Hello Oh Wise Ones, I have 2 problems that I need some help with. Have searched the Archives but would really appreciate your input. 1st: Have a mom who is a rape victim. She was acquainted with the rapist and never pressed charges. The child is now a couple of months old and exclusively BF. The Rapist/Father/BAD WORD is suing for custody of the child. Mom needs any help possible keeping this "Person" from getting his hands on her beautiful baby. 2nd: Have a mom with severe Inflamatory Arthritis. 2 mos ago it became so bad that she was bedridden and contemplating suicide. Drs all told her to quit BF her 9 mos old son. This relationship is the only reason she didn't overdose on pain meds. Dad was positioning baby at mom's breast in bed and rolling her over to feed other side as she couldn't even roll over. She found a source for a ginger dietary supplement which helped immensely. She can now walk and care for her children with help,however her symptoms come and go. Has anyone encountered anything like this before. Any research or anecdotal information would be welcome and appreciated. E-mail to list or privately if more appropriate TIA Cheryl L Tompkins.CLC
