Get the antibiotics asap!!! I went to the ER because I was so miserable (Granted it was a Sunday morning and I was already at the hospital with my babies in the NICU and there was no wait in the ER). You'll feel better within hours once you get the meds.

I sometimes still struggle with clogged ducts -- usually caused if a wear an underwire bra for too long or too tight of a nursing top. I've had to pop lots of blebs (milk blisters) to get things moving again. Oh, but the pure relief of an unblocked milk flow.

Antibiotics!!!!!! I was in so much pain, I wanted to go to the ER but the sensible hubs talked me out of it and I went to a walk-in clinic instead. I suffered for 2 weeks before seeking treatment because I thought it was normal...Pshh, how can pain-until-sobbing be normal???? And, like sandsandmore said, within hours of taking the first pill, I felt better.

Hope you feel better soon once you take the antibiotics. I am prone to having clogged ducts, and it made me miserable each time I had a clog. Sometimes it would take just a few hours to get rid of, and then there were times it would take a few days. When I had mastitis I had to go to the ER to get my prescription since it was a weekend. It still took me almost a week to fully recover.

I do want to thank you for your posts about your experience with clogged ducts with Charlie on your xanga. I read those posts while feeding my LO in the middle of the night and found it so useful. By the time I had my first clog, I went back to read over your tips. It was so helpful during such a painful first experience.

rest rest rest... i had it a few weeks ago, so i can empathize. i had the same symptoms as you, and the worse was not even having energy to get out of bed. keep up with sleeping and pumping... i know it's hard... hope you feel better very soon.
