    This is why we should not allow third parties, especially the government, to come between doctors and their patients. The job of medicine is to alleve suffering, or so I thought. Why are innocent, law-abiding people being made to suffer for the risk taking illegal behavior of others?

      Because the innocent always suffer from the acts of the unjust. Millions of people also die from alcoholism but the government has no issue with this as they saw what happened during prohibition yet did not seem to learn anything . Those that abuse opiates their life deteriorates but those using them correctly for pain control their lives improve-big difference

      I had Polio in September 1951 I was 6 months old both legs and my right arm was affected I wore braces for the first 15 years then surgeries then back and braces and 92 on both legs and crutches and a scooter. At some point I have a ruptured disc in my lower back but pain running down my left leg. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 I was stage 3A 5.2 CM tumor grade 3. I had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. In 2009 I had three discs in my neck fused. For years I had arm and neck pain. I used to sew for my grandkids, I used to paint and draw. I sold a painting online for $40 years ago. My arms are wore out from lifting my body 70 + years. I am not able to lift my arms higher than chest level. I can't pick up anything with my right arm without dropping it. I rarely cook as even the I have my scooter that has the power seat that lifts me high enough to cook but my right arm has been burnt a couple times due to not being able to hold it high enough to stir or turn over something. I mainly eat frozen tv dinners or sandwiches. My scooter is very old and torn but the scooters Medicare will pay for don't come with that option. If you need it, you have to pay $1,000 out of pocket.
      I was diagnosed in 1986 with post polio Syndrome. I was having chronic pain in my arm muscles. I was falling and extremely tired. I was working in the Cardiac Cath Lab at the VAMC. Doctors at Uni varsity of Michigan had hoped they could keep me working for 5 to 10 more years but the pain got so bad along with extreme fatigue and had to retire in 1990. PPS causes patients to lose 10% of their muscle strength a year. While I was working full time, I was also taking classes at night at University of Michigan Dearborn. I had already dropped out in my junior year due to the pain and fatigue. I was working on my Bachelor degree and Secondary teaching permit.
      Doctors kept me on pain meds to keep the pain down so I could work. My arm muscles would ache constantly because I had to use them my entire life to lift myself as I didn't have the strength in my legs. After I retired my income was cut in half when I went on disability. I babysat more children than I can remember, I rent a room out for years.
      I was divorced with two daughters and a house payment. I didnt go to college until my daughters were old enough to stay home alone. The arm pain isn't near as bad as the back pain. If I'm awake, I'm in extreme pain. As I've aged and have lost so much muscle strength, the pain in my upper arms arent as bad now because I'm not able to sit up very long as not being able to get up and down, I pretty much live in my bedroom.
      My doctor has taken away most of my pain meds and even what theh were giving me still wasn't allowing me to function. I still have to take Advil and extra strength Tylenol several times a day.
      I have been on pain medication since I was working but as the pain would worsen I'd would beg the doctors to strengthen the meds or prescribe something else that it was not keeping the pain down. Since the cancer in 2007, I was diagnosed with cancer in the remaining breast.
      I had had all I could take. After several leg surgeries from polio, the ruptured disc, the arm and neck pain knowing the doctors wouldn't treat the pain, I declined treatment. I wanted it to run its course and relieve me of constantly begging the doctors to help me. I just to this day have no desire to continue living in bed. I have 8 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. I used to have them over, stay the night riding them on my scooter to the park. I've not been able to due that for several years as the sidewalk cracks cause my back UNBEARABLE pain.
      Now that they have reduced the psin meds I was relying on to live a life halfway normal, visit with my family. I think of suicide ide every single day.
      I'VE NEVER abused my pain meds. Ice signed the drug affidavit, I've told them many times come to my home ANY TIME DAY OR NIGHT for urine or blood. Nothing I say does anything. They treat me like a drug addict. I truly dont know how much longer i can continue. This is not life. This sleeping (i put myself to sleep when i can't take the pain) has gotten to the point my dreams are my
      social life then I wake up take anti depressants.

    Was on opiates for over a decade. I was able to even walk up to a kilometer in a good day.
    My new doctor refuses to prescribe them. Now I can make it from my bed to my recliner, and that is about it. My ability to function has decreased greatly.
    Our country is actively protecting the illegal opiate poppy fields in Afghanistan, while taking away pain meds from patients.
    I can understand the fight against illegal drugs. However going after pain patients is driving a population to the black market for relief from pain.
    This is inhumane

It’s great for pain or anxiety or depression. It’s like having unlimited pain killers without side effects. Get the trainwreck strain from Yokratom it changed my life to be able to buy unlimited pain killers for a super cheap price. I hope it’s helped you. 5 million to 6 million take it daily in USA. It helped many women and many men that I know. Saved people from alcoholism because it gets rid of cravings for alcohol or other drugs. It’s so awesome and it’s more euphoric than oxycodone and methadone and suboxone and better for pain and literally is so awesome. Give it a try.

