- primekMemberOMG you poor thing how awful.
I'm going to ask this...and it's probably been looked at...but have they checked you out for diabetes or any other auto immune disease that might be contributing to your delayed healing.?
Have you considered a naturopath for ideas on anything that may boost your immune system?
Whats happening re your other treatment or is it all on hold?
Have they considered an antihistamine if its fluid not infection causing the issue? - ApprovedAnonymousThe user and all related content has been deleted.

- arpieMember@shann - that's a bugger - I hope things settle down soon.

Thinking of you xxx - SisterMember@shann I'm so sorry to hear that it's still ongoing for you.
- kmakmMemberI'm so sorry @Shann that things haven't improved for you. Absolutely dreadful. Sometimes searching for meaning in a random universe will do your head in, so make sure you give yourself a mental break every now and then. I'm holding out hope that one day things will be better. K xox
- shannMemberHi all, hope everyone is doing great. Since my last post, not much has really changed. I am on 1 pump which is an improvement. Last friday 13th they thought the pumps had done enough and took them off ...... but as usual 3 days yes only 3 days I was back at the hospital with 5 new openings and the main one had doubled in side so the pump was put back. Still no answers as to why it happens and no idea how to fix it or if it will ever heal. I have alot of thoughts that run through my head like I am going to be on this pump for the rest of my life, what have I done in my life that was so bad. I search myself for an answer daily as my surgeon won't, Don't know why I do it as he thinks what I find is rubbish and dosen't even read it or listens. How do you stay positive or think positive when things just keep going backwards. Now the nurse I had for the last 4 weeks or more has now given me to another one ...... so once again I have been palmed off as no one wants to deal with this ! Not sure about anything anymore.
- shannMemberNot as I have 3 openings and have 2 pumps. Asked surgeon why and he looks blankly at me, this happened after getting stitches out. So have come to the conclusion that this is me for the rest of my life with pumps on either side as no one has any answers and don't seem to want to try for any (as when I do they shut me down). But I will get by as I do. xx
