I'm new to this page.I just looking to see if anyone else is having as much of a hard time as I have had my pump for a long long time I have had about 4 other pumps put in the one that I have in at this time has caused me to have OD'd for some reason the port's not closing or something but I have been OD'd five times with this pump one of the times I spent two and a half days in a TENS of care with a Narcan drip to bring me back alive still scary because I'm not ready to die . I don't know what to do to keep the pump or take . There has to be something going on with the pump for it to be letting the medication out like it is . Does anyone know what can do.

@catgmom9 I have no overdosed with my pump(have had it over three years with no pain relief except for one day). My only negative effect has been nausea and vomiting. I'm not even sure the vomiting is an after effect of the hydromorphone in my pump. I know that after I had it amped up to 4.2 mg/24 hours, I had a sudden series of vomiting. I also experienced vomiting after my two trials. First with morphine and the second with the hydromorphone. It seems very odd that this keeps happening. No one else on this site seems to have experienced this same side effect. Am I the only one. How about you?
