Are some problems unresolvable?

Hi Surprised,

I'm another vasospasm bosom buddy!

I just wanted to throw another suggestion in there - I'm taking a bresfeeding multivitamin plus fish oil and evening primrose oil, which, when used alongside some of the other suggestions you've been given (warmth etc) helps to keep it under control day to day. I do have the odd flair up, but generally this works for me.

I might go and buy myself some magnesium now though to add to the mic - thanks for that one Michelle!

Hope you get the pain under control soon!

Hi girls,

Thanks for your replies. I am finding the magnesium and calcium work really well. Still not pain-free, but vastly better than it was. Might try some fish oil/EPO too. At the moment I have thrush so it's hard to tell what pain is from what problem, but you do actually get to know the different pain sensations LOL! Michelle - the nifedipene is a nice thought in the back of my head if nothing else fully works.

Surprised, I have heard that thrush is sometimes the cause of vasospasm, so once the thrush is cleared the pain might ease, or even stop - fingers crossed!! How are you treating the thrush? It is important to treat your baby's mouth too.