    @AnitaSperoDesign Před 5 lety +63

    I guess I was lucky? My doctor stopped prescribing due to being threatened for to long. After 14 years of being on Norco everyday he took me off using the proper method with Suboxone. I only needed it for 5 days. It has been about a year and I've never craved the medication. But now my life is lost. On the Norco I started a business. I have been so proud because I started it with 20.00 and it grew fast. I could drive again and even work out. I was eating and sleeping. Now I have no idea who I am. Every doctor tried to put me on anti depressants. But I am not depressed. I think for what happened to me sadness and anger are normal emotions. I fear diabetes. It runs in my family. I am almost always sedentary now and gaining weight, Very different than when I was a body builder and trainer. I gave up driving. I sleep very little and eat very poorly. I can't eat in pain. Now I'm dealing with PTSD from doctors. I had one doctor scream at me. He didn't even bring my file into the room. He didn't even know my name. He called me desperate and an addict and said he was cutting my meds to less than half per day. It was horrible. The staff let me leave to drive home- even though I was having a panic attack and an SVT. My only thought was "I'm losing my business, my livlihood". The next doctor demanded an MRI of my back. I explained that I did not want an epidermal (they are not FDA approved). My back isn't even my worst pain issue. He yelled at me on the phone and hung up. Then a female doctor put me on several anti depressants at one time. I ended up in the ER with serotonin syndrome.So, I have serious white coat issues. I'm am slowly losing my business. I'm trying and don't want to give up. I understand why people are committing suicide. It's not like retiring. You aren't prepared. In a week your life just changes. It's gone. I always tell ppl' that are not in pain...have someone tap on your forehead for a month straight. While you try to eat, sleep, talk on the phone or make big decisions. See how well you concentrate after a month. It's not just the sensation of pain, but it brings madness to your life. I spend much time watching t.v..trying to just focus on the t.v to try to drown out the pain. I can't even read well now. My concentration is poor at best. I am so terrified of doctors that I broke my nose several months ago and fixed it myself. Last month I dislocated my shoulder and again fixed it myself. I respected the medication I was on. I was so thankful. After years of all kinds of therapies, medications that did not work and I was even scammed into trying things like body magnets, copper bracelets, infrared therapy, acupuncture several times and more. I'm not ready to just be a meat suit sitting on the sofa, with a brain that wants to do so much in life. I have another grandchild coming, number 5. And all I can think is 'another grandchild I can't play with or babysit. "They" never made a follow through for us. Once this started there was all kinds of things to help addicts. But we are left chronic pain criminals. Sadly this issue is having a snowball effect. People don't trust doctors anymore. I even know a group of women that are doing home births with no medical help. This is infecting everything. It has not slowed down drug abuse and suicides have increased. I can't believe my countries medical system is doing this to us.

      It's amazing to watch some of these documentaries (Kensington, Philly is one of MANY) about addicts shooting up in broad daylight, cops riding by occasionally to ticket someone who didn't have their seatbelt on over their shoulder, properly. It's like we're living in the Twilight Zone.

    I have chronic pain due to degenerative disk disease and bad knees and
    have been seeing pain management doctors for excellent treatments and
    medication since 1994, and the older I get, the worse my back and knees
    becomes with age. Back in those days, they were not under the gun by the
    DEA and CDC like it is now. I started noticing the changes after 2010
    when it comes to doctors prescribing pain medications. One quit due to
    the harassment of the DEA and was fed up, and now my most current pain
    management doctor said he is quitting too for the same reason, even
    though they are not doing anything illegal. To the DEA, we are all bad
    people and need to watched. It is sad. I don't know what I will do if I
    can no longer get the treatments I have been getting all those years and
    was grateful for those treatments and pain medication that get me
    through each day. I always dreaded the day may come when I no longer can
    see a good pain management doctor. They are becoming fewer and fewer
    due to the governments harassment of them and new doctors don't want
    that hassle either, so they are not going into the pain management
    field. If anyone gets "Consumers Reports", they are on the anti-pain
    killer band wagon, and have been for years.. The June 2019 issue was on
    chronic pain and they recommend "Mindfulness" (whatever the heck that
    means), do yoga, get better sleep, or see a therapist". You gotta to be
    fricken kidding me! Get better sleep to help rid of the pain? Right, I
    am in agony and expect to get better sleep? Yoga? I can hardly bend my
    knees. And for "Mindfulness, right!I i got a "mindful" dealing with my
    pain! And therapists? They are absolutely useless for chronic pain
    sufferers. I saw a therapist before I was recommended to a pain
    management doctor by my first back doctor. Those "Therapists" are almost
    an insult with their recommendations in dealing with pain. "Go do what
    you enjoy to ignore the pain!" It is the "pain" that prevents me, and I
    am sure of other pain sufferers from "enjoying" things in live. Unreal.

