Still having set problems

I don't get what's going on with me. Suddenly getting my sites to heal or last 3 days is like impossible. I had one site that totally abscessed and was very sore and inflamed- infected, basically. All of my sets are lasting 2 days before they're too sore to go on with. They all are getting red and puffy.

The current one has a solid inch of swelling around where I took it out. It stung like mad to bolus on, and it was less than 2 days old!

I'm using Silhouettes, and they're the sets that work best for me.

I've tried sure-ts (aka contact detach, aka rapid d). Those tend to fall out and I find them uncomfortable to wear.

Quick-sets and Cleos had too many delivery problems.

Insets I couldn't get to stick to save myself and I got hives from the adhesive requiring me to layer on the IV 3000.

Soft-sets hurt like a mofo one of the times I tried them, and were find the other time I tried them.

I've also tried a few lesser known ones that I can't even remember the name of, but they're not made anymore.

Overall I'm wondering if I'm even meant to be a pumper.
