Much less blame-y. Or, in the long form, "If, after two weeks or so, you still want to curl up your toes and scream every time the baby nurses, something is wrong and you should seek help." <br /><br />I expect we'll try MORE nasty antibiotics now.

(Dripping with sarcasm, because it seems like it hurts at least a little for almost all of us, and even if it didn't, you're not doing it right is so totally unhelpful.)<br /><br />Anyways, this sounds like a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE experience. Like, WOW. I'm so sorry. I can't really imagine such an unending torment, but I hope your doctor comes up with something. <br /><br />I have to say, the idea of a migraine makes me die, and the idea of taking care of screaming children with a migraine...makes me want to kill someone on your behalf. bunnyhttp://glumbunny.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-656858258794420062012-09-02T10:00:12.723-04:002012-09-02T10:00:12.723-04:00... yeah, already been taking that for two months....... yeah, already been taking that for two months.
