    The stigma that is attached to people who suffer sever chronic pain is a form of DISCRIMINATION, while discrimination is not tolerated in any other form in the US anymore, it's alive, well and shining bright on people who are prescribed RX opiates for severe chronic pain and those who have become dependent on opiates due to long term treatment of severe chronic pain. Since it's the junkies that misuse opiates to escape real life that contributes most to the stigma attached to ALL those with legitimate need of pain medication, why not just let the fools have as much as they want without hassle so they can kill themselves and be done with it. Any healthy adult can go to a liquor store and buy as much alcohol as they want and drink themselves to death but people with severe pain are made to preform like circus animals, peeing in cups and jumping through hoops to get some pain relief. If you want to punish someone punish Purdue pharma for creating millions and millions of opiate dependent citizens when it knowingly pushed the highly addictive oxycontin onto the public.

    University pain management of Detroit Michigan almost killed me by switching me to Fentenl Pain Patch from 10/325 Norco. I had a heart attack. This has to Stop! Pain Clinics know not what there doing! Dr.Tammy Samuel Dusevic sent me to the pain clinic!

    I read of folks who have never needed an increase from 180mg of oxycodone per day. I thought I should do that and here it is 6 yrs later and 6 per day helps. The problem is, I am only prescribed 4 a day. Of course the longest I have kept a doctor is about one year before they catch on. From manufacturers of oxycodone I AM COMPLIANT! I take them the way they were made to take, every 4 hours. Why do doctors insist on prescribing them every six hours?

    I just watched the last hour of drug task force thingy on c-span. " Opioid addiction " . I would have had trouble believing if i had not heard it with my own ears. Expert says those in prison and leaving prison will receive a hypo drug for overdose. There will be no label put on those that use this drug. She stated also that those who use this drug are not to be called addicts. " How do you overdose and not be an addict? Excluding those that have no IQ. Much sympathy for the addicts and abusers is clearly what i seen. Also said that herion and hydrocodone are nearly identical to one another. The autopsy's of those who abuse cant tell the difference between the two. Dont know, but thats not what i had been told to believe. To sum it up, if your honest your in trouble. if you are other, you may get pain treatment. Im just the messenger here. I hope that i wake up from this bad dream some day!

    My wife has 12 different documented diseases, now has uncontrolled bp, takes 8 pills a day for that, maybe they should make the drs lower her meds because some stupid addict who willingly chooses to use opiates, now abuses bp meds? Why is the heroin use skyrocketing!? Duh, you idiots want to look good, elections coming up right? Hows that working? Treat the person who abuses drugs, but dont treat people like my wife who would use them to actually be a functioning part of famiky and U.S. , and NOT treat her! Are addicts more important than law abiding citizens? Oh bt wait, the people that control this, arent their interests also financial? Big pharma backs its selected few, who by the way are elected? And PROP, their interests lie in the rehab business? Hmmm.. . So much for looking out for our interests! After all, we are just commoners, who, by the way, make up 95%of the population?. You are taking away a very important ideal, "pursuit of happiness"? Would you be happy if it were you in pain, every hour of every day 365 days a year with no treatment to help? But, oh, those poor slobs that take drugs and CHOOSE to abuse, well, we just have to help them? Put the honest pain patient aside, after all, how much noise and trouble can they cause, now having no meds and in pain, wont have the strength to fight, too bad for them, collateral damage? No wonder the US is going to hell with that thinking, that is if they think of the consequenses at all!

    Stop the pain! Stop the suicides from untreated pain! Give drs back the right and priviledge to treat patients as they were taught! Let us be ALLOWED to have our lives back! The so called war on drugs is now the war against pain patients!mthe government is torturing its very people! Untreated pain causes heart problems that cause undue stress on the heart, raises bp, affects the kidneys etc. The warning on opioids box is may cause constipation! Nsais which are touted the cure all, raises bp, doesnt relieve chronic pain, causes heart attacks, stomach bleeding! Get the people that are making money out, they are getting rich on our suffering, and have no other interest than their own greed.! Stop the pain!

    Criminals and Heroin addicts on the street stealing to get their UN-needed drugs are treated better than a chronic pain patient. I have never been treated with such discrimination and disrespect in all my life. First, if there's not ENOUGH of your pain medication in your system they'll accuse you of SELLING your medication; if there IS enough in your system, they accuse you of being an addict! There is no winning. Meanwhile, the criminals and drug addicts don't HAVE to worry about paying their bills or affording food - they get taken care of by the state....I haven't been ABLE to work in 6 yrs and I'm in so much pain I CAN'T grocery shop to get OUT to get any food! It's ridiculous!!!

