Please stop taking away opioids from responsible patients with severe chronic pain. Do you want to kill us all off? We can't live like this. We are suffering because other people have chosen to abuse opioids. We are innocent people who just happen to be unlucky enough to have to suffer with chronically painful legitamate medical conditions. Our doctors know that we are not abusing our medication. Many of us have been taking opioids for over fifteen years as prescribed safely without any overdoses. We follow all the rules and then our meds are cut by 2/3 so that we don't get adequate pain relief. One dose does not fit everyone. This is making us unable to function, take a shower, or have a life of any kind. We are suffering and no one cares. Please end this cruelty. After our meds were taken from us the overdoses quadrupled, so taking away our legitamate prescriptions has not helped anyway. This doesn't make sense. You don't take away the legitamate use of opioids because of the illegitimate use of opioids. The issue is is the treatment being used to treat a real painful medical problem and does it increase the patient's function and quality of life. With drug testing and pill counts and the registry, doctors can tell who is abusing their meds if any, so people need to be monitored. When monitored, these drugs can be used safely and are life saving for us. Any tool can either help or kill, it depends on how it is used. Until there are better alternatives, opioids are the only option for some patients. Just telling us to suck it up or go meditate is insulting and cruel. Someday you, or someone you love may have chronic pain, then you will be sorry.REPORT COMMENTS

. Right now going through withdrawal symptoms because of having to go see a doctor who has maybe spoke to me a dozen times in almost a year. He has cancelled my appointment three times in a month. My primary care physician sent me to pain management because of the DEA . He over books himself so you have to wait for an hour to see him sometimes it is longer than that. Right now because of some weather some patients cancelled and his nurse called me and told me it would not be worth seeing only a few patients. I asked her about being without my meds and she said you should have extra. I told her that I had extra until the month prior due to him rescheduling that appt.for a week out. She well there is nothing I can do for you. So I have to go through withdrawals and there is nothing I can do. If I complain about it then he can fire me from the practice and deny me my meds.REPORT COMMENTS

The doctor tried to prescribe me highly toxic highly disturbing psychological anti depressants instead of simple oxy for pain. I took one and thought this medicine should be limited to committed patients. Anti depressants are certainly worse than opiods for responsible mature persons. I refused to take more than one and currently am denied effective opiod pain medication even though I have qualifiable conditions. Does requesting 4 scripts of 30 oxy's a year make me an abuser? DEA should stay out of medicine because they're not doctors. Measured opiod has been a valid medicine for thousands of years. DEA is trying to create more customers for the private prison systems.

This is wrong on so many levels to deny lifesaving pain medication to the disabled, our VETS, our senior citizens and people of all walks of life who suffer from DEBILITATING INCURABLE CONDITIONS!! I just came from my dr, who once again lowered my meds even more but happily injected my knees, very very painful injections that he coukd not numb the area first due to the severe burning it causes on my knees, knees thatbare stricken with RSD/CRPS, arthritis, . Do you have any idea how it feels to have a two inch needle jabbed into your knee, the medication oozing thruout your knee makingnit even more painful, I NOW CANNOT WALK! Everytime I try to apply pressure my knee is snapping, my right leg feels as if its being constricted, I CANNOT WALK!!! You want legitimate pain pts to endure every alternative therapy, regardless of the outcomes. I put myself thru living hell each month justnto get the very minimal pain medication that is no longer effective because I have to wait 8 f***ing hours to take one, By then the pain is crippling, im curled in a ball or vomiting from the pain. You corrupt lawmakers are inflicting severe pain onto innocent law abiding chronically ill citizens of this country!! You corrupt lawmakers are forcing pain pts to live a life of pure hell/torture! You corrupt lawmakers have the blood of every pain pt who took their life to escape the torture you have inflicted on them! I hope their spirits haunt you all until your time is up, and none of you will be greeted by pearly gates, you all belong in hell with the devil. How do any of you sleep at night knowing you have created a fictious opiod epidemic, knowing dam well that heroin and fake pills laced with fentanyl is whats raging hell on this country and NOT legally prescribed pain medication. Sure there are people who abuse their meds, a very small percent, and yet you corrupt lawmakers have the public believing that chronic intractable pain pts are addicts! How many in our government and/or thier loved ones require pain medication!?!? There is no way in hell that none of you do, many of you are up in age, with that comes the body breaking down. Do you think we are that niave to believe you all are in perfect health!? The thing is though, you all have your private drs and pharmacies in your back pockets, $$$$ .

