1	R. Zeke	Fread	FL	US	If you or someone you know suffers from chonic pain. Your aware of the importance of assuring that pain medication is not denied to chronic pain patients. A Chronic Pain Patient Registry is one of the best methods to protect the rights and insure those whose lives are consumed by high levels of chronic pain, will no longer be denied pain medication.
2	Scott	Johnson	WA	US	As a chronic pain sufferer who has been on monitored medication for several years, I wholeheartedly support this Registry and implore you to give it your support on behalf of all CPP's. Thank you
3	Joey	Lee	PA	US	We cannot allow the abuse by a few ditate the inadequate tratment to Chronic Pain Patients that need and deserve Real Reatment!
4	Bill	Newberry	VA	US	SPECIAL attention is requested for the necessity of pain relief due to calcium loss and bone grinding against bone. Difficult to live.

7	ARLA	WOODS		CA	I AM SICK AND TIRED AND DISGUSTED TO HEAR THE AGONY IN THE VOICES OF MY AMERICAN FRIENDS SUFFERING SO MUCH PAIN. BEING CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN THE STREETS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THOSE WHO WOULD BE GLAD TO FOLLOW DOCTORS ORDERS TO GO TO THE STREETS. DONT YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS TO STOP - LIKE GUNS....HOW DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A CIVILIZED COUNTRY, YOU ARE COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN TRUTH BY WITHHOLDING PROPER MEDICAL CARE TO THOSE IS SUCH DESPAIR---AND IT WOULD BE SO EASY TO HELP, UNLIKE OTHER SORTS OF THINGS. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? MY FRIENDS IN PAIN ARE REAL, GOOD, CARING, FAMILY STRONG, GOOD CITIZENS. ALL THEY WANT IS DIGNITY AND FREEDOM OF DEBILITATING, SUICIDAL PAIN, AGONY. YOU ARE RUINING THEIR FAMILIES, YOUR WHOLE WAY OF LIFE BY MAKING GOOD PEOPLE LIVE LIKE INJURED DOGS. WE DO NOT LET ANIMALS SUFFER LIKE THIS. DO YOU NOT THINK YOUR PEOPLE HAVE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO GET WHATEVER IS DISCUSSED AND DECIDED BY THEM AND THEIR PHYSICIANS IN PRIVACY. FURTHERMORE, HOW DO YOU DICTATE TO THE DOCTORS HOW TO TREAT THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR PATIENTS WHO PUT THEIR TRUST, HOPE - VERY LIVES IN THEIR HANDS, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY ARE AFRAID OF GOING TO JAIL - IF THEY HELP THEM STOP SUFFERING WITH CAREFULLY MONITORED MEDICATION PROGRAM. SHAME SHAME.... THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOOD PEOPLE, BUT YOU LAWMAKERS ARE SOME OTHER THING, AND YOU HAVE YOUR YOUNG GIRLS AND ALL YOUR IMMORAL THINGS, HOW ARROGANT, HYPOCRITICAL... AND SOO CRUEL... THINK ABOUT IT,,, IT COULD BE YOU... AND YOUR DOCTOR WILL SAY....SORRY BUT....
8	Joy	Phillips	TN	US	In view of todays overly litigious atmosphere, and speaking as a Registered Nurse who cares for those in tremendous pain I wholly support this proposal.
9	Karen	Jurewicz	FL	US	I have RSD/CRPS, a chronic pain condition. It has changed my life and my family's. I would love tobe able to get the relief I need without a doctor fearing any repurcussions.
10	Bruce	Meyer Williams	MN	US	We MUST stop the senseless abuse of chonic pain patient's nationwide. We all should start to stand up for ourselves in a unified effort to stop the senseless abuse of a very proud and fine group of people - who are needlessly and constantly being singled out by either the DEA or our Medical Boards. The senselessness of all this must stop. I urge ALL who read this to also make a statement and take the time to register their outcry here - in defense of innocent people who are being hurt daily - and for God's sake, let's start to think of ways to hold our "doctor's harmless." I urge any and all to not only sign this petition but to bring another family member here immediately to do the same. Thank You.
11	Dorothy	Ross	NM	US	Dr. Richard A. Gardner, a practicing child psychiatrist and professor at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons for the last 40 years suffered from reflex sympathetic dystrophy and committed suicide May 25 at his home in Tenafly, NJ. If it's gotten to the point where doctors with chronic pain can't even receive adequate pain care, don't you think something needs to be done? I've been told by my pain specialist that I will require medications for the rest of my life and that someday I will probably not be able to walk. Will I remain under such scrutiny until I die?
