Junkies will ALWAYS find a way to get their FIX, but why should people living a life of insufferable pain have to be punished for it?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76697430


Because Christians believe that you deserve to experience insufferable pain if you are having it.

Re: Survey: CDC Guideline Having ‘Horrendous’ Impact on Pain Patients
Happy to see that some of you have found kratom, this is a horrific situation to be in. I have multiple conditions that cause constant pain, and was in opiate pain management for about 5 years. Model patient, never took more than prescribed. When my neurologist retired and the Dr who took over his practice installed a policeman in his lobby, and the pharmacies started treating me like a junkie, I started looking for a way out of the opiate prison.

Back then Kratom was fairly unknown by all but a few, but I researched it and felt safe with trying it instead. I was terrified of withdrawal, but to my surprise it was really nothing with kratom, AND, the kratom worked better for my pain and energy, and it didn't have the crappy opiate side effects. That was 7 years ago, and I have never looked back. Please, anyone who is in chronic pain and in this situation give it a try. It takes a little trial and error to find the best dose for your situation, but once you do, you're good. Fuck the CDC, the FDA and the DEA, they are killing this country.

If I were a pain patient, my daily stack would be:

-Kratom
-CBD
-Curcumin


But people should be able to choose opiates if they want them. In fact, people should be allowed to grow poppies in their back yard so they can make their own poppy tea, forgoing the big pharma pills.

How about legalizing medical poppy for personal use?

Medicinal poppies.
 Quoting: Putin's Voluntaryist


dialudid is the only pain med i can tolerate, but it is rarely subscribed to people even if other pain medicine gives you bad side effects or you are allergic to them, poppy tea sounds like a good alternative when needed

Re: Survey: CDC Guideline Having ‘Horrendous’ Impact on Pain Patients
I injured my back while in the military. I stopped going to the Drs because all they wanted to do was throw pain pills at me and I refused their prescriptions. I've only taken an opioid pill twice in my life and both times had a bad reaction - got really hot, shaky and threw it up almost immediately. Seems the only answer these doctors have is to throw addictive opioids at the problem. I had 2 veteran friends eventually die from being over prescribed those pills (addiction and then suicide).

To all with chronic back pain:

What worked for me (and I understand it won't work for everyone)

Upgrade bed mattress to firm with pocket coils. Avoid the memory foam crap, doesn't provide support.

Upgrade pillow, make one a firm gel and the other a goose down, so you have options for those restless 'bad' nights.
Also have a 'between the knees pillow'

Train yourself to be a side sleeper. Keep at it. You want a position where you find a happy medium between straight spine and comfort.

Dry sauna and pool EVERY day. Part of your DAILY routine.

I start with the hot tub, get those jets right where they need to be, either side of the base of the spine, then center, then upper and back of shoulders, neck. Then turn sideways and get both your hips and the backside of your thighs (lots of tension buildup in the thighs)

Next, a couple slow easy laps in the cold pool.

Then into the dry sauna, go to the hottest area of the sauna and put your back up against those blissfully hot cedar boards, oh sweet relief I swear some days I can actually feel my over extended spine clicking back into place.

Then back to cold pool for laps and a 2nd shot in sauna, good to go.

Make sure to get 8 hours of sleep a day. Do whatever it takes.

Once that routine is set, don't let ANYTHING mess with your routine.

I don't do pain meds, doc can shove it up his ass for all I care.
 Quoting: Jungleboogie


I did this - got a firm mattress, side sleeping, it helps. Also physical therapy exercises to strengthen my back and core. Spring and summer are the worst time of year for me - I do a lot of physical labor on my little homestead (hauling dirt, bending, weeding, taking care of the chickens, yard work, etc). When my back flares up, it hurts, sometimes for weeks and I resort to motrin, epsom salt baths, resting it, walking it out, etc, etc, etc. Basically I'm very limited in what I can do and I ride the pain out.

Over the years I've found doing certain things work for me and gets me through it without pain meds. I won't even step foot in a doctor's office if I can help it - don't want to be their cash cow or guinea pig.