    Multiple DEBILITATING conditions is what I exist in such as: Complex regional pain syndrome, DDD, fibro, sciatica,radiculopathy, neuropathy, severe stenosis, three herniated discs, pancreatitis,cholecystitis, RSD, migraines, anxiety and depression. The anxiety and depression started when my LIFE SAVING meds were lowered to INEFFECTIVE doses that leave me in agony all day every day! Eight years I was on the SAME DOSE with success, nvr painfree, my pain was MANAGED! What is the point of going to pain mngmnt if these drs refuse to treat u with meds, meds that work! What you ppl in congress, the DEA, CDC and u Mr. President don't seem to grasp is the fact that many of legt pain pts try all alternative therapies before resorting to opiods. When nothing is working and meds are the answer why are you denying legitimate pain patients the right to a QUALITY OF LIFE! THIS IS INHUMANE! You are killing me! Every day a piece of me dies as the severe pain rips thru my body! Would you allow your dog to suffer in pain!? If you did you would be arrested on animal cruelty charges, why is it acceptable to allow human beings to suffer in severe pain!? Many legit pain pts are KILLING THEMSELVES DUE TO INADEQUATE PAIN RELIEF! STOP THE STIGMA! Dr. Kolodny and Ballantyne, are anti opiod zealots who lost kids to OD, so now the legit pain patients are paying the price for something their kids CHOSE TO DO!? Of course they won't accept responsibility, it's way to easy to blame a doctor, even though they got their drugs off the streets. Maybe you should have paid better attention to them. GET OUT OF MY HEALTHCARE! Opiods are my lifeline! If something should happen to me, my family will see to it that every single one of you who have had their hands in denying me my LIFE SAVING MEDICATIONS will be held accountable for your actions! I saw on the news a hospital has banned opiods, really..a hospital!?!? Where the sick go for treatment!? So your answer is to further deny innocent chronic pain patients any relief of pain!? The pendulum has swung way to far! PEOPLE ARE KILLING THEMSELVES FOR GOD SAKE TO ESCAPE THE PAIN! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES, INFLICTING PAIN ONTO A HUMAN BEING! GENOCIDE AT THE HANDS OF THE GOVERNMENT!! HOPEFULLY THE ACLU AND THE UN WILL BE ALL OVER UR ASSES FOR VIOLATING OUR RIGHTS TO TREAT OUR PAIN!

    My girlfriend has degenerative disc and spine disease, spinal arthritis, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, and her spinal cord is pinched between bones in her back, I cant remember the name of that condition, but the point is, she lives in excruciating pain all the time. On top of all her existing conditions that make her hurt constantly, she recently wrecked her car when she lost control due to hydroplaning and received 2 compression fractures in her spine. Needless to say, she has NO QUALITY OF LIFE AT ALL WITHOUT THE USE OF OPIATES. Even WITH them she suffers, but WITHOUT them, she's screaming in pain. She lost her last pain clinic because someone called in to her doctor and lied that she was selling her meds, just because she wouldn't give them any of them. She hasn't been able to get into another clinic because of they all want referrals and records first that they can go through to see if they want to EVEN TAKE HER AS A PATIENT, and because of the false drug test report, no one would even take her if they saw her records first. So she has been using the internet to look up pain clinics and their numbers so she can call them and find out if they require a referral first. EVERY SINGLE ONE DOES that she has found so far, BUT ONE, so she made the appointment, and went 2 hours away to get there, filled out paper work for 2 hours in the lobby before they would even see her, she took their drug test, and then was FINALLY put into a examination room to see the doctor. The doctor came in the room and told her that they couldn't take her as a patient because of a misdemeanor drug charge from 14 years ago, and she hasn't been in trouble since. To beat all, the drugs weren't even hers, but her passenger threw some pot up under her car seat when they got pulled, and let her take the fall for it. The doctor actually had the nerve to tell her that "because of that charge, that she KNEW my girlfriend wouldn't take her prescriptions the way she was supposed to". If that isn't discrimination, I don't know what is!!!! How in the hell can a doctor turn away someone who desperately needs their help, because of something on their damn record???!!!???!!! That's like telling someone who has diabetes, "you got in trouble with the law 14 years ago, so I'm not going to treat your diabetes"!!!! What the hell??? Your damn criminal record should have NOTHING to do with whether or not a doctor will treat you or not!!!! It has NO PLACE in a doctors office!!!! That was the ONLY PLACE that she has found, that didn't have to have a referral and records first. Now, she is so depressed, that she is talking about suicide. I don't know what to do to help her, but what happened to her WAS WRONG!!! THAT IS WRONG ON EVERY LEVEL!!! AND IT HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH WHAT KIND OF PATIENT THEY WOULD BE!!!! NOTHING!!!

