My husband has only been put on this as some pills gave him acid reflux and to stop him feeling and being sick.He is on low chemo and half of boots.
And blood thinners injected in his leg.
He's managing to eat and drink and says he has no pain even with the pump so they are decreasing the morphine.
The problem we have is the damm thing keeps going wrong beeping away like a fridge door has been left open.
Almost every evening night and usually about 4AM it goes off.He doesn't move in his sleep he puts it out of the way with the pipe tube away so he can't pull or tangle it. Luckily we have just been moved to a bungalow as I'm ill and disabled too.It has a second bedroom so we sleep apart so I can't pull out the leads with my tossing and turning.
Just been told district nurse is coming to reset it but is over an hour away. We don't know why it keeps going wrong each nurse blames the next:"Well I don't know who put this in but it's all wrong." To one that said : "God that would drive me nuts pull the battery out!."
Every time they change it they give us the pp3 (smoke alarm type battery) as "there's still lots of use in it and it's a shame to throw it away." We are keeping in a box got 11 so far and they are Duracell.
Has anyone else had such problems.
He's seeing his specialist on 10th and says he'll mention it.
It's awful neither of us sleep great but this is just so tiring.
