Hi Carrie,
Thanks for the welcome. I have 3 medications in my pump. I have clondine, bupivacaine and dilaudid in my pump. They aren't working really well though so I might start trying cone snail venom in my pump. It's a bit risky for my, so it's on the back burner for now. I also still take oxycontin, percocet for the pain and phenergan for the pain. I live in California in the very most northern part. Thanks for the advice. I just really don't want any excess surgeries. And I do tend to worry a bit.  I wish you strength and joy through this hard time.

if u dont mind me askin what do u have in your pump.. i have fentanyl and on the 6th i will also have maricaine 1% . i have had my pump since 04... and replaced in in the same time u had yours... where do u live ..? i live out side nashville.. tn
