@jimhd I don't know how any of have the strength to deal with all of this. I really don't. My heart breaks for you and all of us here, that we cannot even get the meds we need. To know that there is a med out there that really helps you at the right dosage, and that you have to fight to receive it is horrific. We really do need the law to change. Doctors take care of themselves first, in not breaking the law. And to think there is no real proof that opiods don't help neuropathy is horrific. I can't even deal with this. I am so sorry, Jim.

Oh yeah Jim, I forgot to say, opiophobia is behind substandard care. The media blows it up everywhere! I don't think you should present or say these words.
Regarding getting in to be seen, if they don't get you in, in a timely manner especially if you tell them your pain is intolerable, I know from when I worked in the hospital and clinic, the magic words to get you in the door were, "are you denying me care"?
You definitely have to choose your words. You don't want any medical provider think you can be a malpractice liability. Then you really won't be able to find any doc to take you as a patient!!
I will be praying it all works out!
Sorry @lorirenee1 and @bustrbrwn22 for using this post to complete my thoughts on the message I just sent to Jim. @jimhd

Oh, LoriRenee. bless your heart. I love you. The issue is not the law. I wish it was. The CDC Guidelines are NOT law, they are the medical recommendations by what is considered or once was, the premier, unbiased authority in medicine and trending of diseased population for the United States. They are not supposed to be politically, enforcement, employment, or penalty-driven. That age is over.
The DEA has taken, with the approval (whether intention, unintentional, spoken, unspoken, written, unwritten, authorized, or unauthorized) of Congress and the President of the United States and the American Public, these guidelines and applied them AS LAW.
They are not merely threatening PROSECUTION for violation of GUIDELINES, they are actually destroying lives by ENFORCING THEM. These ACTS are illegal because GUIDELINES ARE NOT LAWS. These guidelines were not written by Congress, voted upon, passed, and/or signed into law by the President of the United States... the only person who can enact federal law without the express action of Congress.
I love our country but I'm suffering because of it.
