They are so worried about abuse of prescription drugs....its become a "political thing".....everybody is cracking down.....so doctors are forced to cut back.... And, lets be honest. The VA, the US Government, The Medical System in this country doesnt give a fucking rats ass about you. Go ahead, blow your head off because of the pain...no one will care.... now, if all the people who are in pain but are getting denied , because of some bullshit reason, became martyrs, maybe then a change would occur. but we all know that wont happen either.....no one gives a FUCK. and what is the big fucking deal about a guy who has been busted up, especially in the service of our country, taking some percs to control pain.... where is the harm in that?? he isnt some fucking 15 year old, he isnt out "dealing"....for christ fuckin sake, the guy is in PAIN!!! everything will go underground.....hell, it already is...THEY are just pushing more and more of us to go there...... i guarantee someone with "money" doesnt have these kinds of "cutbacks" or problems...they get their fucking pain meds... its bullshit. just another verification of the treatment of middle/poor class in this country. doesnt matter if you "served"....u aint worth shit...

If you end up like me, and find out all this pain is from bio-warfare testing from the 1950's which "they invented" you can find help much faster. Go to the Desert Storm website and read about 'mycoplasma's', then talk with one of those victims. [/quote] [quote:DesDrops 5709109:MV8xNzc3ODUxXzMwNzkxMTA5XzUxMkU1RkQx] I am 100% service connected disabled, went to VA doc in 03 with back pain, doc said start taking this Oxycodone and Morphine, been taking it ever since, started out 90 60mg morphine Sulfate and 90 15mg Oxycodone a month, was too much because I was too drugged out all the time so I cut down on the morphine to 2 a day, morning and night and told the doc to stop sending 90, can't say it was a great life but it was still worth living and I could still be somewhat productive, so after taking this shit for 9 years last month my primary care doc says "I'm cutting one of your meds off, your choice which one", I kept the oxycodone because it kicked in faster, he cut the morphine to 30 the first month and then nothing..............WTF!!, can you spell withdrawal?, called the patient advocate, what a joke!, they sounded like a advocate for the doc and the VA, gonna call DAV tomorrow and start looking for email addresses, Obama, whitehouse, senators etc etc and gonna forward this forum to everyone I can find. This is total bullshit, getting thrown under the bus for what?, I didn't ask for this shit, it was prescribed by a VA doctor as the best treatment for my chronic pain, I hope this thing explodes in their face, or even better up their asses. [/quote] [quote:Anonymous Coward 13079362:MV8xNzc3ODUxXzMwNzk1MDUwX0RCMjVFRTUw] Who have I become? To let another dictate my life because other people are fuck-ups? I don't always feel like a free person, so I declare it to myself over and over after this hell I've been through. I feel like I've been brainwashed into believing what any kind of expert, specialist, doctor, banker, priest, god or "authority" say. And I can't even imagine the kind of pain that others are suffering.... it's what I try to do when it all becomes too much. I think of awful things to make my pain seem like something less. Cancer patients, amputees, a woman beheaded in Iran... it's all so awful. I'm shaking the sleep out of my eyes. I'm not their tool anymore and I declare myself a free woman. I can hurt. I can do that. It's my pain. I have no choice but to take responsibility for it. A medical revolution? Maybe.... [/quote] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1227147:MV8xNzc3ODUxXzMwNzk2MDQ5X0E5NTdDODVC] It ain't the doctors, folks. Doctors used to prescribe vicodin for just about anything. It wasn't until the massive abuse of Oxycontin started in Florida that shit got strict. It's the government now. Look up the laws. The US government allows your doctor to prescribe you pain meds, but only in the way and amount that they approve of. Many doctors now have a cap on how much they are legally allowed to prescribe, meaning they have to turn people away and pick which patients they think needs the meds the most. And if your doc doesn't fall in line with what the government says? See yah. They yank his license and throw his ass in prison. At the very least they bankrupt them with court and defense fees... with your money. And it's only gonna get worse. All hail Obama! [/quote] decades working with patients and other doctors most cannot prescribe what they want or they will have unwelcome visitors and could have helluva trouble for NO REASON I have seen many have pain and incredible amounts myself...but avoid the painpills...it will become a control mechanism and easy to lay another out based onthat seems a few have told me they are pushing methadone clinics for many with painissues and not addiction issues it is much harder on a body I have a friend who was encouraged to do so, I discouraged it seems it is getting far worst, andfew resell their meds but it does happen.... just as sinus meds are now restricted due to a handful of folks...it is subterfuge.... all about control and disenfranchising many as crumbs become more scarce prepare and find natural options life is pain in this timeline [/quote] Thank you for understanding. Sometimes I feel like the only thing I have left that I am in %100 control over is my pain. It's kind of perverted, but pain has become like my baby. I don't even know who I would be without it anymore. I must be my own healer; I will control my pain because it is MINE. Fuck them.... I won't pay, I will shout it to the world, you may be controlled by the pharmaceutical industry, but I won't be, not anymore. Devil's Claw is an anti-inflammatory without the poisons tylenol or ibuprofin. This is what I am trying now. I don't know if it works yet, but I need an anti-inflammatory to try to heal the protruding and bulging discs in my neck. I'm looking for the correct exercises to do daily, I'm making myself stronger, and I'm trying to correct my posture. If I have any say in it.... I'm done with drs and the DEA trying to control me. This is a freedom issue. This is my pain. I will live free or die. I must live free or die. [/quote]

I am a disabled VET 60%. I live with cronic pain daily.
I take only what I am perscibed which is nothing.
2 15 mg of extended release morphine twice daily and 30 PERCS a month for breakthrough pain when I need it. They moved me from one doctor to the next and suddenly want to cut the percs and evening morphine...thats it. 1 morphone a day with maloxacam.
NOW...They drug test the hell out of me and I am always clean, yet I feel like I am treated like some fucking JUNKIE. Whatever happened to working with the patient.
I mean I am fine with trying to come down, but it has to be comfortable with me...not HIM telling me what kind of pain I go through in a day. This is FUCKED UP.
They wonder why millions of our vets commit suicide!!! when they dont listen to thier patients.
I almost want to tell them..OK MOTHERFUCKER, when I BLOW MY HEAD OFF or start taking HEROIN because you cut me off WITHOUT working with me like I am some junkie, MAYBEE then maybee they can have that haunt them.
FUCK YOU VA!!!!!!
Thanks for the quality medical care us vets get for serving our counrty..
For any other vets out there going through the same crap..
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!
