Generally they don't, but apparently my body is too small to be a "regular candidate" for the pump. I'm 5'2" and 115 lbs...and loosing about a pound a week due to the ongoing digestive issues.
There is a smaller one that can specially ordered (more expensive) but I'm still not sold on the idea of getting something that is an oddity or having something the size of a hockey puck tucked into my belly.

The injections provide good relief for around a day and then slowly the spasticity returns over the course of a week. It does give me a break from the pain of them though; and sometimes that is all that I need to feel less hopeless.

Thanks for your input my friends. I think that I may just have been venting though.

With love, Erika