12	Denise	Liggett	MD	US
13	Richard	Shannon	MD	US	A friend sent me this today as I was planning my suicide as the only possible way to end the pain. I've known for the longest time that there is no crueler, no greater inhumane treatment, no medical condition of any sort under such great scrutiny by the gestapo-like DEA, the heartless whitecoats worried about their jobs, the overeager political types doing anything to score "points", and others who have lost complete touch with reality and haven't a clue about what true compassion is. Every year, 1000s, maybe 10s of 1000s because we can't know, take their lives because they can no longer bear the pain. My heart goes out to every person who suffers so needlessly because of these people in positions strong enough to control others and are literally responsible for all of these deaths. Their hands are bloodier than any hands which have been in the greatest wars. They are more cruel than the cruelest of history. It goes on and on and on...yet the people still suffer such excrutiating pain that the suicides have no end. If there are any politicians out there who understand the simple meaning of empathy and sincere compassion, let them step forward to stop the insanity of a government gone mad. It will take courage, but as our young boys die because of their courage in following the orders of the older men and women so distracted by themselves, that light of courage should shine on them. I thank God I didn't commit suicide today, but what about tomorrow? The day after? And the one after that? We can't know. Right now, we only know that this madness of men and women who treat compassion as an unknown and something foreign, HAS TO STOP!! May God have mercy on these unfeeling souls.
14	Lisa	Hack	NE	US
15	Shawna	Neumeister	OR	US	For those of us dealing with chronic pain, we all know too well the frustration of not only trying to find a doctor, but when we do find a doctor, their hands are tied in treating us. Trying to survive in the ocean of doctors not trained in chronic pain is extremely frustrating. The government should not be allowed to tell a pain specialist what a patient needs. The government needs to step back and allow the doctors to do their job.
16	BETTY	DUNN	GA	US	I FET SO TIRED OF DOCTORS TREATING ME AS A DRUGGY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ON NARCOTICS FOR PAIN RELIEF FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS OF MY 6 YEAR BATTLE. I HAVE DONE AS EVERY DOCTOR REQUESTED TO GET CONTROL OF MY PAIN, NOTHING HAS WORKED EXCEPT FOR THE NARCOTICS.I MOVED FROM SC TO GA TO GO TO EMORY, FOR HELP, I HAD A WONDERFUL, CARING DOCTOR THAT READ ALL MY RECORDS AND KNEW THAT I HAD BEEN THROUGH HELL ON EARTH, SO HE CONTINUED MY PAIN MEDS, I HAD A LIFE ONCE AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO BATHE MYSELF, DRESS, COOK, CLEAN, WALK SOME, AND BE A PART OF MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE, NONE OF THESE THINGS AND MORE I WAS NOT ABLE TO DUE UNTIL I WAS PUT ON NARCOTICS FOR MY CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF. I HAVE ALWAYS TOOK THE PRESCRIBED DOSAGE, NEVER BEEN HIGH FROM MEDS, AND FOLLOWED ALL MY DOCTORS ORDERS. MY DOCTOR MOVED FROM GEORGIA TO DC IN JUNE, I WENT TO SEE A DOCTOR THAT WAS IN THE SAME PRACTICE, ONLY FOR HER TO TREAT ME LIKE A DRUG ADDICT, TOLD ME THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE ON NARCOTICS. IF THAT WAS THE TRUTH THEN TELL ME WHY I BARELY WAS ABLE TO BREATH FROM THE SEVERITY OF MY PAINS BEFORE I WAS ON NARCOTICS, THEN WHEN MY DOCTORS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT DOSAGE OF NARCOTIC PAIN MEDS, I WAS ABLE TO HAVE A LIFE. IDO NOT WANT MUCH, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT I DESERVE TO NOT BE IN CHRONIC PAIN. I HAD A BABY BY C-SECTION IN 97, INCISION OPENED UP, HAD 20 SOMETHING HOSPITAL STAYS AND MORE SURGERIE FROM WOUND, THEN I HAD TO BE CUT HIP TO HIP TO REMOVE DEAD FLESH, THEN WITHIN 2 YEARS I HAD 9 FAILED HERNIA REPAIRS, EACH LEAVING AN OPEN ABDOMINAL WOUND, I HAVE DDD, DJD, SUSPECTED SPINAL STENOSIS, 4 RUPTURED DISK, NERVE DAMAGE IN RIGHT LEG AND SCIATICA. I HAVE ENOUGH WRONG WITH MY BODY, I DON'T DESERVE TO CONTINUE TO BE ATTACKED FOR NEEDING ONGOING NARCOTIC MEDICINES FOR CHRONIC PAIN.

