That's just it. I honestly couldn't see myself going through it all (even for a pump) if I'd already improved some, and then had it done, and had to go back several times a year for infusions of the botox into the disc attached to the pump. Too time-consuming and too nebulous for me to seriously consider. And as my neuro said, it doesn't work in a lot of cases anyway. If it works for people, great! But it's not for me at this time.
