I think I found the person I was thinking of. If so, I remembered her symptoms completely incorrectly. She talks about her arm becoming numb and/or hurting while pumping, which is not good, but other than that her symptoms do not appear to have been caused by pumping. I genuinely do not understand why she attributed her symptoms to pumping and not something else. She says she experienced swollen lymph nodes, joint pain, and tiredness. These symptoms started a long time after she started pumping and did not reduce until a long time after she stopped. She took this as a sign that pumping had caused permanent damage, but to me it indicates that the pumping had nothing to do with it. At one point she says she felt like she was dying, but then the symptoms she lists are similar to the symptoms of a cold. I don’t want to downplay what happened to her, or demean her, but it just doesn’t make sense to me. A different person in the thread says that pumping was the cause of their acne, nausea, and stomach pains. Again I don’t see why these symptoms were attributed to pumping. You can come to your own conclusions. I don’t know if I should link to thread so I’m not going to. Make of it what you will.
