I was under medicated after surgery . I a chronic pain patient. Stop this ! We Pain Patients are in a federal data base I don’t abuse my meds

It is a crime to deny chronic pain patients some quality of life through pain management treatments. Allow our doctor's to do their job with fear of losing their license. Allow patients the care and compassion they so desperately need. Chronic pain patients seek quality of life, addicts seek getting high...yet addicts get free needles and alternative treatments, while chronic pain patients are left with nothing...

I know that it is unfortunate that people overdose on medication. Most often it is recreational usage that causes this and not PM patients. The loss of life is sad but has anyone contemplated the suicides that could come from this due to us being tortured by a set of regulations which would make us live in AGONY everyday of our life? The families that will be affected from the loss of a loved one who would never have taken their own life except for over the top legislation which made their lives literal TORTURE. Please consider these consequences and don't punish those of us who are responsible with our medications and work with our professionally trained pain management doctors.

It seems every day,as an incurable chronic pain patient sufferer, I have to deal with yet another blow to my healthcare. From my meds being limited to de authorized, pharmacies 'not having it' and so on, chronic pain patients seem to have no one's ear, or care, sympathy, nor even Consideration. We have been forgotten and considered less than human. This must stop.

I too am tired of being treated like a criminal. My Dr has been lowering my dosage and its killing me. At times I just want to end my life just to stop all this pain.

I have scoliosis and degenerative joint disease and live in constant pain. I have not been able to get my medications. I have had to go through withdrawals in front of my children. I missed my own son's birthday party due to my severe pain. Not having my medications has effected my quality of life negatively.

Hello to all who suffer like me with untreated unbearable pain.Having spinal stenosis and ddd has made my life seem of no value anymore. Because of the inhumane guidelines put in place by the dark soul's in society the ones who truly suffer have no quality of life. This one size fits all approach that's applied only applies to toilet seats not human beings with untreated pain. If we are ever treated as humans who depend on our medication ever have a voice again it will be because the truth behind the lies and dark money has come forth by following the money paid to the ones with prop etc.I realize that it's a financial strain on Medicare medicaid and insurance company's to provide coverage for the millions of us who need medical attention to somewhat help treat our pain but to come up with statistics that are false and no public recognition of the 24-7 untreated pain we live with .The manufacturered media mind control machine is under orders of no mention of all the suffering caused by the dark souls may one day soon will this nightmare we are in when it comes to this inhumane lifestyle we are condemned to will improve when the truth will finally surface as to what the millions of us good people have had to indure for the past 6 years. May God gift the ones who are responsible for our suffering with the return of a clear conscience and peace of mind that they have caused misery and will try the best they can with the tools of modern medicine to correct their mistakes. We do not live in a third world country this is the USA we should have more rational people in control but money has corrupted all in power and the citizens are collateral damage. May God bless you and please God bless America. Joel

Please help us! We cannot get off opioids and get our lives back as addicts do, as we suffer from severe pain from chronic incurable medical problems. We are not drug addicts yet we get treated worse than they are treated because of severe predjudice and fear. We do not abuse our medication. We don't use other drugs or alcohol and we don't know how to get street drugs so how can we overdose as long as we take our meds as prescribed as I have done safely for 15 years? Taking away our meds will not save anyone, but it is killing us! Please stop hurting us and leaving us to suffer this torture. You have no idea. Alternatives don't work for me and 12 million others like me. There are 120 million Americans with chronic pain, abusing us and taking away our rights will not stop the overdoses, it will only make it worse. Too many pain patients have already died or committed suicide or turned to street drugs, more will if this madness does not stop. Please give us our pain meds back so we can feel better. Thank you!
