Yup. I feel you. I have been in pain mgmt over 20 years (have terrible bones/arthritis). Always been an active person with a zest for life but since being cut down to 90mme can barely move some days. Had to choose between long acting morphine or oxy. Since the cut of morphine my life has changed drastically. I go outside only once a week to run errands, otherwise I’m stuck home at 58. What’s gonna happen as we age and they allow us to suffer even more.. livid about so much of this nonsense. I am now relying on cannabis which I don’t even like but use it to make me settle my butt down at night when I really want to be doing fun things with my friends. I am thoroughly disgusted by the whole situation. Wishing chronic pain on some of these evil folks. I’m not even a drinker and now I’m having a seltzer at night to help with the pain. I pray I die before I can’t stand it anymore. Sorry for your pain. CDC messed things up with their since revised guidelines which nobody even realizes changed. Medical professionals should be able to prescribe as they see fit on a case by case basis not some random guideline that doesn’t even make sense. Ran over. ❤️

My now retired doctor, commented often about the CDC, and attempting to work around their restrictions. Problem now, is finding another Dr willing to do the same, and manage new regulations changing year to year. YES, "Medical professionals should be able to prescribe as they see fit on a case by case basis."
