i have suffred chronic back pain for almost 18 years but for a little over a year now have had new pain that is unbearable! it has me bed ridden sometimes for a week or more! i am labeled n refused medication that actually works. i am a gastric bypass patient and really cant take anti inflammatories. and i have no quality of life and feel ike a burden to my family and feel it affects my 10 yr old daughter more than she deserves! because im denied pain relief and being told there is nothing wrong with me this debilitating pain has left me with 2 options, 1:fend for myself, 2:suicide because i cant take the unlivable,unbearable,untolerable pain! and i get labeled even more for choosing either option! i have a very high tolerance to pain medication which leads providers to believe that i am just seeking! ive been told i need to learn to live with this pain because they will not treat me with what i need! this is unfair not just to me but my family espescially my daughter! i dont know what to do anymore. i barely leave my bed let alone my house!and the pain has affected my eating habits and i am back down under 100 lbs n not by choice! i feel i am trapped and a bad outcome will happen if something dont change soon! i love my family and want to be able to enjoy them and be able to go places with them which is something i cant do right now! i have even had bad bed sores from being bed riddon so long! and it definately is messing with my mind emotionally by not being able to get outta bed or do anything for that matter! i am pleading for help before its too late!!! dogs get better treatment than i do!REPORT COMMENTS

No one should have to live in pain. Every night I ask the same question, why am I still here. I have no life because it is a challenge just to walk, do house work, sit for more than 20 mins. without severe back pain. My comfort zone now is my bed. Do you really think I chose this way of living or the pain that I go through on a daily basis? As a pain suffer we need help!!!! Think of it like this ( if it were one of your loved ones what would you do)?REPORT COMMENTS

Please end the war on physicians and their patients who suffer due to fear of DEA! We deserve the right to fair pain control without government intervention. Pharmacies are refusing to fill legitimate prescriptions for chronic pain sufferers. Don't we deserve better? We already suffer enough without all the extra "drug testing" & pill counting at the end of each month. This is a waste of insurance money and people who have no insurance have no choice but to suffer needlessly due to lack of funds! This is a horrible way to treat chronic illnesses due to the" bad apples"that abuse.REPORT COMMENTS

Don't bother putting me on some damn list. I take ibuprofen as needed. I do not have chronic pain AT THIS TIME. As a wise and insightful disabled person explained to a class I was in at U of M, she refers to people who are not disabled as TABs, meaning Temporarily Able Bodied. I have wonderful friends who have chronic pain and are treated shabbily by the medical TABs. There but for the grace of God go YOU.REPORT COMMENTS

If you experienced my level of pain, day in, day out, you'd be a puddle in the corner, crying and trying to kill yourselves. Shame on you for deciding I don't need or deserve my pain management medication! Some of us are NOT abusing them and deserve to have "some" quality of life. Are you willing to be responsible for all the suicide deaths that will result? My pain is intense and real. It is between me and my Doctor. You are not even familiar with my personal case and I resent this government interference in my private suffering. I'm really appalled and disappointed in all of you! Shame on you!! Why are you ignoring the epidemic of Meth in our country? This is a very real and growing problem, which is creating more crime, lives ruined and a medical nightmare. Leave me and all other chronic pain sufferer alone! (Emphasis on SUFFERING!!!)REPORT COMMENTS

I have been living with chronic pain for over 10 years now and have been through unbelievable problems just having it treated. I have numerous serious medical problems and now the DEA has made my life even harder. Not only do I have to deal with the daily pain but have to deal with trying to fill my scripts for the next month. It is costing my family a fortune to keep up with all of this garbage and I have done nothing wrong! WHY???? In over 10 years if I were going to be a problem don't they think I would have already been one? Use some common sense and stop crusading!!REPORT COMMENTS
