Hi Sarahjane, any chance you could give me a bit of info on how you went about getting a pump. I ask my doctor and he had no idea.....to be fair I suspect he was just some random man who had installed himself in a office. He wasn't very well informed about anything! I was just curious about how easy it was to get one and how you went about it. Many thanks. Oh and sorry to hear about your neurapathy....it sounds bad. Do you regret getting the pump?
