barb,
my foster daughter has fibromyalgia and is currently breastfeeding her 5 month
old son. She doesn't experience any changes in her total condition nor does she
feel any pain in her breasts during or after feeds.
It is my understanding that fibromyalgia is a very ''personalised'' condition
and that all patients have their own ''set of symptoms''.
