2016 Cdc Guidelines For Prescribing Opioids For Chronic Pain (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

Hey all fellow patients out there, did you know the CDC has published a list of their proposed 2016 guidelines for doctors who prescribe opioids for chronic pain? That includes oxycodone, lortab, percocet, hydrocodone, opana, suboxone, morphine, and any other drug that has an opiate ingredient in it that so many of us count on to lead normal lives! This affects all of us and the comment period ends on January 13 2016! That's about a week from now! You know the doctors are going to have to follow whatever federal rules pass so if you are worried that you might not get the care you need please go to the gov web site for the office of the Federal Register and submit your comments to them before it's too late! "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the opening of a docket to obtain public comment on the draft CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain (Guideline). The Guideline provides recommendations regarding initiation or continuation of opioids for chronic pain; opioid selection, dosage, duration, follow-up, and discontinuation; and assessment of risk and addressing harms of opioid use. The Guideline is intended to be used by primary care providers (e.g., family physicians or internists) who are treating patients with chronic pain (i.e., pain lasting longer than 3 months or past the time of normal tissue healing) in outpatient settings." https://federalregister.gov/a/2015-31375 Editor's note: Please note that the above statement "You know the doctors are going to have to follow whatever federal rules pass" is technically correct but may be misleading in this case because the CDC draft says that it is "not a federal regulation" and that "adherence to the Guideline will be voluntary." Editor's note # 2: The title for this discussion thread has been updated to reflect the topic most effectively.

Robert R., when you say you're disabled, do you mean that you receive SSI or SSDI ? The reason I'm asking is because if you do, SSI comes with Medicaid and SSDI comes with Medicare. Did you say that you have insurance through ACA, or did I misundersand ?

BL and spyz, the amount post was in reponse to what you so graciously took time to respond to one of my previous posts, before it all went insane. Spyz post caught attention I was told way different about what could and couldn't be covered. We all know the more education the better when dealing with ins/doctor's etc so any information I get is appreciated.. however I never remember blaming only Obama in posts. there is far more than that going on.. besides, I only post what I am personally told or have read and your inputs have been valuable some for clarification some just to vent to people going through same issues. The cdc post was what doctor warned me about however he was thinking medicare next he didn't think V.A. he is fearful that if successful all insurance will be mandated and it infuriated him any good dr. knows we are all individuals. I do have good care however all learning together what can be done and can't. Thankfully they have seen me for years and know I don't take free rides. Always got yelled at for pushing to hard pain and bad luck got best of me. If I judge my whole life on a few bad months might as well roll over and die. Also thankyou again for kind word Robert.

Wow the 1 who knows anything you obviously never read my posts or just don't know how to read...Again let's make this clear Obama's name has not been written in posts.
2:) I never said I was allergic to everything.

You are purposely acting ignorant so other people can not have a true discussion which this post was designed to do.
Spew all the B.S. you want to thankfully I have faith that there are quite a few more people that know not only how to read but most importantly can comprehend and most of them have seen many previous postings and are intelligent enough to know. Attacking people till they are afraid to talk fortunately is not working. Come back in 15 years when common sense kicks in hopefully we can have more of an intellectual conversation. Calling people addicts that yout don't personally know let alone have not fully read is truly sad. I will no longer read your posts nice thing about it. Soon enough commonsense posts will out way yours. To many people are sickened by the sterotype you put on people in need.

Sorry to anyone that has more stress in life than reading these senseless posts. Getting attacked out of nowhere on a bad day. Normally don't reply to them. Not sure what post is being referred to even. Going to read posts that are worthwhile now =)

P450! Where is P450? Last I saw him or her on here he said something about wanting to die with dignity and only had a few days left--P450 are you still out there???? Let us know please. If not, may you spend eternity in the presence of the one true healer Yahweh!

Ok and folks, everyone here has said it before but I'll repeat it in case you missed it--everyone has a different tolerance and pain level. Doctors do NOT give what you need but only what they are comfortable giving. Line Doctor Robert Cochran said in his book The Opiate Cure-..."it may seem paradoxical but we can solve the addiction problem by prescribing more opiates, not less. That way dealers have less profit, patients needs are met and folks with more pain don't come off as addicts."

