I am starting this petition because I have talked to many disabled people who live in chronic pain everyday that are very afraid that there medication will be token away from them! We feel that this is not fair to us as there is no way to prove how much pain a person is in and because of this how can the government say that a person only needs a very low amount of morphine a day! Everyone is different and have differed pain levels so I really don't know how this is gonna work!! If anything this will cause people to go to a drug dealer to get relief! Many have told me that is what they are gonna half to do! So we think that this is a horrible thing to do to the disabled!
We feel that we are being picked on and treated like drug attacks!! When really we are far from that and just wanna live with some relief!! I know for myself that if I didn't take my medication I wouldn't even beable to get out of bed and I would not have any quality of life at all! And another thing is that I think that the suicide rate will go way up because it will be the only way to finally get relief if you take away our medications that are dearly needed!
I'm waiting for surgery because I have severe arthritis in my left hip! But because I am still young the dr wants me to wait until I'm 50! I would have never been able to deal with the pain without my medication! I hope that this pitition is heard and something can be arranged better then what has been done!!
Ever since the day I started spending more time with my Aunt Melissa, I started to realize that the medications she takes aren't a pleasure to be on, like so many think. She on a regular basis has to deal with pain from things like arthritis and serve swelling of the joints, rendering her incapable of movement without her medication due to her pain (and on bad days even with her proper medication it can still be a battle). It has become unbearable to watch her go through days like this, With no way to aid her myself I find myself questioning the current desisions that our groverment has made towards the access to these drugs and frankly makes me question the future of our Medicare. I implore people to stand up now before one of our proud Canadian rights of Medicare is destroyed