25	BONNI	MARKISH	PA	US	AFTER HAVING CEVICAL NECK SURGERY. 2 1/2 YEARS AGO I HAVE BEEN IN HORRIBLE ALL OVER THE BODY PAIN 24/7. I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING IN MEDICAL CARE AND BOTOX, PHYSICAL THERAPY, YOU NAME IT I HAVE TRIED IT.....BUT I HAVE OVER 47 DRUG ALLERGIES SO I CAN'T TAKE MEDS OF ANY KIND. I SUFFER EVERY DAY AND NIGHT WITH OUT A GOOD DAY. NO DR SEEMS TO KNOW WHY?? SO IF THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT CAN TAKE A DRUG OR WHAT EVER TO STOP PAIN, I AM WITH IT 100% I LIVE IT EVERY DAY AND WOULD GIVE ANY THING TO BE ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DIFFERENT DRS. THAT MARIJUANA WOULD HELP ME BUT IT IS NOT LEGAL FOR ME TO TRY, EVEN IN A DR'S OFFICE TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP THE PAIN! SO GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE FOR AT LEAST A LIFE THAT IS TOLERABLE. DON'T MAKE DRUG LAWS AGAINST US, UNLESS YOU HAVE WALKED IN OUR SHOES! EVEN FOR A DAY! THANKS FOR LISTENING. PLEASE HELP US!!!!!

39	Bob	Peters	FL	US	I have been living in a total hell for the last three years. I have spent thousands of dollars on operations and injections with very little help. I am at my wits end as my Dr.s are so afraid that I spend two weeks every month where I cant even leave my home. I am about to loose everything that my wife and I have worked all our lives for. I dont know how much longer I can endure like this. Thanks Bob Peters
40	Rosalita	Adamo	FL	US	I was told there already is a National chronic pain registry.
41	Richaard	Pohl	NY	US	I hurt my back in a car accidant over one year a ago.And the pain is unbearable.I've had the shots and I think ther're worse than my orginal pain!
42	Diana	Poudrier	CA	US
43	Kimberly	Shoulders	AL	US	I think this is a wonderful idea. Sufferers of RSD and other chronic pain patients need all the help we can get. I suffered for 3 years without proper pain management due to the doctors being scared to prescribe any heavy narcotics. We, as patients, need protection, too!
44	debbie	rucker	DE	US	I live in constant pain from fibromyalgia and hep c
45	Claudia	O'Donnell	CA	US	This would direcfly affect my mother, who currently requires a morphine pump to manage her back pain, which is related to her spine collapsing.
46	Ida	Baber	FL	US	We need medical physicians with the guts to do their job!
47	Kim	Shoulders	AL	US	I have suffered with RSD for 4 1/2 years now, and I have yet to find a doctor actually willing to listen to what I say. They all think they know what to do, and when that doesn't turn out the way they thought it would they pass me on to the next doctor. We need help!!
48	Christyann	Duffy	PA	US	Since 1998 I have been in chronic pain on the entire right side of my body due to a rear end accident where I was the victim. Prior to my accident I was a very atheletic energetic women, who swam, skied, hiked, drove race cars, and played with my 18 month old child at the play ground. Since the accident I can just about get out of bed, in the morning without wenching with low back lumbar pain, have sleep disturbed nights due to muscle spasms in my neck back and leg, and experience burning pain in my right arm and right leg every moment of the day. My pharmacist questions me with every precription I receive each month, I feel terrible asking to have my pain medication refilled, and feel terrible if I don't take my medictions. My life changed drastically after my accident, with out the ability to just have fun working out, or playing with my daughter, but worst of all my pain medication is being threatened and my fear is I will suffer more and consider shortening my life as I have thought of when the pain is so unbearable that I have to have ganglion or epidural blocks. The anxiety of being with or without pain management medication is overwhelming.
49	DENNIS J	BALOG	NV	US	Have constant chronic headache/headpain. Only relief that took the edge off was a med called Stadol NS. Currently taking Talacen from a headache specialist. Along with Prozac, diazepam. Nothing conventional helps. Vicodin helped a little as well as tyl #3. Stadol NS is so controversial that most doctors are afraid to prescribe. All I know is that I have no life with this pain.
