I see a doctor in Washington State. My doctor knows I was already at too low of a dose to properly treat my pain. Yet, here comes another reduction. And another one is planned for next year, I am told. So those of you signing this petition, be aware that I was told next year MME is planned to drop yet again, to 50MME. At least in Washington State. I can't find a doctor in my own state that will take me, so I guess unless something happens, I'll be cut down again next year. If I'm still around that is.

I am investigating a class action lawsuit to just get our rights back to have our pain managed again. A lot of trouble to go through for something so simple. We don't seek any money for our effort from the government. If you want to help us, join the War On Pain (Official) group and volunteer in any way you can to lead meaningful change and help us create the largest civil rights crime since the 1960's. We can find a way to protect our young people from illegal street opiates like heroin and illegally made Chinese Fentanyl that has been found added to boost heroin's effect by the Drug Enforcement Agency. And at the same time protecting the rights of your loved ones or yourself to receive narcotic pain medicine when you are rushed to the ER from a severe car accident, or when your parent in a nursing home falls and breaks their hips and needs some pain medicine to go through physical therapy, or when you have cancer and it invades a tissue that causes severe pain, or when you like me have spinal cord damage and unrelenting intractable severe arm and neck pain and many other ways you can have chronic pain. Our government is not getting the full story and is too focused on the addiction side, and is forgetting about all these real needs of pain relief that give people with severe accidents and severe health issues some relief without resorting to suicide or emigration out of the land of the free and home of the brave. Join the fight for your freedom!REPORT COMMENTS

My husband has adhesive arachnids,degenerative disc disease ,chronic kidney disease and more.He had been on same dose for 8yrs no increases. Pain mess were a last resort for him so he could continue working to support our family despite suffering intractable pain.His doctor of 18yrs has exhausted all appeals with insurance company. Our government is allowing insurance companies to play doctors because they are quoting the false inflated numbers by cdc. Its hard enough to find a doctor that knows anything about this rare disease and now we are forced to trust and insurance company to know more than a doctor?Not only insurance companies but not we have to get through pharmacist, and now our own states!How can this be legal that all these entities have the right to tell my doctor what's medically necessary for his rare disease. We had to hire a disability attorney. This was a stable high functioning patient with a rare debilitating incurable disease. He is being forced on to disability before his disease took him out.If addicts are allowed life time meds to promote stability and function then why can't my husband be allowed the same treatment. Both meds have potental for addiction and diversion. My husband has never had addictive behavior.He has had same job for 17yrs.We have been married since 1993 and have kids and grandkids.

I have severe osteoarthritis and all my vertebrae are crushed with over 100 bone spurs poking into my spinal cord. I’ve been told by roughly 20 Drs that there is no treatment or cure & that my pain will only increase until my condition kills me. No shots or electrical stimulation can relieve any of the pain. My Drs told me when I was diagnosed that I would require pain medication in increasing amounts until I die. Why now are they being forced to reduce my medication and keep me bedridden and screaming in pain? This isn’t right. I should be allowed some dignity in the time I have left.REPORT COMMENTS

I have peripheral neuropathy and rheumatoid arthritis and suffer daily from chronic pain. All the doctors give me is gabapentin which does nothing for the pain.

