No. Pump. Alarms. Last. Night.
I don’t know why I need to put in a 100% charged battery every night before bed (these batteries are supposed to be good for 72+ hours) but that’s the solution. And it’s easy!
It has been a full week, so I’m calling it SOLVED! And the problem is not me! Happy dance!

Good morning friends!
I think we’ve solved The Case of the Mysterious Nighttime Medication Pump False Alarms! It was Dave’s unused but plugged in CPAP machine phoning home with diagnostics at night.
We need a few more alarm-free nights to be certain, but all the clues add up perfectly. I’ll fill this post with hashtags for anyone else who has this problem and will also write a detailed blog post full of useful keywords.

My medication pump did NOT wake me up last night 😳 (I’m awake much too early anyway because I woke up and started analyzing why it hadn’t. THANKS, BRAIN)
Also, I forgot to wear my Apple Watch last night.
Coincidence??? Time will tell. (See what I did there?)
Good news, everyone! I ran an experiment to see if my pump would warn me if its medication cartridge was empty (despite the display telling me I had many hours of medication remaining) — and it does! So there’s one thing that it **obviously** should do that it **actually** does. I wish I wasn’t surprised 🙄
At least I know if it says I’m getting my meds, I truly am. #PAH #Remunity #Remodulin #PulmonaryHypertension
My pump woke me up twice but all before 2am so I was able to fall back asleep. I guess this is my life now.
From now on, you can assume I’m woken up several times in the middle of every night. I’ll stop reporting unless it’s egregious.
I will let you know if it DOESN’T wake me up. 🤣 #PAH #Remunity #Remodulin #PulmonaryHypertension
Guess who has been awake since 3:45am because of medication pump alarms.
Now they have me swapping out the internal, once-a-year batteries (which, luckily, they already shipped in case this happened again with my “new” equipment). #PAH #Remunity #Remodulin #PulmonaryHypertension
New #blog post is early today. http://kayray.org/2023/01/19/torstai-10/
