Hi ladies,
So I'd really like to continue to breastfeed but I am having some serious health issues (i'll go into them later in case they're relevant) --- and I can't treat them because apparently nothing is safe enough.
So my issues have just been getting progressively worse, but I don't know what to do as my baby will not take a bottle, sippy cup, anything. She only wants the boobs. And sure I don't mind sacrificing for now, but I am really falling apart lol, and I'd like to be able to function well for her and my boys later on too!
I don't know how to get her to accept such things, to at least gradually get her off breastmilk and onto some kind of formula.
Beyond that,
I don't know if there's anything safe to take whilst breastfeeding (I haven't even been properly diagnosed for something! It's driving me crazy, I'm done with being told it's just stress and anxiety ---
I have a sleep study ordered [as when I try to fall asleep I have to manually breathe --- my throat constricts, my lungs feel weak --- I keep gasping for air, and then a panic attack ensues... it's really becoming torture, it can take me hours to fall asleep --- I can feel and hear my heart beat in my left ear and it pounds for so long, I get so dizzy and my blood pressure drops to around 63 over 50 ugh --- then when I FINALLY get to sleep my baby needs me lol... and I get so nauseous and cold sweat and blargh --- but I don't even think I can do the sleep study as she needs me in the night) --- and I need a head MRI as the head ct scan was normal but I was told it couldn't see everything, but that's not for another two months ugh (I have constant numbness tingling in my face, feet and hands for no obvious reason --- my legs keep giving out when I walk, I keep experiencing random hot spots everywhere [always in the same stop on my toes though], my mental capacity is taxed and I sound terrible when I try to have conversation lol, I constantly have chest and back pains, my tongue feels sooo swollen all the time and heavy, and I have so much face and head pressure and pain [no congestion though?! no signs of infection]) --- I don't know what I could take with all that crap going on? Doctors wanted to prescribe me sleep meds but can't --- and even still, I feel like there's something else going on.
Sorry for the long post xoxo.