Help us Please!Up until my disability in 2015, I led an organization of hundreds of professionals working for a major defense contractor However, since I was 19 years old, I have suffered ankylosing spondylitis. I had my left hip replaced in 1998. In 2008, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and told I had 4 compression fractures and some degree of scoliosis, which grew to 5 fractures and a loss of 2 inches of height by 2013. Also in 2013, I was diagnosed with a form of spinal cord damage/injury called cervical spondylotic myelopathy & radiculopathy, resulting in a large bruise in the center of the cord and permanent deformation of the cord, despite a 6 hour neurosurgery in 2014. Also, despite surgery, the nerve roots of the radial and medial nerve are still moderate to severely compressed. Every day I have some form of excruciating arm and neck pain. Some days feels like I have my thumb stuck in a light socket and I feel the same shock at the same time in my neck near my jaw, where it seems to radiate down my arm into my thumbs. Other days I have the sensation of someone holding a burning flame to my fingers or joints of either hand. However, mostly I feel the stabbing at my wrists and throbbing in the deltiod muscles, which often result in large muscular knots caused by the damaged neurons in my spinal cord. My neck and in fact entire spine is are nearly 100% fused by either arthritis as a result of inflammation over decades since my late teens and surgical fusion in 2014. My neck fused in a forward, tilted right position, that causes torque from a moment arm. My altered physiology crushes the occipital nerve creates one of the worst headaches you can imagine that lasts for hours to days. Beyond the damage to my spinal cord and nerve roots that are permanent, incurable, and marginally treatable with a dozen prescriptions, as well as the severe headaches, I also have spasms in my lumbar spine from a combination of scoliosis and a some instability that means the lumbar spine muscles begin to cramp and also form knots that my wonderful physical therapists can feel with her hands and work on with a combination of electrical shocks and ultrasound, but unfortunately these knots come back the very next day, in an endless cycle. Also, like my hip, all the joints of my lower body are worn out, including both hips, both knees, the big toe of both feet, resulting in bone spurs and damaged or destroyed cartilage resulting in the grinding bone on bone in all those joints. Now, I have a bone spur growing off my right thumb at the final joint before the fingernail. My rheumatologist recently diagnosed these combination of multiple joint damage as “generalized osteoarthritis”. I also have asthma, recurrent bronchitis and pneumonia, along with GERD/acid reflux, gastritis, and esophagitis from NSAID use and other serious health conditions. In an vain attempt to stop opiate overdoses that have led to deaths young people, victims like myself with severe are losing access to our last lines of defense, the last medication available to help us lead as normal a life as is possible given our severe pain and serious health conditions is being threatened and stripped away from us a vain attempt to rein in the overdose deaths now being driven by illegal imported Fenanyl and Heroin. In my 17 years of reliance on strong pain medications, I have taken approximately 20,000 doses without a single incident, 0 lost prescription refills, 0 early refills, 0 problems with annual drug screening, 0 ER visits for pain, and a “blind” psychological test in 2018 determined I am 0 % risk of opiate abuse. Yet now my final resort, my last line of defense against otherwise debilitating is being stripped away from me, the only means to avoid becoming an invalid, totally dependent on my family for every aspect of life. Despite a stellar record of both work and civic duty as Assistant Scoutmaster and Troop Chaplain, I am facing the likely odds of being tortured until my death, because other people abused illegal street opiates. Without your intervention, I am destined to lose by August. The DEA is trying to implement a CDC “guideline” as a de-facto regulation, despite the fact that the ever tightening grip of government is only driving the death rates HIGHER while prescription opiates peaked in 2011 and have declined since. Please preserve our freedom from such oppression and torture at the hands of government bureaucrats who seem more concerned with illegal opiate use for recreational purpose, than preserving the rights of the disabled, senior citizens, and other unfortunate victims of chronic pain. The most helpless members of society, those who did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve these human rights violations as citizens of the United States of America. Stop driving our veterans who incurred severe battlefield injuries, yet are being tossed out by VA hospitals and commit suicide rather than face chronic pain with no hope of relief.

Every word of this is true. We are suffering and doctors are now afraid of giving chronic intractable pain patients anything. Both myself and my wife have heart problems and have been told by our cardiologist absolutely do not take NSAIDS. When we go to others drs for something acute and we say we cant take NSAIDS we get that "look" and immediately are treated differently. About a month ago I had to go to the ER because I was having chest pain. When the Dr and I were going over my history and what meds I was on I told him I couldnt take NSAIDS . After the conversation his demeanor and attitude changed towards me. He did no testing looked at me said its just muscular pain. With my history we knew better. I signed myself out AMA and went to another hospital where I was admitted and had a cardic cath done resulting in my having a stent placed. Drs who dont take us seriously and judge us will will one day kill someone if they havent already. I am a person with pain. Chronic intractable pain. I am not an addict.

