My pump saved my life and continues to do so. It gives good pain relief and reduces the side effects of the large doses of narcotics. Also, everyone (doctors nurses and pharmacists) breathes a little easier because the dose is so small - the annoying issue of addiction becomes a non-issue. that alone is worth a pump.

The problem of tolerance still there. It is not a miracle cure but overall the best treatment I have received for this horrible disease.

Pump implanted in 2003. I'm doing OK.
