To make people living with chronic pain feel like they are criminals is more pain on top of our pain.

WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS!

We know that there are people who abuse pain medication, but the majority of us are in horrible pain, and we take our medications as prescribed. I haven’t asked for more pills, or increased milligrams for about 10 years. But, every month I feel the policing from doctors, pharmacies, insurance and society.

STOP! Most people have no idea what are we feeling, but it is TRAUMATIC to be treated this way. The news about people dying of opioids, especially of Fentanyl, are not the people who are in chronic pain, most of them are people who are victims of addiction to other drugs, laced with Fentanyl and other drugs. SOCIETY, wake up! and help us by giving us options, and treating us better, but THE PRESENT WAY, IS NOT THE WAY!!!!