I am a 59 year old chronic pain sufferer. I have rheumatoid arthritis , degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia and last year I had stage 3a breast cancer and now have added pain and scar tissue from that surgery. I only started pain management after exhausting every avenue to get out of pain. NSAIDS gave me a duodenal ulcer and they are dangerous and deadly causing strokes and heart attacks! Chiropractic made my condition worse and brought me to my knees when my adjustments were impinging on bone spurs and nerves causing me more pain. Physical therapy did nothing to help ! I have never been part of any drug doctors and take the small amount of pain medication I receive responsibly! I do many procedures to also help control me pain like radial frequency burns and epidurals. I have taken the same dosage and amount of pain medication for 5 years. 1-10mg. Percocet every 6 hours and 2 tramadol a day. So there is NO opioid abuse taking place. I was informed today that the D,E,A, is dictating I can no longer have my pain medication and my tramadol was taken away. I am mortified that the government is involved in taking my pain management away because THEY can't control drugs coming in from Mexico and China laced with fentanyl that drug abusers are dying from. The government has never been able to control illegal drugs and unfortunately never will. Why are normal Americans trying to live a normal life without pain be punished because of drug addicts .I feel like this has turned into a communist dictatorship!! When normal hard working Americans can not get relief from chronic pain .something is seriously wrong with the system! The DEA wants us to suffer and ruin our lives to push their own agenda. This is so wrong and unconstitutional. Why are you targeting Americans who have absolutely NOTHING to do with illegal drugs. And why are they involved in my pain management... I am mortified and sick and tired of hearing about The war on opioids every time I turn on the news! There will always be drug abusers that's just the way it is. Why are you targeting law abiding citizens and demonizing Doctors who are trying to help Chronic pain sufferers that are NOT QUACKS. This is all so wrong ,so, so wrong. And you are ruining peoples life that need legitimate pain control.. Soon we will have another Hitler in office..that's where we are headed when government controls what you can and can not take to ease chronic pain.. Remember you reap what you sow.. one day you will need pain control and not be able to get help because some politician wanting brownie points said you can't get pain relief ..They already monitor every prescription you get. So people are NOT doctor shopping ..Why are you punishing people like myself This country is doomed if this continues. Baby boomers are getting old now and there are 100 million chronic pain sufferers . the statistics are only 1 PERCENT OF CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERES get addicted.

Hello my name is Stephanie. I'm 2 months off my pain medicine that I've been on since 2005.

I have been trying to take alternative medicine from the doctor gabapentin (makes me lethargic) mobic ( Jack's my guts and doesn't work) and as always a muscle relaxer which I take as needed. To live in this kind of pain again makes me go backwards to when this all began and I wanted to kill myself. I can't believe that knowing all this information about me that a doctor would inflict this kind of torture on me again. My doctor is afraid he will be sued just for treating me with the same medicine he's had me on for years. It makes no sense to me that here in Ohio our gov John Kasich is pushing pot onto our streets after we voted against it, but I can't have the medicine that I need.

I don't live life...I exist from day to day hoping the pain doesn't make me throw up, hoping I can make it to a family gathering. Please don't ignore this whole other side of the coin. Thank you for your time and consideration.REPORT COMMENTS

Please. Do something to help those of us who have to live with chronic pain, which often is debilatating. I have lived in pain since high school. I am about to turn 52...count those years and imagine pain so bad it makes you vomit for days, until you go to e.r. because you have puked up everything in you system including bile. I have tried every treatment out there including holistic options. Oxicodine does nothing for my pain. The only treatment that works is morphine through an I.v. after having been created like a drug addict by Drs in e.r. is very demeaning, I had my Dr. Write a letter (rx) on how to treat and they still refuse.

It's worse than some of you think. I now know 3 physicians with well-established reputations who have been threatened by the DEA for doing their jobs. At 67, a military veteran, industry retiree, and even an event in my past (truck smacked me while I was riding a bike!) and NOW we find out we're living in a tyranny? Thanks for the wake-up call, DEA.REPORT COMMENTS
