I have a genetic hypermobility syndrome. I have p450 polymorphism. I also have autoimmune problems. I live in excruciating pain every single day. I have been treated without dignity and respect by a few doctors, but thankfully haven't given up on myself, as much as they tried to break my spirit. I currently work just enough to pay taxes, and the rest goes to my health care. I pay my taxes, and pay for all the alternative treatments such as PT, CBT, but without medication, my life would be unbearable. I white knuckled it for years before it rapidly got worse. I have degeneration and associated arthralgia of major and small joints, OA, bone spurs, tendinitis, bursitis, Labral tears, constant myositis and myalgia, scoliosis, dysplasia, acute and chronic atraumatic injuries and subluxations, neurological issues such as extreme nerve pain and neuropathy, crps/rnd, severe sharp visceral pain, chest pain, headaches, the list goes on. I do take antiinflammatories, but they are probably destroying my body. I don't want pills. I want to feel better. I am stuck with this. It's easier to make peace with this when my pain is even mildly managed. While I do have some days when I can accomplish some of the things I used to be able to, I am no longer able to stay on top of running a household and working full time. I don't take a dime from anyone. I take my meds as prescribed. I also carry a genetic mutation predisposing me to the cancer my grandmother and mother have/had. This means even more surgeries on the to do list. I would love nothing more than to be on the other side, pain free, debating, patting each other on the back, researching and weighing people's lives like a balance sheet (well, I wouldn't do that last part). I am still ever so interested in medical science, but not at my own expense. Because of scammers, who perpetrate fraud, I should have to pay huge lab fees out of pocket? I should be treated like garbage? I should have to suffer? I have news for you, those criminals probably have ways around all of these stop gaps anyway. At this time I finally have some answers as to why my body is in this state. It took years to be heard, and taken seriously, because I appeared somewhat healthy before diagnostics proved otherwise. There was irreparable damage done in the interim. I am lucky to have a great PCP, and DPT. I am thankful for my eye doctor that helps save my eye whenever uveitis pops up do to the hlab27 antigen I carry. This painful condition is also an indication that I may have MS or ankylosing spondylitis now or some day. Whether I have JHS, EDS111, or some undifferentiated connective tissue syndrome, it makes no difference. Regardless, I am in the same amount of torturous pain, and I don't qualify for compassion and help. When I was able to work for many years in health care, in the operating room, I treated every single person as if it was a family member laying there. I put in my dues to society. I am not getting over on anyoDec 29th, 2015Someone from Newburyport, MA writes:
I have a disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It is a genetic condition that is manifested by a defect in collagen. Collagen and connective tissue comprise 80 percent of the body. People who have it tend also to have multiple comorbidities, many of which cause a lot of intractable pain. I suffer from pain due to atlantoaxial subluxation, multiple herniations in the cervical spine, severe foraminal narrowing, stenosis, myelopathy, dozens of nerve root spinal diverticulae throughout my spine, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, small fiber polyneuropathy (by biopsy), gastroparesis (caused by the neuropathy), history of a CSF leak, and much much more. This pain is intractable and incurable. I've lived with it without using pain meds until the past three years, but it was in 2012 that the pain reached a level at which I could no longer function or get out of bed without treating my back and neck/head/spine pain. Mostly bedridden, I take low dose opioid, along with other medications, to manage and stabilize my body. Now the Feds are deciding to take away our capacity to be treated; as I am already bedridden, my goal is solely to stay comfortable enough to sleep and not be screaming in pain all the time. Dr. Forest Tennant, who used to work high up in the DEA, has treated people with Ehlers-Danlos and Cancer. In a Webinar, he advocated that EDS pain is WORSE than cancer pain, as it is lifelong, progressive and incurable. In addition, we can't take NSAIDS or other drugs that add risk to blood vessel rupture. Dr. Tennant believes that the new Opioid war is too strict, that it will make life untenable for many who suffer with intractable pain. Many EDS sufferers who cannot receive proper care often consider suicide, and the rates are increasing. Without any treatment, chronic illness sufferers will turn to other means to stop their pain, even if it means finding a way to end their suffering. It has been PROVEN over the years (prior to the P.R.O.P. witch hunt) that people who use pain meds for pain do not tend to become addicted. Special interest groups are creating a witch hunt on opioids (P.R.O.P.), because the people who promote the fear-mongering run businesses like spinal ablation and addiction recovery hospitals- they want all the profits for what used to be simple to fix. If an EDS patient is given shots or nerve blocks, they can get CSF leaks, because their dura is more porous and stretchy. So there will be NO options for those of us who suffer from the most pain in the world. Twenty years ago, more people died of over-the-counter meds than the combined numbers of illicit and pain med users. Just watch: once pain meds are banned, Tylenol and NSAIDS will once again KILL more people than pain meds. It shouldn't be an all or nothing "fix." For those people who have chronic illness in which pain is lifelong, the logical thing to do would be to allow doctors to monitor, keep as low dose as possible and change painREPORT COMMENTS