      its was less than that, if you remove the figures of those that USED opioids to commit suicide or say someone ODs on cocaine but the autopsy report shows a trace of opioids in their system, the CDC counts that as an opioid death. even though it wasnt the cause, as long as its there it counts.

      Kim Miller hey! Nice to meet you! That’s what I’m doing, while my husband just got done golfing and is now at a baseball game. I’m trying to get in the shower. Going in the drawer for a clean pair of pj’s, led to me cleaning out the drawer for stuff to go to the goodwill. So, now I’m back on an ice pack waiting for the pain to subside so I can get in the shower, which I haven’t taken for a week. If I’m lucky enough to get that done, I might be able to put clean sheets on in a little while. Doesn’t matter tho, I’ll probably be up all night anyway, so even if I have to wait till 2-3am to get it done, that’s a victory for me! If not, my husband will do it for me tomorrow, but I really hate getting back to bed with a clean body and dirty sheets on.
      It’s beautiful outside, 60 degrees in Wisconsin is great, even my two cats were laying in the sun in front of the open patio doors.
      Even my neighbor asked my husband the other day if I was all right, and if I was still living here, she hasn’t seen me in so long. He said, yeah, she’s right in there, pointing to the bedroom window, lol, 🤣
      Ahhhhh......life is good, isn’t it?!?!?!
      Do you by chance know anyone that could come to my house and cut my hair? It’s been 2.5 years since I had one, and those DIY CZcams videos aren’t doing much for me anymore.
      Hang in there!!

Restrictions should be for acute cases, not chronic.

    I'm dealing with this issue right now. The reason I function as well as I do is because of the maintenance medications I'm on one of them being Tramadol (a low-risk narcotic). I am on my last prescription of this now and am due to run out in about 2 weeks. They are relegating people to a life of suffering. dehumanization, and degradation and nobody who legitimately needs these medications deserves to be treated like a criminal at one of those pain clinics. Pain is a symptom of many diseases. It should be viewed as no different from any other symptom and the medications for it viewed no differently from insulin for diabetes.

    I have spent last 30 years in severe pain. Was referred to a pain management clinic. They prescribed 15mg morphine sulfate twice a day. I was able to function with a lowered pain. I made 6 moves with my husband as well. Each new doctor continued the morphine for the next 16 years. Not ONCE did I ask for a higher dose! Not ONCE did I take an extra pill!! I didn’t think “ oh my, when will it be time to take another?” When I went to Kaiser in Northern California, they talked me into giving it up. I had NO idea how much the morphine had helped. The withdrawal was terrifying! 8 straight days without a minutes sleep. Then horrifying hallucinations! I was too afraid to walk into my bedroom! Well it’s been 7 years now. I kept the 9 pills left from my last prescription. I have saved them for emergency trips that I have had to make. I still have 2 left. Do I sound like an addict? I cry daily! I writhe and tremble with pain. I am completely suicidal and have fought desperately to not kill myself for the sake of my family. I think about how, when and where to do it. My biggest fear is failure and ending up more damaged and in a mental ward. I think of everyone else who is suffering!! I cry for you too. Even more than for myself. Trump started this meaning well but the person or persons who put this together made a murderous and cruel mistake. Also, I’ve never had alcohol, tobacco . Whew!!

We begin perhaps with SCI(spinal chord injury) but a decade later, the body has sustained more complications.Researchers learn more each year about the effects of pain. no matter how stoic the patient, pain patients need constant medical observation. Refusing care should be criminal.

