Ok... There's more than one thing I don't like... But I Hate when I get a clogged duct! I've never had mastitis, but if I ever get a clog I instantly feel sick.... Headache, chills, achey ugh!!! It was in one spot yesterday and a different spot today!
I have been lucky to not have any clogged ducts or mastitis so the thing I hate most is how freaking hungry I am. All. The. Time. It is worse than when I was pregnant!
Good luck with your clogged duct. Hope it clears out fast.
I had lots of clogged ducts with my first children. Try to keep massaging it (which hurts worse, I know), and if you are overfull from LO eating less (nursing strike, decreased appetite, etc.), express some milk by hand. I hope you feel better soon.

I was having this problem, I think due to baby sleeping through the night (lucky I know) and the milk supply backing up during this sleep time. I ended up with mastitis and it was horrible. I started setting my alarm for 12:30, and now I wake up and pump every night. I still get a good amount of sleep, but no more issues with clogged ducts. Plus I have a very nice back up supply of milk for those days baby is extra hungry or I'm away longer then expected, etc.
