I've thought about this a great deal, as a chronic pain sufferer(4 consecutive herniated discs, which two unnecessary surgeries only made worse), while they have been hyper aggressively reducing our pain meds. There had to have been a reason behind it the across the board, no exceptions, regardless of the multiple, negative, impacts on our lives, reductions. It's still going to suck but it will be easier to deal with(the withdrawals that is) than this time last year & will easier in a couple of months, not that I think we have that long....
