Saw my midwife and lactation consultant today to see if we could be a little more proactive about the excruciating pain in my nipples. Over six weeks of breast feeding, and the pain isn't any better.

Today, they have both diagnosed me with Vasospasm ... possibly due to Raynaud's Syndrome. I am doing everything possible to find reflief: Ibuprofen, warm dry compress, not letting my nipples air dry, using my APNO & ointments, and starting a prescription of nifedipine.

Anyone else have experience with this? If so, did you take this prescription? Did it help? Did you continue breast feeding? Did the pain ever go away? I'm just wondering what the long term picture looks like here. Obviously, every case is different, but I'd love to hear any other experiences.
