Hi Wendy,
I started on the Vyalev pump November 2025.
I was taking CL every 2 1/2 hours and a bedtime extended release CL .
There are many cannula injection sites on my belly where a hard pea size lump remains. Twice the injection site became infected and I was prescribed an antibiotic.
Have you experienced any of this?
I am interested in hearinf from you and others who are using the Vyalev ppump.

@wkrebs59 i've had my pump since FFebruary 9, 2024. It was rolled out in Januaary 2024 ain the EU. I go it so quickly because my Neurologist was on the board that reviewed and tested it.for release in the EU (I live in Germany.) I'm a lucky ducky!. Ooccasionallly my pump has had an 'episode' but she pulls herself together very shortly and we re-staart the process that we were trying to do when she had her little snit fit. In 2 years, I think that may have happend 10 times, and not all of them were her fault. One of the humans involved in the ptoccess --who shall remain nameless) was trying to do something and hit the wrong button and she ins(ists on having her buttons pushed in the correct order. Shes' not a mindreader But if it happens when you are sure that that the buttons have been pushed correctly more than once a week, you may want to just call the help desk; they will bring a replacement usually within 24 hours. If it stopped completely, then I would guess that the folks at the h lp desk have routines they can walk you though to get it running again. If that doesn't work, I'm sure that they would get a new pump our as quickly as they couldl. But I suggest 2 things: 1. Always have on hand a months supply of oral meds to (and a schedule that you had to followed before you got the pump. Also remember the bit abot fasting 2 hours before and 1 hour after pills. The level of l-dopa you're takng now may be lower than when yoou were taking pills, or your needs may have changed so yuor doctormay have to change the pill rouitine while you get the replalcement Normally, you would get the pump in 24 hours but if you live in Buffalo in the winter, or Floida during hurricaine season, there may be some difficultly getting your pump to you.. I always have a mnoths supply of pills on hand. and once a year I have my nerologist review the list to ensusre that the dosages will match the dosages you normall get from the pump. AND that would be a good time to check the expiration dates on your pills because you wouldn't want to think you had a god back-up plan and the pills that had been in your ccabinet for 10 years won't be of much use. If you live in Florida, you might want to have a go-bag ready n case you have to eacuate.And if you have the tiniest reason to think your pump is going hinky on you,get a repladement sooner rathe than later, So much easier to manage than under crisis conditions.

@wkrebs59 That's fantastic!
