I've been on IV PACs twice. The first following a muscle transplant & graphing 16 years ago, hooked up for about 24 hours. The most recent was with Dilaudid this past July for nearly a week due to a severe RSD flare. Withn 36 hours all symptoms were under control. It helped immensely but made me severely nauseous and nearly 7 months later my appetite has not returned and my eating habits (amount & frequency) dropped drastically.

surgically implanted- trying to cut out oral medication- works OK- not as good as I hoped

Medtronic.

After 3 years we finally have the type/dosage right

Was the best aid, continuos morphine sulfate. Have been trying to wean off but has pain has returned with such a vengence am probably going to return to treatment.

I received good pain control after a year of trials in '97 but moved from province and changed doctors and now very little pain control due to changes by new pump doctor

Has alleviated most of the pain. Life has somewhat returned to normal in the home. Determined disabled for remainder of life.

This works for a period of time and then your body gets use to it. It is no helpful for nerve pain, but it's about the only thing that helps somewhat

want to know anyones experience with it

This is implanted in my body to give me pain meds at a certain time. It really doesn't work but I guess it is better than nothing.
