This is a list to share information and support for those who use or are considering using intrathecal pumps and their loved ones. It is a group of laymen for the support of laymen relating their "real" life experiences with intrathecal treatment. Working email required for registration with list owner. A questionnaire will be sent which must be filled in order to activate membership. There is a general discussion of the pump in laymen's terms at http://www.geocities.com/hmdevos/ (link has likley gone down by yahoo ..will try to find a new home) In the meantime, it can only be read if a member (My apology)

***There had been a short-term delay with our Memberships Application Process. Everything should be working now. So if you have sent back your application form, but have not heard anything, PLEASE contact us immediately at pumpsters-owner@yahoogroups.com***

If you had or did have a problem with our membership application form, would you please let us know what bothered you,and how it might be improved? This is a private group and as such. we have an obligation to keep everything private. as best we can. Nor should there be anyone who joins with ill intentions. Yet, chronic pain and disease is such a horrible, degenerative process, we can't abide the thought that someone was not able to join the group. Perhaps this could be done more easily.