Wow there is a lot of anger in these comments. It's safe to say we are all dependent on these meds. Everyone needs to take a xanax and chill.

Robert you riding with the Angels is not impressive to me. I said what I said to jenny because it's typical of an addict to blame blame blame. She blames Obama for her not getting the drugs she wants. She is on public assistance so why complain about Obama care when she's already getting a free ride. She called e a troll so I called her what I called her. And as far as lily I simply stated that's because 1 Dr had you on that any meds doesn't mean the next will. People on this forum complain because they can't seem to get the absurd amount narcotics that they are used to. Complaining hey are allergic to everything except for oxycontons morphine and percocet. Unless you are terminally I'll nothing justifies that many meds. And if it was justified then why are they having so much trouble getting them. Here's an educated guess. The Dr doesn'tthink they are mnecessary. Hells angels are nothing more than drug dealing white trash who tries to intimidate those around them

To Some 1Who Knows, You Are Very Rude. I feel so sorry for u and Dana. Both of u Spew Name calling And it's indicative of a People Who truly Have no clue. I SAID OBAMA DID Not do This BY HIMSELF BUT HE DID HAVE A HAND OR TWO IN the Situation We All Find Ourselfs. I Will Not Judge Yall. I'll Pray That You Both Reflect The Cruel Things U Have Said To JENNY AND LILLY. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THERE SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN DISABLED SINCE 2000. I have taken OxyContin 40 mg x2day, Valium x3day, Floricet/Codeine x6day as needed. I got 90 day refills 180 270 540. Theses were my pill counts. I'm no Addict. I expect I'm much Older than Both of Yall. till u live in another's shoes Don't Be The Way u Are. It Shows A Mean spirit. I Hope Yall Are not like that. Maybe A Bad Day But Please Stop. You Both Come Off Very Mean. I rode with the HELLS ANGELS IN THE EARLY 70s. I Have Seen Mean. I Don't Think Yall mean to be this. I Pray U don't. Maybe U Say What u Think too Soon. DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOR. I CAN SAY THIS, I KNOW A PERSON IS SCARED SOMETIMES ABOUT OUR SITUATION BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIS AGREE AND STILL BE CIVIL AND DONT LAUGH AT A PERSON WHO HAS NO MEDICATION. IF U ARE A DR U HAVE NO RIGHT TO DEGRADE ANOTHER HUMAN. I HOPE AND PRAY FOR BOTH OF YALL that GOD Enters your Hearts. it will make a difference. I search My Words, Deeds And Actions. I No Longer Find Hurting Another Acceptable. When Young I Did not Feel This Way. That's why the Hells Angels I left it and I'm glad I did. Turned My Life Around. So Both of Yall think About The Name Calling And Please STOP IT NOW.

I'm not trolling. I'm just sick of the addicts ruining it for real patients. Your comments are only what an addict will say. Just be glad you're getting help for your pain instead of whining that the Dr won't give you what you want

For Some1whoknows nothing please research before spewing your ignorance on this page. I worked longer than you have been alive I didn't ask for this insurance if your do your research you have no choice I paid more taxes than you probably earned in your life and 4 months of all the working years you need glasses and do research on true addiction and chronic pain tolerate or would that be to hard for you?

Dear Some1whoknows absolutely nothing of which you speak. Has your mother ever told you if you have nothing nice to day don't say it. Or you raised to be purely ignorant.. would you like education or would it go over your head? I never used to word Obama first of all and also I have been working longer than you probably been alive.. started at 12 babysitting and only took time off to give birth to my children last job I went from a job I had for 3 years directly to this one for 8 solid years. I doubt you kept a job longer than the summer... I didn't ask to be stuck on thus insurance you fool and to call me lazy? My doctors can't believe I was walking let alone working because people like you wouldn't be able to endure pain I suffer.. you need to learn what the word addict means or is doing actual research to hard for you? I don't wish thus pain on anyone but maybe people like you need a taste of it be careful one day you may have to eat your words and it will be too late