Please help! We are seriously good people not drug addicts. We suffer spinal cord diseases, injuries and surgeries gone bad. We suffer chronic pain 24/7. The new laws have made it extremely hard for people like us to get enough pain medication to truly get thru the day, week or month. We suffer some days with no medication because the dosage is not enough or insurance won't cover it because of the extra amount and drug stores won't fill because of the new DEA laws. You are causing good people to withdraw and STOP living. Because of the chronic pain good folks are not leaving their homes due to the pain we suffer. I have degenerative disc disease. My bones are crumbling away. I have had 2 major fusion surgeries on my spine. One in my whole cervical neck and one in my lower back fusions with screws and metal rods. Also I have had a complete Knee replacement. This has caused even more chronic pain. We need to STOP BEING TREATED LIKE DRUG ADDICTS! Pain medication like opiates, oxycodone and others are truly helpful in our quality of life. They truly help us get up and move around and live a good quality of life. Otherwise we stay home and feel like dying because the pain is so bad and we can't get our medication. Some folks just commit suicide because they can't get their pain meds and because Drs. just don't care or are afraid of the DEA reactions. We are the ones who truly need this medication and are suffering the most with these new laws. PLEASE HELP US CHANGE THE NEW LAWS BACK TO HELP CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS. I'm sure there is a way to diagnose just who we are. Look at my medical records. You would be in chronic pain too.

All patients on opoids who have chronic pain are not addicts. My doctor has given me the same medication for years. I signed an agreement I would only use her and one pharmacy. Since the law changed to where you had to pick up your prescription every month, my whole life revolves around being here on the date I get the Rx filled. I previously received 3 months since I see the Dr. every 3 months due to my laundry list of problems. The Dr. won't see new patients who must take opoids. I do believe my rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is being trampled upon and I am made to look like some drug seeking junkie. I am 63 and careful about my medication.

Chronic pain patients are dying committing suicide to relieve their pain because of no wrong doing or actions of their own they are wrongfully being punished for crimes they did not commit. They are being denied pain medications that have been prescribed legally by their pain management doctors that they signed contracts with to ensure continuity of care. But these contracts are not being honored and upheld. Patients are being weened down to doses not capable of providing any viable pain relief or in worse cases patients have been abandoned by their doctors completely. Patients left with no way to access necessary pain medications. All because abusers abuse heroin and street opioids the patients are suffering for it. In this country we are supposed to be free from discrimination free from torture and free from being punished for other peoples crimes. This needs to stop before one more patient dies from the effects of under treated or untreated pain. Before one more patient takes their own life to escape the torture of their pain. No one should find themselves in a place that their pain is so severe so under treated that suicide becomes the positive option to relieve it. Only about 2% of Chronic Pain Patients end up abusing their medications. Chronic pain patients don?t want to have to take these medications any more than a cancer patient wants chemotherapy. But they have no choice. Chronic Pain Patients are the ones who are the most affected by changes in prescribing guidelines, however they are not the ones abusing, selling, or trafficking these medications. By setting limits on the amount of opiates that can be prescribed, it takes the medications away from the patients that need them most. Chronic Pain Patients are two to three times more likely to commit suicide because of inadequate pain care. Are their lives less valuable than the life of an addict? A solution must be found that treats addiction while still ensuring proper and adequate care for Chronic Pain Patients. Our doctors and patients need to be making medical decisions for ourselves not politicians without medical training without any knowledge about the complexities of treating chronic pain patients that more often then not have mutiple diseases .Let doctors do the doctoring let law makers make laws but don't start a trend of mixing law with medicine because all it causes is suffering and death that don't deserve to be treated so poorly.REPORT COMMENTS

Narcotics work just fine for chronic pain. Have been a pharmacist for 32 years. The problem is doctors who do not manage patients appropriately. There are so many garbage studies out there. Each patient's pain is different. It should be treated that way. You do not know the effect of a drug treatment until it is tried. Narcotics have worked wonders for my chronic pain, yet all the VA cares about is compulsively denying narcotics to Veterans. They cite "evidence based studies". What exactly does this have to do with treating a patients individual pain situation? Another huge VHA problem. As a Veteran you do not have the ability to change pain providers.

Chronic pain is an affliction caused by many different diseases but it fortunately can be treated, unfortunately the treatment is the use of opiates.

As of this moment I feel that government officials and agencies should be held accountable for their crimes against the people who they are intentionally harming. It is our constitutional right to protect ourselves from people who are causing us harm. It is our constitutional right to have said people prosecuted in a court of law.
