Dan the pump is about the size of a padlock and fits under the skin in your belly area. Pumps are not new, they have been around for more than a decade. Using a pump requires a fraction of the meds as it directs the baclofen directly to the spine. Some in the group, have pumps. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/3/2016 3:54:22 P.M.

My doctor was going to research other meds and look into the best thing for me and get back to me. Are pumps hard to deal with? I dont know anyone with one or much about them. -Danny -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Bad spasms need help!

I'm on the max dose of Baclofen my doctor wants to prescribe and I also take Tiazadine. It makes every spasm very scary because I struggle to take a breath. ;( -Danny
