War On Chronic Pain Patients (Page 5)

Thanks to all you drug abusers there has been an ongoing war on us legit chronic pain patients. Thanks to all who abuse pills and alcohol, because of you they wage war on us. Street drugs are cheaper so why do you all have to mess with the pills and make life difficult for us chronic pain sufferers? Are you stupid or just self centered? Britain uses our military to protect Afghan poppy for people like you, so quit trying to cook up the pills. We legit chronic pain patients would really appreciate it, not that you care, but maybe when you stop acting so self centered, people will actually begin to care about you. You reap what you sow.

To stem cell labs worldwide: We need you to cure degenerative discs and herniations for those that want to be cured instead of on pain meds. Make yourselves known. We need options. We know you have the cure. We need the FDA to help make up for lost time.

S*** yeah, definitely she is definitely responsible. I know a woman, the exact date that her doctor threw her out off the pain management, she went to another one. Did the same thing but the only thing difference is the Vicodin. She orders Fioricet, Fioricet, Fioricet, and more Fioricet by mail-order. She took the whole bottle and that messed her up big time. The only reason why she's not crashing her vehicle anymore is because the vehicle blew up on the motorway, so she asked me to drive her around. It's very annoying. Life is very annoying. That's why my nickname for this site is probably what I should be.

Yes I agree with the doctors you don't need anything more stronger than aspirin if you just broke bones are car accident you don't need any opiate people like me with severe osteoporosis in my 40s and 50s probably they're my thirties major pain that causes baby not to peep some people that get osteoporosis naturally but mine was closed other ways than just naturally okay special I caused it myself unknowingly too late for that now wish I can go back change what I did to make myself get it but I can't I wish I can get my spine ripped open by a doctor and somebody flatten it down straighten it out and and put bone fragments in it so it's stiff as a board and don't move then I would just at that point I would starve myself into a nursing home and for the pain do whatever it's like a deal with myself then I can deal with other people that it's just way too much I just can't deal with life no more

Lori I don't think the attics are doing that I think it's no it's the government so as much as I don't like the addicts using opiate medication for people in pain like me or your husband I don't blame the attics for it I blame society the government the police think about it really think about it think before you say something I don't hear everywhere

Re: Poohsy (# 6)

People like you are a total a******. You don't even know what you're saying. Don't you know it's the government, not the addicts. The government, the police, Donald Trump, whoever the f****** ... addicts will be addicts no matter what. If they can't get an opiate they would go to anything from the street, alcohol, and more. You're an a****** buddy. Blame who needs to be blamed - You don't need to be on pain medication. People like me that need it I have major issues, OK? And they caught me down to Bull Bulldogs Bulldogs. And I repeat, a b******* dose of what I was taking. So blame the right people. The addicts will be addicts no matter what. Take aspirin, get off whatever the f*** you're taking, and just take Tylenol, that's all you need.

Re: Jo (# 75)

Certainly don't think I'm better than anyone but when my Dr sent me to a local pain clinic it was like being in a court house. Reminded me of John Prines song Alice's Restaurant where a man was arrested for putting his trash in the wrong place and now sitting on a bench with murderers and rapists. I didn't belong at a pain clinic. Also the dr there had boxes of pain patches delivered to me via US mail that I didn't ask for, after doing some research learn my insurance was paying $3000 a box. Took box to my general Dr who sent me to pain clinic and told him it's a money scheme and I don't feel comfortable with clinic. Also told my Dr I understood why he is afraid of writing a script for Percocet and I would rather endure back pain than be involved with a legalized drug ring. Due to my b/p high from pain my Dr began again writing my pain medication scripts. Still, I'm not sure the pain relief outweighs the side effects of taking them. I know by experience the side effects (for me) are fatigue, brain's natural reward system rewired leading to depression, laziness and overall feeling of "everything's ok" when I take. I believe a breakthrough is forthcoming or already here but big pharmaceutical companies are holding people like me who are dependent ransom for better outcome with the numerous lawsuits and we know it's billions of dollars. Sacks family last I heard own Purdue and Rhodes Pharmaceutical, nearly 100 billion. So, while many are complaining of being dropped by pain clinics, I pray you don't seek street drugs. I have confidence that help for ones who can and cannot get pain medication is forthcoming. Inhumane as it is, we must make the right decisions as best we can. God bless.

