Currently 10 million patient dealing with cancers or incurable/painful diseases are unable to get a doctor to prescribe them pain medication and find a pharmacy to fill their prescriptions. The pendulum has swung too far left. Patients now go to the streets and die of overdose, committing suicide or euthanasia or suffering from bed because they don’t have access to these life saving and life giving pain medications. Pain meds allows them to get up, shower, brush their teeth, take care of their animals, families and house holds, which they were able to do when probably receiving pain medications. 70% of the Patients in Pain have been force tapered off meds or lowered to a level that does not work.
Also doctors are fearful of taking on new patients in pain and not willing to prescribe pain meds due to the DEA, CDC, DOJ and State Medical board harassing them if they don’t stop prescribing pain meds they will be thrown in prison or lose those DEA license.
There’s 10 million patients currently needing pain medications within the USA.
Please help us regain our quality of life back.
I believe through education, legislation and litigation these policies can be changed. My name is Jonelle Elgaway
