Michelle - the last few days I haven't had much stinging/burning in that nipple! I do believe that canesten cream has helped it so the thrush must have gone? Must have been caused by the thrush which is what my LC had said. She was right.
Phew!!

That's fabulous!!
Unfortunately for me the cooler weather is making my nipple a little more painful and it is turning white again after feeding. Oh well, layer upon layer upon layer of clothing and hope it stays manageable

Yep, had vasospasm badly in the early days. Both my nipples would go blue then white and send radiant pain into my breast. The worst was getting out of the shower OMG the pain! My nipples would shrivel and be so painful.
My problem was a VERY strong suck from bub, and a fast flow, so she would slip back on my nipple to cope and then damage the end. It went away once she was old enough to cope with the flow (and my nipples toughened up). It does come back occasionally though when bub is unsettled and I let her chomp on my nipple for comfort - the "boob dummy" idea.
I found a warm face washer really helped after feeds, and to keep the bathroom nice and warm!

i had vasospasm with DS. My mum, and lots of my family have reynauds so i guess i may have that as well, but not to the same degrtee they do, and it never showed up until I was breastfeeding DS.
Warmth is great, I had little warm packs and they helped.

Well, my nipple after a feed yesterday went sooo blue/purplish!!! OMGi got a fright. Then it went white
Some feeds it's fine other feeds it's sore!! I need to find a small wheat/heat pillow.
yes i feel it alot , but keeping warm is the only thing i can do .. i find the "boob dummy" awakens the vaso beast and i get huge amounts of pain .. i just take nurofen and heat packs every where with me (breast pad sized ones ) i also have flectalon breast pads .. but my boobs a not very big and the slide all around my bra and stick out .. lol ..
when im out at the shops i take a heat pack and heat them up in the mwave in the parents room ... helps alot ...
there is no cure , apart from the drugs you can take .. and you can wean from the worst side ..
i am tossing up weather to wean from my left or put up with the pain ... i dont plan on stopping BF anytime soon but its hard with the pain . there is a post i put up here https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...odgy-boob.html
its about my journey with Vaso ..