Re: Dead (# 87)

Not sure what you're referring to specifically. I live in Pennsylvania very close to the NY border. Doctors in PA have been prosecuted for prescribing painkillers. The state attorney general set up a sting operation to arrest a local doctor. Sent an agent to her complaining about pain. Too many courts have stated pain is subjective. What pain you have that you ignore could be debilitating for another person and vice versa. The doctor took the "agent" as a patient, wrote him a Rx and was promptly arrested for not have the proper pain management credentials. Thank GOD she was exonerated but it set the stage to scare other PA doctors who now refuse to write Rx's for pain meds. I've always gone to NY for our family doctor, always had a family doctor in NY. My doctor there has tried many different pain meds and at the moment I'm doing great and controlling the pain quite well on Vicodin. I've been taking narcotic pain meds nearly 30 years and haven't had issues. When a pain med stopped being effective, my doctor would switch me to something else instead of increasing the dosage of a pill or increasing the number of pills. We've had long discussions about different meds in this context. While there have been times I came close to using a 30 day Rx in the allotted 30 days I still have pills left over such that when the day comes I can renew the RX I don't. For whatever reason(s) my NY doctor doesn't have the complications PA doctors do.

My adopted son sees doctors here in PA and they treat him like he's a drug addict. They've even accused him of only wanting the pills to feel high and sell to other people which is totally false. I've calculated places I could drive to not far from PA (another state) and sell my monthly allotment of pills for around $7000. Like my adopted son has said, and what would I do for pain after I've sold the pills? Dollar bills don't make pain go away, no way would any person in their right mind take that chance. The "opioid crisis" is about drug abuse. Its about druggies stealing drugs from legitimate users of pain meds. Its NOT about people like us in extreme pain that responsibly obtain and use opioid pain meds. Here in my county in PA the "opioid crisis" fanatics keep bringing out an event where a young teen boy broke his arm. His parents were given an Rx for Vicodin and doled out pills to the teen. The parents got tired of handing out pills and gave the bottle to the teen. The teen was then complaining to a schoolmate the pills didn't relieve pain as quickly as he would like and his schoolmate told him to grind the pills into powder and swallow them. Sadly, the teen went into shock and died the first time he did that. Newspaper headlines, local talking heads all yelling "OPIOID CRISIS", "OPIOID CRISIS". NOOOOOOO, "DRUG ABUSE" and irresponsibility on the part of the parents. Of course the parents went along with the news because they stood to be accused of breaking several laws. I have no idea what problems you experience where you live. If you have real pain you should be able to obtain an appropriate pain med in a sufficient quantity to alieve your pain.

Hi Vintage Lady, hope this finds you doing well. Well that is strange, it's listed like this: "Don't Punish Pain Rally Nat." They also have groups in each State as well, preparing ones for the Rally. Oh wait, they do have a website as well! Dontpunishpainrally.com. You could also do a search for, Don't Punish Pain Rally on your search engine. You don't have to go to a Rally to be a member as they offer other information too. We also have a commercial on Fox Business that shows the link. (check out your TV Guide for the channel). We have doctors/pain management/pharmacist and am pretty sure a couple of people from Congress there too. I could go on. Good luck to you (& everyone else), in finding it! Take care and have a great, pain-free weekend~

Re: Jo (# 91)

Hi... For over 20 years I had been taking Lorcet 10/750 for chronic acute pain. Had been through many other pain meds, but the Lorcet was great at managing my pain, no side effects, never abused my prescription. When FL started cracking down, the formula for production of these were stopped and something else added to help stop drug abusers from using any other way but orally. But I never even got to try them.... was switched to Percocet, which made me tired all the time and horrible constipation. So went to Norco, which was a joke... no pain relief there. The Lorcet only ever cost no more than $60, during times I didn't have insurance. These new pain meds, as shown on my prescription print outs, cost hundreds of $$$. I think I know what the MOTIVATION is here...

And I refuse to be treated like a malingerer at these pain clinics... they are the reason this stupid war on opiates got it's start... WTH?
