I hope I don't have to quit BFing =(

I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago for a headache that didn't go away after my migraine flare up. She said it didn't sound like a sinus infection and gave me some anti-allergy stuffs. I also had some bloodwork done. Yep. My results are aaaaall jacked up. I have an appt next week and a call into my endocrinologist.

Physically I feel like crap. I've had a headache for almost a month now and I'm taking Darvocet and Motrin almost daily. I've also developed joint stiffness and muscle aches, which is weird and not at all consistent with hyperthyroid. It's also probably not a side effect to any of the medications I'm taking like I though it might be. It could be due to my elevated potassium levels though. The medical assistant wouldn't even tell me my other results over the phone and simply glossed over it saying "She just really needs to see you about them" But seeing as how she was willing to let me wait until next week, it can't be life threatening right!?

My main fear right now is that I may need to stop BFing ahead of my 6 month goal. Keeping in mind that it's every bit for Emily because of our family history of allergies. I have 400oz in the deep freeze but that wouldn't even last her 3 weeks. I'm just so sad that breastfeeding is working out so well this time around and my body is conspiring against me in other ways  =(

Whether you stop BFing or not, I hope you feel better soon.

Three months is already a good amount.  I'm hoping alongside you that you can continue, but is all else fails, three months is a great run and will really have an impact.

Take care!!!

That sounds stressful! I hope it's nothing serious.

I hope that you get to feeling better soon. Don't feel bad if you have to quit BFing, your health needs to be taken care of too!!

Boo. I'm so sorry and hope you get better soon.  I can't imagine going through a constant pain like that with a toddler and infant.  Wishing you the best.
