Hi, I've had the Medtronic pump for a little over a year. I wasn't getting the relief I recieved in my trial throughout this time. In fact it felt like no relief. But it did help other pain. I felt the Doc missed the catheter mark from the trial. Several weeks ago I finally got a dye study to check the catheter placement. He said it was correct and bumped my dose. Now im of the understanding one of the benefits is the drug doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. I was fine the rest of that day but I had a crazy dream that night, woke to an awful putrid smell thats still here weeks later, shivering chilled to the bone, sweating, low grade fever that won't go away, and my mind is wacked! Im not in here! Oh and I now have constant restless leg my requip won't work. Migraines won't stop. Weak as all get out. Can barely take a shower on my own. And that wipes me out for the day. Ive been to the ER 3 times. Hospitalized for 3 days. No one can find anything. My son and husband have moved and cleaned everything trying to find a source, nothing. I have morphine and bupivicaine in my pump. Oh, but my lower extremity pain in now gone. I just feel completely numb and have restless leg constantly now. But my big question is, it shouldn't be messing with my mind right? I shouldn't be getting side effects like im taking pills, right?
