[QUOTE="endocrinegremlin, post: 1329794, member: 196900"] It is nothing like the ones in hospital. The ones in your hands? Those hurt like a mf. I'd compare the initial set going in to when you get blood taken at the hospital. But once its in its in. I have my pump in a pouch around my neck at night, or down my bra during the day (they say one boob is always smaller so find that site and throw it in!) so it doesn't bother me but there are a world of options on how to store it to get the best rest you can. Some just shove it under their pillow tho. I don't find it itches, not unless I've left it in too long and need to change it and that just depends on the person. If you heal faster you will need to change faster as your body will try to start expel the site but if you don't you should get 3 days. Heat or cold can cause an itch but nothing too bad. [/QUOTE]
