Advocating for chronic pain sufferers

@19lin Right now congress is proposing a reduction in all opiods to people in general. Thats all doctors and itd on the verge of passing. We need to all write President Obama and get him to veto it until they add in chronic pain patients. I'm going to right now and make a posting on our page for everyone to do it and to tell anyone else to get thecword out fast. Newspapers. Radio stations even television. We can do any thing. That what a keyboard and telephone are for. It has to be quick. Email your senatorsand your representatives on the Federal level. There in every state and I bet a quick google will get the info for the state you live in. If this passes and I loose any meds I will be smoking the biggest hooter that I can roll. Its been 33 years since Ive smoked, and believe me I have no problem restarting. Pobably should not have stopped in the first place! Doubt if I would be taking any pain pills. briansr

This is briansr. I wrote to both my senator and my representatives without<br>the bill number. I just said the bill concerning opiates is going through<br>Congress and expressed my thought and concerns. They know what bill I'm<br>talking g about and I got a reply from all. I'll try to get bill #.<br>
briansr I live in a state where opioids are regulated. I can only get them for 30 days then repeat visit to the doc to prove they are needed. The epidemic of abuse and illegal sales has left legit sufferers out in the cold. I do use the wonderful nurse Mary Jane and she helps greatly but there are still many times that a strong reliever is needed. I wish there was a way to make our senators and all congress experience our pain and see how long they could take it without any relief. We need to keep on them in any event to get the proper wording in so we get exclusions for real sufferers.
Hi @chefbrown. Welcome to Connect! Thanks for joining our community and sharing your opinions with us. As you can see, this is a hot topic in the chronic pain group, so you're in the right place. Can you tell us a little more about yourself so other members of the community can get to know you? Are you really a chef? 🙂
I was told today, to forget Dr's. Caring enough to give pain meds, in fear of losing their license, or being sued. Especially if your on disability, medicaid, Medicare. It's not worth it them. They would rather loose you as a patient, or just ignore your comments to how much pain your in, even though the Mri's or whatever tests show extreme damage that cannot be relieved with ibuprofen or Tylenol. They don't care. The reason for all this is the people that get oxy, or why ever pain meds are selling it to kids, other adults who do not need it for up to a hundred dollars a pill. They are the ones who should be in jail. Living in my pain is not going to be a option for me.
some MD's where I am from don't even want to give out medicinal marijuana but everyone else in the world can get higher than a kite et who cares:(

This is important what is the bill number in either the Senate or House? It will start with either HR or S followed by a number. If we have that we can write directly to each person and state the specific bill number without it we are just making a general comment to them. 19lin