    Funny how the people who travel the nations Highway system I wore my body out building and maintaining didn't seem to mind the fact I had to take opiods then to be able to work on call 24 hrs a day. You are welcome America, it was a honor to do for you. Funny how the people who ate the meat, wore the leather, used the lumber I harvested from the farm I owned didn't mind me using opiods to provide those vital products to the country. Your welcome America, it was an honor and a pleasure. The people in the government who now denie me the medicine I need to merely clean my house, go to the grocery store, and even wipe my ass, sure didn't mind using the goods and services I provided them while using pain killers. So now Mr. DEA, MR. Government official, whoever the hell you are, get off my ass, you've sat on yours while I totally wore my body out providing these things for you. There is NO excuse for you to denie the pain relief I now need just to exist.

    Who did you do this study on? I bet it wasn't chronic pain patients? Chronic pain suffers do not die of overdoses. We don't get high. The medication is used by our pain It doesn't give you a high, it takes the edge off the pain that you must live with for the rest of your life. Now, sick people,in pain, have to drive to their Drs. Office for 30 pills bc the dr. Is afraid to give more. Depending on where you live, that can be a long, drive. My drive is 35 minutes. What does the DEA want chronic patients to do? Start hitting the streets bc we are in need of pain pills? This bill needs to be changed back.

    Well California legalized termination of life so you can stop the world and get off the planet. Obama seems to support a very tuff stance on pain killers. Obama is young and one day old age will catch up with him too. Why not just create a rule book on how to prescribe pain killers. Also have a group of doctors review medical records. If the doctors agree prescribe medicine if not offer a solution. A few years ago i was taking 1200mg of Motrin 3 times a day and Tylenol 4 tabs every six hours. The doctors did not like that for possible damage to kidneys, liver etc. Then they had me go to something stronger. So all I can say is offer a solution before creating new problems.

MANY OF THESE SEVERELY PAINFUL CONDITIONS THERE ARE NO CURES FOR. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN DEPENDENT ON PAIN MEDICATION FOR DECADES WITH SUCCESS, WHO HAVE HAD A QUALITY OF LIFE BECAUSE OF THESE LIFE SAVING MEDICATIONS..WHAT IS YOUR PLAN WHEN THE SUICIDE RATE SKYROCKETS FROM LEGITIMATE PAIN PTS WHO COULD NO LONGER TAKE THE PAIN!? WHY ARE ADDICTS LIVES BEING PUT FRONT AND CENTER AND CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS ARE BEING LEFT INA DEEP BLACK HOLE!?!? I FIND IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT NONE OF YOU ARE DEPENDENT ON SOME KIND OF MEDICATION THAT WITHOUT IT, YOU WOULD BE LEFT BEDRIDDEN, . GO AFTER THE CARTEL, OH WAIT ,SILLY ME, OUR CORRUPT CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN ARE PARTNERS WITH THE CARTEL AND BE STRIPPING LEGITIMATE PATIENTS OF THEIR LIFE SAVING MEDS WILL GIVE THEM TWO OPTIONS, TURN TO THE STREETS FOR RELIEF OR SUICIDE. THE DRUG CARTEL WILL BECOME EVEN RICHER,WITH MANY THROWBACKS TO THE GOVERNMENT. HOW IS IT THAT THE CDC IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LYING AND USING FALSE DATA TO RECORD THE OVERDOSE DEATHRATE!?!? OH THATS RIGHT, THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CDC AND DEA TURN THEIR BACKS ON THE LIES,ON THE CORRUPTION, AS IF NOTHING TO SEE HERE..WHEN YOU ARE IN FACT KILLING THE CHRONICALLY ILL!!! SHAME ON YOU!
