Please tell people to go to this site and tell their story. I'm not only fighting failed back surgery but colitis... some days I'm afraid to leave the house and others too drained from the restroom use.

They can tell their story here: regulations.gov/docket?D=FDA-2018-N-1621

Get a copy of this so called memo & find out who sent it. It may be just an excuse to stop perscribing them or the dr is being watched on how many patients he or she is writing scripts for. It also be the government sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong. Lastly, find a new pain manager.

Dan, there NEVER was a law only a recommendation letter from the almighty CDC! Isn't it quite appalling how a medical doctor who took an oath to help people is so scared of the CDC and their recommendations? There sure are some weak a** doctors out there. I have a whole list of genuine issues that cause severe pain and all proven by an MRI and the SS disability that I was approved for as soon as I applied and they sent me for an Xray. I am not a drug seeker but can't get any relief from constant agonizing pain. I have a vertebra slipping towards my spinal cord that causes my legs to lose all feeling and have to physically move them w/ my hands when rolling over during sleep. I also have scoliosis, stenosis, a fracture and arthritis and one 10 mg. Hydrocodone is supposed to help this kind of pain taken every 12 hours??!!! Also I am prescribed 10 mg. of methadone, a joke, that stuff does nothing for pain!! When you're actually punching your hips and lower back trying to get relief there's something terribly wrong with this whole situation. My doctor had me come in every 3 mos., which is 75 miles one way because there are no doctors in my city who will RX, now wants me there every 2 mos. Right now I have absolutely no way to get there and they won't electronically send my RX's to my pharmacy til I can get a ride. My ride is working out of town for the next 3 weeks and no one and I do mean NO one is going to drive me 75 miles one way to take me to my dr. How can this be legal? They normally send it elec. anyway so what would it hurt them to do it one time? Been a patient for 4 yrs and have never done anything wrong. I just wished I didn't have any pain so I wouldn't have to deal with any of this ridiculous B.S! Nothing but a rigamaroll.

This is more than likely a result of the CDC guidelines. It has sent health care for pain patients into a crisis for many.

Yep I agree..people in chronic pain that can't get their Meds are going to give up on life because they can't take the pain anymore. The DEA will blame it on the opioid addictions. What a sad situation.