    I don't like the way many doctors and the medical community have been treating CPP. I was told by one nurse practitioner that 3 of my urine test showed positive for (1) Minute amounts of alcohol were found (I am allergic to alcohol) (2) I didn't take any tramadol for the whole month.(3) I didn't have any flaurazam in my system. She insisted that flurazepam was for anxiety and not sleep.Tramadol was once considered a non opiate and was changed to an opiate. She was always stating she was in fear of losing her licence when Tramadol became an opiate and me taking it with a benzodiazepine. I never saw the urine tests and she blacklisted me as a drug dealer and stated in my records that I yelled, screamed , slammed doors and threw a fit when cut off. Another nurse practitioner took me when my doctor retired without telling me and said that pain meds don't work and cut me off cold turkey and than lied about it when questioned. No investigation was done. My partner who isn't even a pain patient was cut off cold turkey by a false positive and accused of taking morphine and told that he was a drug addict and to check into rehab. He had a poppy muffin the night before. He was taking a benzo. If these doctors and nurse practitioners don't feel comfortable treating pain patients, why can't they just be honest about it instead of accusing people of being drug dealers, addicts, blacklisting them and ruining their reputations. This Is just plain evil.

They give way higher doses of opioids to addicts than legitimate pain patients that don’t abuse their medication at all and stick to their strict pain control regimen. It’s ridiculous and evil and it has to end. The DEA and CDC played huge parts in criminalizing doctors that prescribed medications legitimately with legit reasons for legit patients and millions suffered as a result. We need to spread the word and reform health treatment and work on making an amendment that gives us the right to self administer pain medication as needed to treat pain and they can’t incriminate is for doing so because persecuting is for doing so is a cruel and unusual punishment for someone that is seeking to remove severe suffering from severe pain that you people will not understand unless they are in that situation themselves.

    The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. My pain clinic announced that they would have to cut every patients' dose to the 90mg morphine equivalent. My doctor also apologized for it, saying there was no medical reason for it. His group had a new administrator who insisted all the docs comply with the 90mg rule. My only option is to accept the loss of function or have a pain pump surgically installed, which I am not prepared to do at this time. Pain patients are being punished for the actions of others, which isn't right. It also doesn't appear to be working with 100,000 overdose deaths last year alone. They compounded a tragedy with another tragedy by making pain patients' lives even more miserable than they already were. It makes you wonder how many pain patients decided it wasn't worth living anymore when their meds were either slashed or in many cases discontinued. I suspect that number is high. Doctors should be making those decisions on a case-by-case basis. The way this was done is cruel and inhumane.

      Please try Kratom. It saved me. It’s way better than oxycodone for pain and depression and euphoria and it’s legal. It activates beta opioid receptors without causing negative side effects. It’s great for pain or anxiety or depression. It’s like having unlimited pain killers without side effects. Get the trainwreck strain from Yokratom it changed my life to be able to buy unlimited pain killers for a super cheap price. I hope it’s helped you. 5 million to 6 million take it daily in USA. It helped many women and many men that I know. Saved people from alcoholism because it gets rid of cravings for alcohol or other drugs. It’s so awesome and it’s more euphoric than oxycodone and methadone and suboxone and better for pain and literally is so awesome. Give it a try. I buy mine from yokratom.com great quality and cheapest price I can find for kilos.

    My lumbar spine was fused at 12. I lived a normal active life but when I reached about 40 I started on opioids daily. My spine is stable but arthritic and after about 10 years of daily opioids I quit cold turkey for almost a year before going back to pain management to get back on them. Life w/o the drugs meant moving between the bed, the couch and the toilet. I'm back to working in the yards again and feeling better and happier. They constantly badger me to get surgery even though my fusion is stable. They should leave us alone if we are satisfied with our quality of life. They talk in the video about how "many" of the overdose deaths involve prescribed opioids but they don't tell you the vast majority DO NOT.

    Its one thing to refuse pain medication for someone who turns up with zero history and no 'proof' of pain, but to force someone who had 34 surgeries and has imaging to PROVE that they are in pain is downright disgusting and disturbing. If someone has nerve problems, cancer, surgery, fractures or anything that indicates pain, they should be treated for pain.

    The former medical director of UW states that the medical community has to take some responsibility for putting patients on the drug round the clock and that many chronic pain patients will possibly be “dependent”on them for the rest of their lives. In my state they created a grandfathered approach for those in intractable pain with no cure who need to take them. They are already dependent on them. There is a different between dependent and addicted. Even terminal cancer patients are being denied their right for compassionate use. That’s tantamount to neglect and cruelty IMO. As an RN 30 plus years I can attest that many patients need the drugs to maintain functional capacity. Without that they tend to feel abandoned by the very medical community they put them on these in the first place and often become depressed and despondent. Statistics show less than 2% of patients will become addicted.

Heck, I’m the “good pain patient” that has 2 Spinal Cord Stimulators implanted. But the relief they provide only allows me to sit up in my wheelchair.
