Hello,
I’ve been using opioids consistently for the past 34 years as a result from quite severe and debilitating pain due to extreme cases of CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, FIBROMYALGIA and CHIARI MALFORMATION. I was totally bedridden and or home confined for over 20 years due to the severity of the pain and other debilitating symptoms I deal with 24 hours a day!
I never tried FENTANYL. I’ve utilized PERCOCET and DEMEROL. More recently, 180mg of OXYCODONE per 24 hour period of time. Even with my extremely well documented medical records with absolutely No abuse of any kind regarding my opioids, they continue to be a huge challenge to fill. My pain is so debilitating etc. I would not be able to continue living if I did not have access to my opioids. The pain can be at a 10+ and absolutely “TORTUROUS!” After 34 years, there is still no effective treatment or cure for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome! Unfortunately for me, I either have continued access to my opioids or it’s death by suicide! I will not try to survive a tortuous existence with absolutely no quality of life and be in excruciating, non stop pain in a completely debilitated state. I can assure you that this state of existence is far worse than death! As usual, our government continues to get it WRONG and needesy punishes the legitimate patriots TD who require this level of opioid therapy to survive and enjoy any kind of quality of life! It’s an absolute disgrace and complete failure by our medical community not to provide an effective alternative or continue to make opioids available to those of us who require them just to continue to survive.
Best wishes and good luck,
Phil
