A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago Heights, IL

Need a Pain Dr who will actually read my records that are without question real and true and easily proven to show my need for meds and more help. I need someone who would fulfill their OATH of being a Dr to help someone who actually has proof and not a faker!! If I can’t find help soon I’ll be bed ridden and become a lost cause

Prescott, AZ

Does Anyone Have Retroperitoneal Fibrosis? Or Even Heard Of It? 1.4 Cases Per 100,000

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I joined an RF support group and had to quit because of how they promoted Western Medicine. The only treatment they know is steroid infusions. I found an alternative therapy and have been making slow progress. I have shrunk my aortic aneurysm from 5.3cc to 3.2cc. with an enzyme therapy and an anti-inflammatory diet.

The RF site is great for research on the subject their archives are beyond compare.

Your friend in pain,

Change In Laws

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
North Little Rock, AR

Is there anyone standing up to “the powers that be” for the help of the patient? I feel we are doomed... It’s become nation wide! When will patients ever get the medicine they deserve? We don’t ask to be in pain! Street drug addiction has controlled the decision’s a Doctor can make on our quality of life. It’s NOT RITE...
