If you do NOTHING…. you get NOTHING
Hi Steve! I was wondering if you know of any pain patients in Ohio who would be willing to talk to a NBC reporter about the new law Gov Kasich just signed. I responded about this article, and the journalist responded, but was totally clueless about legitimate use of opioids. At any rate, he/she wants to talk to folks living in Ohio. I can email you the back and forth if you want, this person is very clueless. Thanks!

Im in NJ, the strictest state going for opiods. I have contacted multiple news outkets, media, newspapers and my comments are always deleted, magically disappear, calls never returned or emails replied to. I’d love the chance to talk to this reporter. I hope those of you in Ohio bombard this rwporter with truths and facts about what we are all oing thru. If this reporter wants to hear from cpp nationwide id jump at the chance, as long as we are represented fairly, and not compared to drug addicts
Would love to see a story on how all these laws and regulations and guidelines have made life unbearable for the chronic pain patients. How about you do a story on the millions that are suffering everyday because of the actions of someone else? Tell the whole story not just part of it please! We have chronic pain patients with diseases that have no cure that are life long and that have tried all the other alternative treatments and medications that are suffering needlessly and others that have taken their own lives to end their pain. My heart breaks for anyone with cancer but cancer is not the only painful condition in the world. I have a disease called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy that rates higher on the McGill pain chart than cancer, amputation without anesthesia and unprepared child birth. My disease rates the highest and known as the most painful condition/disease known to man but I am not allowed to have pain medications because someone made the consciousness decision to do illegal drugs. I did not ask for this disease but I am forced as millions of others to suffer with no quality of life. I have went from being independent to bed ridden most days and unable to take care of my own home and self. The treatment or should I say lack of treatment I am receiving is inhumane! The CDC has even admitted that pain pills are not the problem now that it is illegal heroin and street drugs that is the overdose problem but yet chronic pain patients are still being punished! Do some more research and you will find that 1 to 3 percent of chronic pain patients ever abuse or overdose on their medications. In this day and age of technology there should never be so many false news reports that brain wash the public to believing things.
Ditto here is Wisco,,,,we are censored,,”comment closed,” deleted,,,on EVERY NEWSPAPER IN WISCONSIN!!!!!our government is sooo corrupted in Wisco there in every hospital north of milwaukee,,, mary
If any reporters want to talk to people in Florida, I would participate. FIRST, I have to VERIFY that the reporter has a record of presenting chronic-pain sufferers who USE OPIOID PRESCRIPTION DRUG RESPONSIBLY and don’t become addicted. There are reporters who just want attention for an “Opioid Addiction Crisis,” which may (or may not) help people who want to stop using opioid street drugs. ALL SIDES of opioid use need to be reported; legitimate use, illegal street-drug use, and use by people who may have a genetic predisposition to addiction and accidentally ended up with an addiction problem. There may be more than those three sides to include, but possibly those three types include the major differences which should be reported on.
My brother and i both take pain medication. We live in Ohio.
I live in Ohio. Depending on what i need to do i can ask my brother as well.
Wishing I lived in Ohio. I’d love for a journalist to hear our side.
If that journalist ALSO cares about reporting “our side”. Good idea to know if the news agency has a pre-determined agenda and whether the reporter will create a BALANCED PRESENTATION of chronic-pain patients who USE OPIOIDS RESPONSIBLY.
Awesome,,go for Mr/Ms Ohio,,,go for it,,,let THE TRUTH BE TOLD!!!mary
Good idea to know if the news agency already has an agenda and whether the reporter will create a BALANCED PRESENTATION of chronic-pain patients who USE OPIOIDS RESPONSIBLY. Addiction treatment seems like a good thing, but the irresponsible CDC IS NOW ADMITTING that prescription opiod use did NOT create an “Opioid Addiction Epidemic”.