I was just told that the DEA is no longer allowing Michigan physicians to treat chronic pain with narcotics. No wether this is true or not I don't know but I do know that in Michigan they are pulling the licenses of many of our pain management doctors leaving many patients with no physician and causing many to go into withdrawal. As a chronic pain sufferer I know the hassle and humiliation one tolerates in trying to get adequate pain management. The government expects you to be a productive member of society but how can one do that when their in constant pain? In this day and age you have to be dying of some painful disease in order to get your pain treated because as the doctors see it "your dying anyway so who cares if you get addicted". What about the millions of people who suffer with non terminal chronic pain? What about their quality of life? The government should not be given the power to dictate wether or not we have to live our lives in pain. I can guarantee you if they had to live with the pain that many of us chronic pain sufferes do they'd be running to their doctors for some relief!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I've suffered with chronic back pain since I was 28. About 10 years ago I had my dr. Take me off meds for A.D.D. because I was addicted to meth. I don't even like the way pain meds make me feel. I have a fear of surgery and because I refuse surgery my dr. Tells me there is nothing he can do. He sent me to physical therapy. After one session a month and a half ago I can hardly walk at age 41. In the last year I've gained almost 100 lbs. Because all I do is sit. Dr.'s are afraid of the DEA I say it's time they get sued for pain and suffering.... Maybe they will fear patients more!REPORT COMMENTS

I used to have a great paying job, but I am disabled now due to chronic pain. Corrupt doctors ignored my complaints for five years, until I was finally diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases. I was very athletic, and one of my jobs included being a karate instructor. I do not drink, smoke, or eat fast food. I am a vegan, and have never used any drugs. Until my diagnosis, I never had a prescription for any kind of pain killer. I was very healthy. Now, I can no longer walk more than two blocks, and cannot run at all. My children have never seen me run, since I was diagnosed when they were babies. I cannot jump, or play with my kids in the park. I cannot swim, or take them to Six Flags. My family is the only thing that keeps me living. Without them, my pain would be too difficult to bear. Unfortunately, they will grow up so soon, and I will never have another chance to play with them. All of my problems could be solved if I had adequate pain control every day. Instead my doctors offer mind altering drugs like anti depressants, and similar stuff that does not help at all. YOU ARE KILLING US AND CAUSING US HARM! If I did that to another person, I would go to jail for an assault. We want you, elected government officials to realize that we are not stupid. Many people do not realize that doctors are not "scared" of DEA, but are their enablers, partners in crime. See, if doctors really wanted to help, they could organize and stand up for their patients. Instead, these greedy doctors are helping the DEA. DEA needs job security, and legalizing cannabis threatens that job security. However, the BIGGEST reason for limiting our access to pain relief, is that there will inevitably be less pain prescription medications sold illegally. Since some people will sell their pills. DEA supports certain drug cartels in Mexico (that is why the DEA eliminated their Colombian competition), and those cartels sell heroin. When addicts cannot buy pills, they buy a lot more heroin, so DEA, Feds, Politicians, Doctors and Pharmacist can all make their cut. We see your dirty games, and we refuse to accept your abuse.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a nurse, I went to the doctor they gave me the diagnosis that qualified me for disability. I went from making 40,000 a year to receiving 13000 a year thru ssd. I am being discriminating against by the primary care doctor that I have just started seeing she wlll not give me vicodine until I can get a appointment with pain management doctor. And I know for a fact she gives it to my neighbor but he has private insurance my sister has private insurance and her primary Dr gives them to her this is discrimination poor people are force into pain management clinics and private insurance people can get there meds from primary doctors. I know i have been the worker bee who had no problem getting 120 oxycotiin when I was employed the when i got on medicare my doctor told me i needed to find pain mag dr. So i went for second opion to another Dr within this very large medical facility and my primary doctor said I fired him when I went to see the other dr. so now im lucky and blessed thst a local natural physicsn has helped me but people need to join together so everybody receoved equal treatmentREPORT COMMENTS

