This post showed up on another FB page from a Father that had lost his daughter to the war on drugs …
Please people ! Can not you get it ? They want us all to do as my Stepdaughter did , and that was for us to commit suicide ! It has absolutely nothing to do with curbing opiate addiction! It’s tough to imagine but it is so very true as they used my Stepdaughter as a experiment of how far they could push a person living in horrible Chronic Pain and 4 years ago they got their wish when she committed suicide ! We all need to either wire to the President our Congress people and Senate and at least let them know we are fully aware of this inhumane treatment of people suffering from Chronic Pain when it has been proven to give us some type of a normal existence! It looks as if it doesn’t matter what we do but we must at least let them that are the powers that be know we are aware of what these Nazi Bastards are getting done! Don’t you know that Heroin Dealers are thrilled with this Nazi Ultimatum against us that are sick? This next is a response to a fellow Chronic Pain Sufferer that I wrote my story for , this is how serious it is. You are not alone and I know this doesn’t help for me to say that but its all I can say and do. I had one so called pain Dr. or pain mgt. clinic drop me because I threatened to go to Washington and stand before congress and explain to them how inhumane we are treated right after my Daughter took her own life because of being treated like some frigging junkie, she suffered from Fibro and Lupus and stayed in her bed 2 weeks out of the month. After being treated so bad she was 20 minutes late for an appointment and they made her reschedule and had her wait another almost 20 days before she could see the asshole again after that and having to jump through so many Pain Clinic ( Hoops ) she just said screw it I’m not going to live like a wounded animal , at least a wounded animal will be euthanized and shortly after that she hung herself. Please all of you do not go that route , it will paralyze the ones that love you even though I understand and loved her so much I to was so tired of watching her in so much pain, I have had 20 surgery’s in the past 9 years and I have to put up with pain clinics and it’s very tough and especially if our pain is undiagnosable , I did not mean to write a book but thought it may help you to know you are not alone and we understand and though we all have never met I do love you all and we must stand together , we must write our so called people in Washington ,etc, and voice how we feel and muster support and understanding among the powers that be and if we don’t I’m afraid they all will have their way and see us all committing suicide . A picture attached again of my beautiful Daughter. In Sissy’s loving memory.

So sad but true. I struggle everyday with suicide level pain, I am tired and my body is wore out from it all. The opioid wars that are against us, only adds more pain with stress and worry. I wish I was brave enough, like this girl.
Hang in there. I’m not so brave either. And? I really want to live. But what is living if it is merely existing? Please do seek emergency help – including me – if it gets to that point. At least we have to try but even that’s a dangerous tango as seeking help for feeling suicidal over pain can cause one to lose their pain management doctor. Although I’ve been assured by my psychologist/anxiety med doc that walking through the door [ok limping/wheeled in OK] and asking for help IS OK. Going in because one tried to off themselves will get your meds pulled.
Seek help first. not just you all of us. Then if all hope is lost… these people seem to fail to realize we’re quite terminal ourselves… stop helping our pain, stop it suddenly so we get violently ill on top? With *nothing* and people die. They do. It’s a reality. We really need to properly count how many people in chronic pain commit suicide. Those that do? Leave a letter not just to say you are sorry to your family but to say *WHY* as that will help get counted.
TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT ADVOCATING SELF-EUTHANASIA! I just empathize greatly as I too am hanging on by a thread.
No one wishes suicide. I’m so sorry about your tragic loss. It’s dark. But no one wished this horrific event, no one at all. I think you need reassurance, call me if you want to talk.
The agony continues because suicide may end the sufferring of one, but how many hearts were mortally wounded after this precious sufferring young woman checked out? WE ARE ADVOCATING FOR OURSELVES AND FELLOW PAIN PATIENTS here in Montana and hopefully beyond. To those grieving. …our hearts are joined with yours … To those who want to give up; LIVE, LAUGH AND LOVE…AND FIGHT UNTIL WE WIN; THE VICTORY WILL BE SWEET!
My sincere condolences and bravo on having the courage to still write a very informative and passionate letter. What is it with all these physicians and their fixation on playing God? It’s pretty bad when so many of us are experimented on not for science but for power trips. It’s just too bad that they can’t be prosecuted for murder when a patient commits suicide because of improper or failure to treat a chronic condition. But you are still right to understand why your daughter took her own life and you are also right not to blame her. Sometimes the power of love just can’t take the pain away.
There are days that I look across the living room at my beautiful wife and wonder what I ever did in life to deserve her because I am also a chronic pain sufferer. There are days that I know that I’m impossible to live with, yet she still stands by my side. My disease has been such a financial burden that she goes without everday, yet she stays. Yes I have thought about the pain and the expense of my medical bills, I have thought about how much better off financially she would be if I were just dead yet I stay because she stays.
That’s it in a nut shell. Chronic illness patients cost money. We never pay as much into insurance as we spend…(when we can get insurance). Most of us can’t generate revenue of any consistency,if at all. To further the problem, opiates are sold on the street for astronomical prices compared to what is charged for them from the manufacturer…which upsets the financial balance even more. This is not a cause where educating the right people will make much difference. The ACA going into effect, forcing “affordable” coverage for everyone, pretty much signed the death warrants for the chronically ill…not so much because of the policy itself, but because chronic illness patients eat up the profits that the 1% would be getting…if we didn’t exist.
Sadly, true…
The ACA doesn’t work when states do not implement it. State governors are responsible for hurting people for cheap political gain.
Of more pressing concerns is the new CDC guidelines which is going to kill a lot of people. The reduction is not based on evidence, it has ethical violations as well as conflicts of interest involved in shaping guidelines that did not speak to a single patient.
I’m 44 with the spine of an 90yr old. Lost 2 inches and not even had surgery yet. My left leg is partially paralysed and the bone pain from the lumbosacral nerve causes me to collapse with cold sweats. My pain is worsening, not reducing despite that I am blessed with treatment but make no mistake I fought tooth and nail for every bit of it.
I am in Florida and in contact with my state senator who I will be seeing over this issue. We cannot be left to die… which is what is happening but our deaths don’t matter unless a narcotic is in our system; then it is blamed and not the pain.
The problem of suicide will just keep growing. The heroin dealers will become the new rich. I am so sad for this family. Whoever you are, you are in my prayers.
