Hi all,
Have been trying soooo hard for the last 10 months to get control after more than 9years of this awful illness and the consultant did say if I couldn't get control that he asked if I would consider the pump. As I want a family in a year or two a pump seems the way forward for control. I think it would also help when the baby would demand my time and would have time to look after myself.
My question is, are the pumps funded by the NHS or do I have to fund privately?
Also, doc mentioned I would have to spend about a week in hospital whilst adjusting, is this correct to other peoples experiences?