should note that doctors aren't just refusing treatment to those in chronic pain they are refusing treatment to those that are debilutatingly sick even when blood work shows problems. They just say that the numbers aren't low or high enough to justify treatment for example I have numerous health issues because doctors have ignored me for over 8 years and now I'm so sick I can barely get out of bed, severe exhaustion and extreme weakness that just gets worse everyday. Yet my blood work shows reasons why, low rbc, a viral infection that has gone untreated for years which can destroy my rbc, yet the doctors say it's all in my head. Then one even told me can't help me until I have a stroke or heart attack. Do no harm is a joke. I feel that all doctors have done is harm to me. I pray everyday that someone will help save my life that I feel us slipping through my fingers as I just get weaker and weaker.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been on pain medication for 8 to 10 years to help me cope with spinal injuries and disc replacement surgery of my neck, which the last one has not helped. Due to the severe pain, I've had spinal cord stimulator surgery, which does not cover the area of pain that I thought it would. I've tried about every type of pain medication and muscle relaxants with issues either due to severe allergic reaction to medication or other side effects that didn't allow me to continue on these medications. My physician finally found two medications that gave best results, Morphine and Percocet. These do not take away my pain but make life easier to cope. The Morphine is a time released medication which helps over the day and night, and the Percocet is a quick acting pain reliever to help break over pain when it gets severe. I was informed by my doctor that several states are working at getting their pain patients off opiate medications but at this time, he was only going to take away the Percocet pain medication. This made my life harder to deal with when I needed break over pain relief, just needed to spend more time laying in bed until I could get around the house. Then a couple weeks ago, my physician informed me that opiate pain medications do not take away pain and that he was taking me off all pain medication, to be replaced by an anti inflammatory. I stopped taking the morphine, continued with the anti inflammatory but the pain got totally out of control. I went three days in severe pain, easily a 9 level, and called my physician to please start up at least my morphine medication. I had no withdrawal symptoms, no shaking, no runny noise, not feeling ill, all I had was my severe pain that I've had before I started my pain medications. I have neuropothy in both legs, down one arm and it won't stop. I also have severe pain where a previous laminectomy was performed in my middle back, causing pain at that location and around my ribs. My pain doctor wants to perform a nerve ablation but I can't afford the surgery. I'm in my early 60's, I'd love to be working, I really enjoyed my job, I enjoyed the folks I worked with, but now with my condition, I'm totally disabled and forced to be at home. I was an active person who had many hobbies which I really enjoyed, including woodworking, waking, photography. I've had to give up these hobbies due to the fact I can no longer sit/stand for any length of period so my life has really changed, and taking away what pain medications worked for me has made my life more difficult. I've been on anti depressants since the onset of my disability, they help but life is still tough. I don't understand why the FEDS have stepped in and are controlling our doctors who are trying to help us live a better life. I pray this pendulum swings back to a neutral position so our doctors can help those of us in severe pain live a better life with our situation.

