Is There A Movement To Join To Increase Awareness And Get Laws Passed To Protect The Chronic Pain Patient?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Chronic pain patients are being forgotten about and punished with all these new laws and pressure from the government and states regarding opioid use
Chronic pain patients need help to get the medication they need. Drug addicts now use meth, heroin, etc. They no longer use opioids because they are so hard to get. Help is needed. I am so tired of being treated like an addict. I want my life back, I need help. Opioids is all that helps. Why should I and so many others like me continue to… read more

I'm on Narco, up to 3 a day and Fentynal 25 mcg patches changing it every other day. Used to be on the patches 50 mcg and the Narco but not being allowed to take as many a month. They gradually lower the patch strength so it wasn't a problem.

I "climbed" the WHO pain ladder as recommended by my neurologist for my chemo induced peripheral neuropathy and found that only Percocet worked for me...45mg/day. Not pain free but at least I can sleep better. We pain patients are being persecuted due to a hysteria created by PROP and one Dr. Kolodny...go ahead...look it up for yourself. It's unconscionable!

Then, contact your State legislators and tell them about the intractable pain you are enduring from your State Medical Board due to their inability/unwillingness to understand that pain patients across America are suffering horrendous and unbearable levels of pain caused by State Medical Boards and the DEA who are imposing non-evidence based medical rules regarding controlled prescription pain medications, resulting in severe pain medicine shortages, thereby forcing legitimate pain patients to seek pain relief from unregulated sources, causing a worsening of our fellow citizens suffering from Fentanyl poison and death!

We must each find the strength to tell them, and to tell them in numbers too big to ignore...or they will in fact...ignore us! 💜

So you get Disability $715.00 right? Do you or have you appied for Social Security. I know where I live If you get disability well under 65 you can also get Social Security. Also you should apply for foodshare, medical assistants and mediaid most are though the state so check with Public Health Dept. I know how it is they except you to make it on nothing. I think their thoughts are if we starve them and keep them below poverty level. We will throw up our hand and say your right, you caught us we were just faking it and we aren't in all this awful pain. I can go back and work 2-3 jobs a day, no this pain, this pain has controled my life and than they ( government) think if we keep them down they will give up. We can't give up, there is nothing to give up. But we can fight, and that we can get really good at. Check out everything you are intitled to. Peace and love and a wish for painless days and nites
