Apomorphine pump

Hi all

i've been on ApoGo for about three years..

I was taken into hospital and stayed there for a  week to learn how to use the pump et cetera. PSN came  to see me early in the morning and she .gave me a  dose of the Apo-Go to see how I  reacted. I spent The rest of the week learning how to fill up the meds,,how to use the pump, I.e. put the pump on and put it to the correct doseage.  0.60mls through the night and 00:98mls all day. When you fill the syringe mustn't get bubbles.  Don't panic it isn't so bad.as I made out, you are injecting into muscle not a vein.   

The carer comes to my home at 8:00am on a timed visit which is when I take off the old and put on the new with a shower in between!  I have forgotten to put the pump on when i've changed and it is a horrible experience - going right off so now we have a BIG message at the front of the carers file reminding me to switch on, remembering how I felt feeling off so itit must be doing me good.

Better pack up now.

with best. wishes.    Casie
