I am 60 and have lupus, fm and a myriad of other illnesses and I am up to hear trying to get relief from this pain that were I not a Christian, I would have gone through with taking my life. My husband and I own 3 businesses and I need to b able to FUNCTION. Even at a diminished capacity. Steroids work but can't get them either even tho I would rather have a good year or two. Lupus does the same to me that steroids do. While I realize that patients have lied to get opiates-- I hold the physicians mostly accountable for this crackdown ! They should be able to tell those in need of pain meds--if they can't , concentrate on first aid. Now we are in a crisis and I am so sick of this!! I think we should file a CLASS ACTION SUIT against the HMO 's and take the DEA to task for DISCRIMINATION! for it surely is!! People who r injured can get all the pain meds they need cause they r short term. I feel it is discrimininatory to deny those of us with chronic pain regardless of age etc., the same management. If they can't tell who needs these meds, I would offer to help them out. Ask anyone who has pain--they can tell who needs meds! We have law schools that may be persuaded to take this on minus costs as an ongoing internship for their students- if not we need to rise up. It is definitely discriminination! Since when r disabilities limited to public restrooms? Maybe the HMO's would find fighting a lawsuit more expensive than the drugs we need to function. I found no history that opiates were only intended for short term use and not everyone gets addicted. My thoughts are if these drugs that we need to function r to be withheld --we better have a LAWFUL REASON. We need petitions to politicians, a class action suit that I am sure we would win. I am tired of this pain so bad I don't want to live and even more tired of feeling like a drug addict , ashamed and put on the defense. No person who shouldn't have drugs should b able to get them. Oh and I was on sleeping meds, 8 mgs of dilaudid-120/mo, perc 10 for breakthrough pain (240/mo), some klonipin and more just 8 mos ago. I felt I was too immune to them and was afraid to have stronger meds--So I took MYSELF off everything so that I could start over. Unfortunately, I got rid of everything but the Pain! After 4 mos I kept thinking suicide so now I am on 15 mg Percocets. I am not a drug addict. I was addicted to nicotine but just put those down after 39 years. I now have my first visit to a pain clinic and am worried about maintaining my 15 mg percocet. I really think we should join together. Action speaks louder than words and I want some answers from the Dea and HMO' s. I know I didn't prescribe all these pain meds all these years, did many of you? Why r we being targeted? How about better training for doctors and getting the Dea off at least the pain management doctors back. Isn't that why pain clinics were started?

you can remove Center for Pain Relief from your referrals. Went there for 20 yrs, was on opiates this whole time. New Drs. come in and tell me I'm not in pain. Have all the mri's etc., to prove it. She is now taking me off meds. I'm 62, not a frequent flier, and now I won't be able to function again.

I moved here to Pittsburgh and had been in pain management for 16 years, went to Advanced Pain Management, I felt like a number and not a person! They did prescribe some meds all different than what I had been taking ended up in so much pain it was unbearable to put it mildly then they suggested or more like insisted on injections which as a person who has already had my share of that in past years and several surgeries told them I wasn't ok w that they threatened to take away pain meds crazy , I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who wants to b treated like a person all they want is money and office visits don't generate enough so beware

There are days when my eyes tear from the pain. I hate walking, i can't carry anything. Sometimes I sleep for more than 40hrs because I'm exhausted from the pain. My doctor at UPMC had me on Flexarol for years, but has decided I've been taking it long enough, won't prescribe it, and has not prescribed anything else. I literally have pain from the base of my neck to the soles of my feet. I will pretty much try anything.