Why not ask CDC and DEA to ask these "...addicts and family members of addicts..." To do the following; send proof of their names and "actual" relation(s) and names of the family members with "addiction in questioning" - because anyone can be convinced to write even though they are NOT related and/or is a caretaker (Or has NO contact at all!) of the "addicted in question." And ask CDC to PROVE this in "documentation" to be made available for public viewing. Wait... addicts writing too? I find that difficulty to believe unless they have completed the rehabilitation.

After many years of suffering I know what dose and dose not work . That doesn't make me a drug seeker or an addict it saves mine and their time . Because of bad training I suffer more abuse than one person should go through . Keep in mind I also suffer from severe depression , ptsd , I should not have to humor them they need to show some bedside manner . I blame this on you too . You need to fix this . The problem lies on you not me . I'm sick that is the only reason to see a doctor in the first place . You have ruined the health care . You are causing the problems now fix them .REPORT COMMENTS

Doctors are not being trained correctly either . They need to realize we aren't a car payment . We are patients , human beings and should be treated as such . They do not spend enough time in an office visit to evaluate us . They Hurd us in and out like cows to make more money . They need to know they are dealing with human lives not livestock . The money is why the listen to you they don't want to loose their jobs . That is not how it should be . Doctors and you work for us remember that . Be on your toes and impress us your bosses . Yes there needs to be a change and it starts with you .REPORT COMMENTS

Don't even get me started about the people in these appointed offices . You have bad judgement . They should also be elected by us the voters for the simple reason you are out of touch with reality . Any positions in the cdc , fda , dea , should be voted in not appointed . That is the start to resolve these issues , it starts with you , not us people suffering , suffering , in God awful chronic pain . You need to clean you backyard first , then let's talk.REPORT COMMENTS

Slavery ended a long time ago , but you are making me a slave to my pain . You did this hate crime and that is what it is . You have taken any and all trust and respect for doctors away from me . I have serious medical conditions that are not being treated . I hold you all on public office responsible . You are evil people with an even more evil agenda .REPORT COMMENTS

Mr. Barak Obama, DEA, those in public office & medical physicians. I'm not sure if you will understand this but I hope you have the Christianity knowledge in you to comprehend. Due to "The Fall", our bodies are designed to decay. We are actually slowly dying from the day we are born. With medical advancements, some are able to live a longer life with appropriate medical treatments & unfortunately some aren't. You are depriving people of a longer life by not providing the appropriate pain medicine treatments. When people with chronic pain cannot get out of bed, is the pain management doctor prescribing heparin to stop blood clots? A blood clot can travel up a leg & cause a massive heart attack. Is there a nutritionist on site to help with planning appropriate diets to help those who can't stand for long periods of time to cook a healthy meal? Are walkers & canes & wheelchairs provided as they leave the office? Is there a funding program to build group homes so the people with chronic pain can all reside together, so they're not alone? There are "AA" support groups. There are support groups for people who suffer from Depression, Behavioral Health Issues, Grievance of a Loss, Anger Management, "Real" Drug Addictions. All we have is this petition site. We get one life on God's beautiful created earth, please let us choose how we want to live it. With or without pain medication, it should be our decision, not yours. From what I've read, there is no offering of anything except the answer of "I'm not prescribing you pain meds."REPORT COMMENTS

Words hurt don't they ? They don't speak as loud as your actions . That person has no business being in that public office . He and people like him with his so called illness are the one who make us who suffer look bad . This is like turning your back on your enemy with a knife in his/her hand . We choose not to turn our backs but look you in the eyes . You are the ones who hide behind the curtain. You hit and run , with no regards to who you took out , but that's okay , your above the law .