Re: Survey: CDC Guideline Having ‘Horrendous’ Impact on Pain Patients
There are NATURAL solutions to this issue. Always. People are just too lazy to utilize them in mass....

Kratom= Amazing plant. This helps with ALL issues regarding pain. Even coming off pain meds.

Poppies= There is NOTHING wrong with growing poppy plants. Grow yourself some healthy organic poppy bulbs, give them a scrape, harvest your own poppy oils and use it WISELY for pain management.

Cannabis= We all know about Cannabis by now... if you manage to find a good ORGANIC*** Source, support them, commercialized cannabis has taken over the market and its disgusting! LOADED with chemicals! No real pain management at all just a strong buzz.

Combine these things, and no more pain no more unbearable withdrawals coming off pain meds... It is that simple folks. If you have a yard you can grow plants in, there's no reason you should EVER be in pain or having to pay large fees for pain management. END OF STORY

Re: Survey: CDC Guideline Having ‘Horrendous’ Impact on Pain Patients
My wife has 3 blown discs in her upper spine (neck) and debilitating sciatica. She manages the pain with tylenol 3's that the Dr has recently cut her off of.

The pharmaceuticals have their reasons for what they're doing. With so many people suffering with pain, I suspect they are up to something more hideous than opiates.

Turn to nature and seek out natural alternatives and avoid what the pharmaceuticals will soon be pushing at your local pharmacies/'crack houses' - I suspect it will be something far more expensive and a 100 X's more addictive than opiates.

Pharmaceutical drugs are NOT the answer... and they never were. I hope all the pharmaceutical companies dry up and die! God knows they've killed their fair share of suffering people for the almighty $.

now, we have endless troubles filling the prescriptions

the rules change each month, the insurance changes their rules each month

The whole opiate epidemic was carefully plotted. Population control at its finest.

Flood the market with the prescribed stuff, then make it slightly harder to get and flood the market with pure heroin. Take away the pain meds alltogether, get them all on Heroin.

Final play- Take away the heroin. Now there isn't even real heroin going around, its 99% FENTANYL . So whoever was left standing, got on that, or got clean, or has a never ending battle with doctors...

The funniest part of it all?? The media got the public to actually demonize/hate/despise/look down upon ALL addicts. As if the addicts flooded their own communities with extremely potent opiates. Lol. No one bitches at Martha for eating 5 double cheeseburgers a day and needing heart surgery/ diabetes medication. Even though its an addiction- shes doing it to herself- and acts irrational when she dont got her stuff- shes not despised- people actually lend people like Martha help and support...caring love/compassion, its not your fault, you were victim of careful advertising and psychological warfare!!!

But you, the guy over there that cant come off opiates- YOU ARE THE DEMON! lmfao...

It's a sudden new crisis, and something has to be done about it, and NOW! More and more tax dollars need to be allocated to the DEA to fight this!

If you have been around long enough, you see the patterns. A government bureaucracy starts loosing justification to exist, so they invent another reason to suckle off your wallet. The only problem is these thugs have lots of guns and shooters in fancy federal costumes.

Re: Survey: CDC Guideline Having ‘Horrendous’ Impact on Pain Patients
An obscure lawsuit is what worked in Canada... It's what eventually made cannabis legal:

If your doctor is not adequately managing your pain symptoms, you have a valid Human Rights complaint.

That is, every human has the right to the pursuit of life, liberty, & happiness.

If your doctor refuses to prescribe to you, for your documented pain condition, the medication that YOU deem to be the correct and proper medication for that pain condition...

Then the doctor (and anyone instructing the doctor's actions) has denied your basic human right for the pursuit of happiness.

It's a legit avenue for massive massive lawsuits, and it worked in Canada, forcing the government to remove the restrictions on medical cannabis.

the aspirin and acetaminophen were not helping.

the doc said sure i can prescribe you some pain meds IF you take this drug test.
if you fail, you cannot be prescribed ANY pain meds.
plus, you have to pay for the drug screen yourself.

we left and have never been back.
hes a veteren so i told him to go see the VA.
hes been self medicating since and wont go, its a waste of time.
