   I felt this lady’s emotional pain when she was talking about having terrible thoughts and feeling like a burden. I have kids and I don’t know what I’m going to do when everything I get for pain control is gone. It’s not enough as it is, but when it’s gone…am I going to go too? Logically, even if I don’t do the job myself, there is a pretty big possibility that I’ll develop complications of some kind and either end up dead anyway, or in even worse shape than I was in before, since I have cardiac issues and I’m not quite 40 yet. I’ll probably have to stop going to the doctor after a while, not only does it put me into too much pain, but I can only take so much of being told that “All you need is physical therapy, NSAIDS AND……..EXERCISE!!!” If I don’t puke first, I might hit someone. What do I have to lose?

   The immunosuppressants drugs along with the strong corticosteroid pills are going to ruin her immune system by the time she’s 50. In lower doses, I understand her taking them, but it’s a sad day when a pain patient is getting drugs that really will kill her eventually instead of the pain medicine she needs. Tragic!

   Until these laws & unwarranted surveillance techniques stop, legitimate pain patients are going to go untreated, be harassed, lack access to legitimate/legal opioid medications and suffer needlessly like criminals without any due process all due to the lies told by the CDC & FDA along with the media fed by anti-opioid zealots who have knowingly distorted the true facts of opioid deaths (illegally obtained ones COMBINED with alcohol & other substances and NOT legally prescribed opioids used RESPONSIBLY).

   She has a huge lot of company. Incredible that while Canada is offering prescription heroin to addicts, this country is basically trying to ban all prescription pain meds, supposedly to “combat” a “crisis” of its own propagandistic creation. Insane & evil.
