Re: << Study Finds Fibromyalgia Prohibits Sufferers From Breast-feeding
New mothers with fibromyalgia (FM) face multiple barriers to breast-feeding
their babies, according to a study published recently in the American
Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing.

...Because there is no cure, patients often
undergo physical therapy, counseling and medication to alleviate their
symptoms. Commonly prescribed medications include antidepressants,
ibuprofen and morphine.

Women living with this condition are faced with a difficult decision once
they decide to have children: to breast-feed or bottle-feed... But
since the drugs used to control FM symptoms may be harmful to newborns,
these women must either forgo their medication usage or give up their
dreams of nursing their children. >>



And the medications/types of meds listed above interfere with these women's "dreams of nursing their children" how? I must be missing something...
