Drug dealers and their kingpins target people and cause "chronic pain" so they either go to street drugs and or/ big pharma for pain meds. Those with chronic pain are not always caused from drugs - some are a result of broken bones and other car accident like injuries; including ski injuries. As shown in Am Jur Proof of Facts concerning "futures"from medical injuries. Why do you let these criminals gang stalkers on meth and other drugs among us in the U.S. and torture our U.S. citizens? Are you even aware of the corruption probelled by lies, fabrication, greed and out right cyber esponiage? My identity has been stolen at least 8 times pursuant to notifications from big corporations: banks and insurance companies. The records are fabricated; I was just pulled over and harassed in that this officer said my car records to don't match the plates? Is he that ignorant? Or does he have a Christmas bonus riding on the gang related activities? -

I have chronic pain from a genetic "orphan disorder" and have been taking pain meds for years to get me through the day. I have never abused the drugs and I have never gotten "high" from them, they relieve pain, nothing else. This new rule means I am forced to pay at least one co-pay per month now. A hefty increase in my monthly budget with the $45 co-pay. That is in addition to the visits to the dermatologist ($45) & opthomologist ($45) which starts to add up. This is just another stupid reaction to drug abuse. Treat drug abuse as a disease instead of a criminal act and leave the rest of us alone. Stupid stupid DEA.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been called a criminal and Dr shopper. My former pain Dr was more worried about the DEA than his patients pain. It is bad enough having to live with chronic pain. It's worse when Dr's cand pharmacists are giving you the fish eye whenever you fill or pick up a prescription. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic law. "First do no harm"REPORT COMMENTS

I suffer from Syringomyelia, it is bad enough that most doctors have no clue what this condition is - but now to finally have a doctor who was good enough to help me, look into my condition and work with me - she should never be scrutinized! And I should not have to wait 10-12 days to get a prescription to treat a condition that I have years of documented tests and filed on!REPORT COMMENTS

I have 0 quality of life without pain pills. I have Fibromyalgia and several autoimmune disorders. I can't take antii inflammatory meds because I have PBC. I have IBS. I have ulcers.

I'm a chronic pain patient. I have severe fibromyalgia and exposed nerves at the base of my spine, pinched nerves and herniated disks. I have NEVER abused my medication and am even urine tested monthly. I have NEVER had a bad urine test. You can't lump everyone together, we suffer daily and our medications help us to function. Without it you're condemning us to life in our beds.REPORT COMMENTS

Tired of being treated as a criminal when I'm dealing with a laundry list of medical conditions that are causing me constant pain. Live in my body for a day with fibromyalgia and Graves and osteoarthritis! I wish you could, but again I'd never wish this pain on anyone! I deserve to be able to live my life and not be forced to suffer constantly! So does EVERY other patient with documented medical issues that cause PAIN! Pain is real, give us some ethical and compassionate care back!REPORT COMMENTS

Please let us pain patients have our rights back. It is not fair for us that are legitimately in pain. If laws against drug dealers would be tougher in each state rather than a slap on the wrist there would not be as much illegal drug use in this world. The laws are condemning us who do not abuse drugs and take them only as precribed.REPORT COMMENTS
