Oppose the DEA's Proposal on Reduced Opioid Production

I have several chronic illnesses including the worst-CRPS! If I don't have my pain medication I could not get up everyday and go to physical therapy, doctor appts, church and some family functions. This is important. We DO NOT abuse our pain meds! Please hear us out! This makes its worse for us in the chronic pain community!

Please remember there are those of us who use opioids the way they are prescribed. I have had RSD for 19+ years now. Please vote correctly to ensure people such as myself can get the help we need. Thank you.

I have had CRPS for 25yeats and have and for pain stimulators and a pain pump to not take pain medicine and not as much pain medicine and everything I have gotten has broken and added more problems and more expense. You can not put people in one catagory that takes pain medication. We are individuals. Now my CRPS has spread and waiting for new things out there to cure me. THank you for your time

We are I'll and in chronic pain. Not drug addict's. We need these meds to help live our lives.

It is very important those those in pain who are able to use their medications as their physicians have prescribed without additional restrictions. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between those who abuse drugs and those who need them to function when in extreme pain, and the latter should have access to their medications.

I suffer from RSD I am not a drug addict nor a drug seeker. Do not punish us due to others incompetence, neglect, and greed. Our lives depend on it.

I am a chronic pain patient with neorofibromatosis. I am currently not on pain medication but my pain is increasing with time. I need access to pain relief for quality of life. Look at my prescription history. I have never abused medications.

Please DON'T take these away! Do you know how many of us are totally depended on these OPIODS FOR LIFE! They improve the quality of my life totally, if I did not have them, I probably would not be here today, because Suicide would have claimed my life after bit being diagnosed for a whole year. Dr. Keith Kirby, my lifesaver...

Please show compassion to patients with chronic pain. Please....

I have CRPS type 2. The pain meds that I take, responsibly, allow me to be a mom to my 3 children! Without them I would be bed ridden and would have most likely given up by now.

Being a sufferer of severe chronic pain due to full body CRPS a crippling pain disorder with no cure or effective treatment, I oppose your proposal to reduce production of opioids needed by millions that suffer from chronic pain that are not addicts nor abuse the use of needed opioids to maintain some type of relief keeping them from committing suicide.

I have CRPS TYPE 2 the disease that is most painful to man. You will be forcing many patients to the streets for relief, or you'll send others to their grave by suicide. I've been there.

I have a chronic pan disease called CRPS. there is no cure. Without pain meds I'd be in bed 24/7. I don't abuse them, but desperately need so I have SOME quality of life.

I have had CRPS full-body for yrs and a few other chronic pain diseases

My opioid medication is saving my life from the disease RSD/ CRPS You people need to stop confusing the addicts out there that have created this epidemic, as opposed to the sick people, such as myself that need them to function with ADL I take 11 medications to calm down the constant burning and pain through out my body I was in the s/a industry for 35 years I clearly could identify who was addicted, which is a disease defined by the AMA and who needed tbd opioid for a health issue Please research further and develop guidelines for those who need a narcotic for medicinal purposes vs. abuse

I have CRPS and it's not fun, my daughter just died and I have to deal with the government in my business. Thats not fair. Please just leave us all alone, you will be dealing with more than you anticipated if this goes through. I am not a depressed person, and I never want to be. THANK YOU Michelle

My fiance suffer from CRPS. It is constant pain for her and the many others who suffer from CRPS.

Please, have mercy on these persons with this aweful RSD/CRPS! MY DAUGHTER HAS THIS . I PRAY FOR A CURE DAILY.

Its wrong as I suffer from CRPS chronic pain

Please do not reduce production because a "few" addicts. Just because I am white does not mean I represent slave owners so how can I, as an individual, represent those "few" addicts?
