I'm a person with lots of ailments....mainly small ones, but ailments none the less. When I was pregnant, they all got blamed on the pregnancy. Now that I'm breastfeeding, I blame them on breastfeeding. It's not that I'm sure breastfeeding is causing them, but more hopeful that it's from breastfeeding because that way the ailment would only be temporary. Here are some of my current ailments:
1. arthritic hands
2. inability to wear my wedding ring due to a weird rash that appeared under the ring. It is now turning into cracked skin.
3. Eczema patches on different placed of my body.
4. Thirsty and hungry all the time
5. An intense craving for chocolate (oh wait...I've always had that)

WORD, about the arthritic hands! I remember having my hands cramp up when I wrung my hair out after showers.
Not to mention the carpal tunnel wrists I got from holding Baker's head while I fed her.
These pains will make weaning her (when the time comes) all the sweeter.
I won't even embarras myself listing my breastfeeding side effects! And L didn't wean completely until 13 months! Hang in there!
I was getting a rash under my wedding ring also...and we know it's not from breastfeeding! If you don't already...make sure you take it off at night before you go to bed and everytime after you wash your hands make sure you take off your ring and dry underneath it. Once I started doing those things the rash went away and hasn't been back.
