I have been a chronic pain patient for 15 yrs with rsd, I can not understand why I can not get the proper medication to keep my pain under some control, because doctors continue to think that every pain patient is a drug seeking idiot. There are times when I am in so much pain I cant move,think or even talk to my children or my wife. I think that doctors should re-think they way they treat chronic pain patients, since all we are doing is trying to get some of our life back that the pain has stolen away .Nov 29th, 2014Someone from Johnstown, PA writes:
You do realize they are doing this to 1. Force people on to heroin. 2. Increase prison population. 3. Cause depopulation via suicide and 4. cause people to suffer. These people do not care about you, or your doctor or your pain. They probably sit there and jack off thinking about you in pain. These are sick creeps in our government and thats all there is too it. We have to either 1.Vote them out and completely change the way we get pain medicine. or 2. Second american revolution if all other peaceful methods have failed. I for one would rather die than live like thisREPORT COMMENTS

This is sickening when I first hurt my back I could get hydrocodone no problem and now they are trying to make it harder to get? Hydrocodone is like candy anymore ive been on pain meds so long and been suffering from worse and worse pain. Yes if your opiate nieve its not. They need to not only repeal this law but change the entire pain management system! We are denied our right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Life in utter despair and pain and misery of not being able to get out of bed is not life, they are denying us the right to life, they are denying us and our doctors liberty. 1. noun the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. How can one be happy when one is in absolute misery all day almost everyday and contemplates suicide. WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. We also need to sue for all the people who have committed suicide because the pain and the hopelessness was just unbearable. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! We are forced to either live in horrible pain or find our medications through illegal means (which I think is their plan). So they can have more prison labor. No more just sitting back and being quiet. When me and my fiance have documented proof of our pain and cannot find a pain doctor or PCP to take us or treat us it is utter ********. My fiances doctor told her to deal with the pain because 24 is too young to take pain medicines, she told them 24 is too young to have 4 disc protrusions in her back and 3 in her neck and to suffer from horrible back pain making her unable to walk and severe headaches everyday. They said oh thats too bad because we will not send you to a pain clinic without telling them we do not want you prescribed narcotics. We live in a nazi germany society when it comes to pain management and we are the jews!REPORT COMMENTS

I am a handicapped veteran, who suffers from Charcot's Neuroarthopathy. The bones in my feet are broken, and will never heal. My VA doc cut me off of my pain meds cold turkey and gave me foot cream! Over the counter foot cream to treat a broken foot. I used to be a functioning human being, and educator who graduated with honors. Now, I'm on welfare, and perpetually bed ridden, all because the DEA decided to change the rules so that legal drugs would be harder to get. Now, for the first time in 30 years, I'm drinking. I drink like a fish these days. It's the only way I can handle the pain. Many thanks to the brave lil' soldiers at the VA and the DEA for steering me clear of possible drug addiction. Being an alcoholic is way more fun!REPORT COMMENTS

My daughter has been in chronic pain for more than 20 years due to a car accident. The accident ocurred because of some careless driver. She now cannot get any of her pain medication. The pain management doctors won't see her and tell her there are alternatives. Funny thing is that they won't tell you what they are. Her primary physician says that she cannot write any prescription for any pain medication. The ER doctors will only give her less than half of her regular dosage and then will only give her enough for 8 days. During this time, she is violently sick because she is detoxing and in terrible chronic pain. She does not want to live anymore. She has two children and a grand child whom she rarely sees because she is in such horrible pain. She has no life and does not understand how a country like the US could let this happen to its' people. She has heard of 3 people who she once knew that committed suicide because they were also in chronic pain and could not take it anymore. How many more people are going to have to take their lives before something is done? Yet we the good ole USA are bleeding hearts when we see areas devastated by tornadoes, floods, etc. and yet our DEA Government sits back and does NOTHING WHEN THEIR OWN PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. SHAME ON YOU. I WOULD HATE TO SEE ONE OF YOU OFFICIALS WHO SIGNED THIS HEINOUS DOCUMENT EVER END UP INJURED AND END UP WITH CHRONIC PAIN. OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT - YOU WOULD MAKE SURE YOU GOT THE MEDICATION THAT YOU NEEDED!REPORT COMMENTS

The DEA's war on prescription pain medication is ill-conceived and inhumane. In order to prevent a minority from abusing prescription pain medications the DEA has placed a significant burden on literally millions of U.S citizens like me who rely on prescription pain medication to make our lives bearable. Doctors and clinics are now afraid to prescribe prescription pain medication even to patients they've been treating for years for fear of harassment by the DEA, leaving millions of long-suffering Americans like me in agony and no longer able to lead normal lives.REPORT COMMENTS

