The Give-Up Gremlin Is On My Tail

I finally have a solution to my nursing woes. Its a sweet, innocent looking pill that is normally used to lower blood pressure. I see it as a miracle worker, an end to the pain. As usual, things are not what they seem.

There is this nasty side effect that only one mother in the study (study done by Dr. Hale on the use of this medication by mothers with the same condition I have) had. Headaches. Explosive, seeing stars kind of headaches. The other pain is gone only to be replaced with this pain. Supposedly the medication works in most women with only a two week span of taking pills. So I can tough it out for two weeks, I can stop and try some homeopathic remedies (all of which require lots of time), or I can stop nursing. Can you see the Give-Up Gremlin? There he is, right next to me.

I know that can't be the answer and that surely this too shall pass. But the Give-Up Gremlin sure does look friendly right now.
