Not looking to dispute my situation here. I know the risks and that docs are often reluctant to order TPN, but its become a necessity for me. My body has been rejecting foods for a long time now and I'm now facing hospitalization to begin TPN next week. Possibly for good.

I'm feeling so many things. In the last years of her life, Mom was on TPN for 5 years. She said she wished shed been on it sooner BC it drastically improved her quality of life. Ims looking forward to that after a very long exhausting battle with food and my body.

I'm also very scared. I don't know what to expect. But the things I do know right now are I'm scared about having to access/deaccess my port for TPN every week. Today I got IV fluids due to dehydration and the access process was so painful I cried and cried, as I realized this would be a weekly event for a very long time. I always feel...traumatized (??) When my port gets accessed. Its always painful BC its difficult to access. Second port I've had in 11 years BC weight fluctuation due to chemo/malnutrition over the years. They placed a new one a few years back BC of a significant tiltm this one is still hard to access tho.

Anyone else on TPN?

Happy to report, the new M4's arrived today (only took 3 days!!) And they are completely different. Tried them out, sounded great. And when I was ready to turn them off, they just...turned off, like they are supposed to. No endless attempts to pair. What a relief!

I've previously had good luck buying refurbished, however I might think twice next time. Doesn't hurt that the new pair was cheaper than the certified refurbished.

I bought a refurbished momentum 4 through Sennheiser, and was so excited when they finally arrived yesterday. This is my second pair of sennheisers. I previously bought I M3s and had to switch over BC they consistently give me headaches. Immediately could tell a difference when I tried them out yesterday. More lightweight and less clamping force. Yay!

One problem though--they won't turn off. At all. I've tried everything. Factory reset, adjustments to settings through the app. Eventually I ended up having to turn off my Bluetooth to my phone (which sucks BC I wear a watch to track my sleep for health reasons) and put it at the other end of our home! It woke me up because it was still making noise searching for a connection.

So I contacted Sennheiser, and realized...the refurbs are selling at MSRP for a new pair. Considering this is a notorious issue with this model, I wish I'd considered skipping the hassle and just buying new.

Lesson learned. With a heavy heart, I'm sending them back. I really wanted them to work out. Hoping I can return, get a refund, and get the pair I actually wanted.