I must have forgotten why laws existed. Did I miss something in the last 10 years of my working 2 jobs to make ends meet? I thought laws were put in place to detain, indict, and prosecute criminals to the fullest extent allowable by LAW. To ward off illegal activity. Not to punish legally abiding citizens. Don't punish me on your way to fighting lawlessness. Lawless acts pertaining to HCP, et al. 1. stealing of HCP 2. diverting of HCP 3. acceptance of HCP...either by theft or diversion. 4. falsifying legal medical documents by increasing number of HCP pills and/or refills. 5. possession of HCP without proper diagnosis by an MD. 6. MD run pill mills 7. frequently changing doctors, pharmacies to acquire HCP Lawfulness pertaining to HCP, et al. 1. taking prescribed doses 2. having proper diagnosis from an MD for HCP 3. same doctor, same pharmacy for HCP use 4. no diversion of HCP Any activity outside what is listed in a LAW is reason to prosecute. Don't punish me. Go after the ones you know are breaking the law. Don't issue a blanket rule and expect law abiding citizens to sit back and be punished to for following the law or rule. My pain management doctor quit prescribing HCP which helped ease my pain. He said NO MORE because of the new laws on HCP from the DEA, FDA and HHS. I call BS on that and anyone who supported the idea of punishing law abiding citizens. I'm sorry, BUT, it's not my fault your son OD'd on HCPs, maybe you should've cared less about your BMW, or 80 work week and more about what he was doing before it was too late. If I sale my HCP, or give them away ARREST ME!! If someone else sells their HCP or gives them away ARREST THEM!! It's that simple. BUT leave me the HELL alone if I'm following the LAW! This is sickening!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I have a herniated disc and S.I. problems for over 9 years now. I have undergone over 70 physical therapy visits, numerous pool therapy visits, not to mention numerous chiropractic visits, back injection treatment, and being a guinea-pig to many different medications. I was told by my back Doctor's that surgery wasn?t a good option for me.; so after finally finding a medication that worked for me called Hydrocodone, This medication actually helped the pain and helped me to maintain my days, I have since been cut off the Hydrocodone medication by my current Doctor and I was not even tapered off of this narcotic medication. Keep in mind; I did not go to her because i was not happy with the meds or any other reason. She said that this had to be done because of the D.E.A. Scheduling changes. My Dr changed my medication to Oxycodone, and this med was not working for me until she upped the dosage, since then she lowered the dosage and I am very miserable. I raised waves with the Drs Staff because she did not prescribe what we discussed and a dosage that actually did help. And the staff would not let me discuss this matter with the Doctor. Please keep in mind that I have NEVER failed a drug test, NEVER lost nor had any medications stolen, never been to the E.R. for meds, and never gone Dr seeking for meds. I am miserable. I AM SIGNING THIS TO STOP BEING A VICTIM OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENT AND A department called the D.E.A. These Departments feel that they can have the power to control our Doctor's Decisions and the lack of the patient?s rights and quality of life decisions. Because our government and D.E.A. cannot figure out a logical solution to the abusers that seek some of the selected and abused medications the patient must suffer these consequences. D.E.A. PLEASE LIVE ONE DAY IN MY SHOES. you have no clue how miserable and what it feels like to constantly be in continuous PAIN, It is no wonder why we have so many people self medicating, Drug and alcohol abuse, and or deaths due to people not being able to seek help from the doctor to help them in chronic pain. I wish I wasn?t in pain; I was not given another treatment option except to deal with it, I WILL BE THE FIRST OF MILLIONS TO SIGN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO GET OUR RIGHTS AND LIVES BACK. Please allow the patient a say in their health decisions and treatment. So much for the patient?s HIPPA LAWS. These laws are not as good as the paper that that they are written on.

Everyone must bring this issue to the for front of the public media, social media, and to all political leaders to get your patient rights back that have been taken away!!! Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REFAarpMWo8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isOlT5yujAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsGIRDaoEis We Oppose Any Ban of Vicodin (Hydrocodone HCl) We, the People of the United States, feel we have the right to have access to medications that have, as their primary effect, relieving of acute or chronic pain. Vicodin (Hydrocodone Hydrochloride) has a proven track record of being a reliable medication for relieving pain enough that those afflicted with disabling pain, may function day to day. It appears that an administrative panel of the FDA have voted to ban Vicodin from use by patients, at the same time as they have moved to try to decrease dosage of certain over the counter pain products containing "Acetaminophen" (Tylenol). We see these actions as ultimately causing millions of people to suffer needlessly with intractable pain, simply because allegedly SOME people abuse these substances. Some people abuse and intake too much food, but it would be folly to ban all people from having access to food, in the same sense that it will cause needless suffering to millions, to remove one of the staples of pain management. Thus, we petition the government for redress of our grievances against this wrongheaded and ultimately, dangerous path which the Food and Drug Administration has embarked upon. We believe this vote was an over-reaction and a knee jerk response to a phantom problem. At the very least, before any hasty actions are undertaken, this should be put to a popular referendum to the people that will ultimately be harmed by this foolish proposed ban.REPORT COMMENTS

This new law will cause an increase in suicide rates nationwide thanks to the government bureaucrats thinking they know better than doctors. People living in pain have now had any small chance of quality of life ripped from them. Those who are in chronic pain like cancer patients have to have this medication just to bare with pain day to day that is disabling. I guarantee not one of those who voted this law in has ever dealt with severe chronic pain themselves or with their loved ones. This is inhuman, uncompassionate, non-caring, heartless, neglect. Oh and thanks for creating a larger border drug problem now as the DEA and Government has created a entirely new market for illegal drug smugglers, they have given them everything but a store front to sell out of and this law will do nothing to stop the abusers, it only harms the honest patients that they have made victims. The government has only done one thing right consistently and that is screw things up for everyone. Did they do any real research and real studies of real patients, NO!!! They assumed based off the illegal abusers who will always get their hands on illegal drugs which the government wastes hundreds of billions of dollars on their losing drug war, they can't even secure the border allowing drugs and criminals to enter the U.S. everyday. PUT THIS TO A NATIONAL BALLOT VOTE AND LEAVE THE POLICITIANS OUT OF IT.
