Your story is my story exactly. My husband and daughter have asked them to put me on a pump but they won't do it. He does give injections to block some of the abdominal nerves that can last for two days to a week but then watch out. My friends are holding a benefit to get me to Celebration Hospital but my parents think they are not reliable or everyone would have heard of them. I have lost the support of everyone in my family except my husband who has a heart condition but is selling everything to get me to Florida. I'm just trying to hang on till we can get there because I am very very sick right now. Hang in there. I know what you are going through and it isn't your fault it is ignorance on the doctors part in your state. I live in Oklahoma and it is unbelievable here. God Bless you, you will be in our prayers!
