I know this video is older but... I'm a GMFCS III diplegic, and new pump patient. I'm also an epidemiologist. It took me a decade of research and decreasing functioning before the pro/con balance tipped towards ITB therapy for me. No regrets so far, but I'm relieved to hear infection in ITB CPers is a priority for CPRN.Watching this, I feel a bit vidicated and less like a pest for all the infection protocol questions I asked my surgeon.

I have to take 60 miligams of Baclofin a day by mouth. After 41 years getting this diagnosis after the TBI at age 5. I’m really struggling now. Hard to have the medical coMmunity to understand.
