The dea, the cdc, and politicians , should be doctors. Yes that's correct . Why you say ? So we can be treated by them . They seem to know all the answers . I'm sure they all have medical ART diplomas . So that way they can see us suffer every day . Then maybe it would occur to them that people do suffer on a daily basis . That's the problem they hide and steer clear of us voters , out of sight out of mind .REPORT COMMENTS

I know of many people, particularly those with aortic dissections, who have died because doctors wrote them off as "drug seeking" and sent them home. I also know of thousands of chronic pain patients who have committed suicide because no doctor would help them with their pain and they could not handle it any more. Remember, "First, do no harm." Right now a great deal of harm is being done. Judgmental doctors are responsible for the unnecessary deaths of thousands of people.REPORT COMMENTS

If we were "bad people", we would have blown up many a doctors office by now. We have not urinated on the walls of the waiting room waiting for a late show up from the doc who has a hangover from yesterday. But it has crossed my mind! Just think of it as holy water. They need an ocean of it.REPORT COMMENTS

Add to Effie g below. What they are doing is with full intent to refuse treatment to most. They willfully put false statements on your record. They destroy a good name you once had and was proud of.They choose money over god. They willfully shook hands with the devil. I shake the dust off my shoes when I leave a clinic. They are fully aware that you suffering. As you say Effie, it will cost them more than any amount of money this earth can offer. You cant be of god and be against his people. They keep bibles in many offices....nothing but deception.REPORT COMMENTS

I have a voice, I've been using it, but NOONE is listening. We chronic pain patients have CIVIL RIGHTS. Why do we have to pay the price because of drug abusers? We deserve a quality of life just like anyone else does. We are NOT criminals, we are PATIENTS. We did not ask to be ill, I did not ask the drunk driver to HIT me. I did not ask to be born with Charcot Marie Tooth disease. I used to be happy, I loved life! Now every day is a struggle. I cannot clean my house it causes too much pain, I cannot even do the dishes standing at the sink causes too much pain. I can go on and on here and write a whole BOOK. The DEA, CDC, and our government have taken away our rights to FAIR medical treatment. If it were not for my son and a grandchild on the way I would NOT be here anymore. There are MILLIONS of us Chronic Pain Patients who are VOICING our Civil Rights BUT NOONE is listening! Our DOCTORS have lost their rights to treat us as they see fit, their licenses are being threatened. You our government reduced the pill mills BUT you have NO IDEA what you have done to the quality of life of millions of chronic pain sufferers! You are causing SUICIDES and causing the pain sufferers to turn to the STREETS for DRUGS. You our government are making the problem MUCH WORSE. What do we have to do to be HEARD??????REPORT COMMENTS

Effie I really hope these posts are going to the appropriate people & they are taking this with serious attention. Actually reading because our voices matter. I know all of you are very frustrated & full of many different emotions due to the DEA & the wrongful decisions being made. I support all of you & your in my thoughts & prayers. They followed their calling, chose to care for the sick, whatever ailments they may be. It is supposed to be a "dedicated" calling. Just as the Apostles followed Christ, believing in his teachings & dedicated their lives in spreading the good news of Christianity, Faith & that He is our Lord & Savior. How can one today spread the good news of a physician? Christ is the physician of our souls & doctors are "supposed" to be the physicians of our bodies. Jesus healed many, why can't people in the medical profession help those who suffer in pain? Is this pleasing to God? NO, it is not. Nothing belongs to us, none of it. We are God's beloved & we live on His created earth. Christ suffered on the Cross for three days. He "purposely" endured pain for us. He gasped for air, he was given vinegar to drink, all for us, to grant us life & eternal life. If all physicians stood for an 8 hour work day, holding their arms completely spread out, without moving, their muscles would ache, their entire bodies would ache, they would tremble, wanting the pain to go away. Maybe then they would realize the pain that their patients endure every day, every hour, every minute. "Lift up your Cross & follow me". How can a doctor do that? He/She can't, they have a tough cross to bear on judgement day, when they meet our Lord & Savior. We do have a loving and forgiving God but ... Christ walks along side us & we see glimpses of your earthly life, the good doings & the wrongful doings. When physicians are in front of Christ, they really need to beg for his great mercy on their sinful souls. "Treat others as you would like to be treated". Stop hurting God's beloved & take care of your brothers & sisters in Christ. Live a humble life with humility & not boast with your script pad that you have control of! Follow your calling! All of our graves are the same size. Again, may God have mercy on their sinful souls.REPORT COMMENTS

You so called pain doctors with the steroids should also be in jail . Steroids are illegal they do more harm than good . You should take your own medicine and have your blood pressure and sugar levels out of control .
