Man, I don't look forward to that. I had to wear an antibiotic intravenous pump for 8 weeks . Worse than a Catheter . I am sure it is worth putting up with to lose the off-time, but I would be doing a lot more complaining. Your a better man than me Gunga-din.

Keep smiling

My Dad has one it goes into the duodenum bypassing the stomach, meaning the medicine is much more consistent and independent of what he eats. . It is much better for him, he is at the end stages in nursing care and reliant on staff for medications

We also met with a much younger man with a pump, his results were better. The pump allowed him to be far more active. He was spending alot of the time I. The gym and was in amazing shape
