Protect the rights of legitimate chronic pain patients access to relief
The dea and others are denying your right to pursue happiness
The DEA has been given the illegal and unjust right to deny legitimate chronic pain patients access or to limit access by charging unjustified violations and levying unjustified fines on legitimate doctors and pharmacys and or threatening same to deny or limit access to certain pain medicine in type or quantity deemed nessasary by registered and legal physicians. The dea is practicing medicine without a licence or proper knowledge of patients needs thus leading to cruel and unnessasary suffering endured by chronic pain patients. There are millions of people trapped in this quagmyer of suffering. President Obama justifies this change by saying it will save medicare millions. This is a lie, I have firsthand knowledge of my doctor prescribing a tube of cream that cost medicare 2,000.oo dollars a tube as a pain relief substitute that made me ill, two thousand dollars could purchase more than one years worth of pain medicine, I also am scheduled for a surgery that will cost medicare at least 100,000.00 dollars to relieve pain. I will still require pain medicine for incurable conditions. My quality of life is very poor. I contemplate suicide on nearly a daily basis as a result of insufficient pain relief. Please change this inhumane treatment of law abiding citizens. The dea and those responsible for these changes in law are denying patients their right of the pursuit of happiness granted by the bill of rights. Granted there are a number of bad apples in the crowd but do not punish the entire country for crimes committed by the few! Even patients who have surgery are subject to basically being treated like a drug addict and cannot receive adequate pain relief. Pain was recently determined by the medical establishment as ' the fifth vital sign', will they ignore blood pressure also? This gives the impression that our government doesn't give a damn about its citizens health or happiness. The government should have no jurisdiction and has no knowledge nessasary to dictate the amount of medicine required as requested by law abiding doctors and pharmacys required to meet the nessasary stock to treat law abiding chronic pain patients sufficiently to improve their quality of life.
