Shout It Out!

AMEN!!!

That was fantastic - short and sweet and oh, so accurate. Thanks for that.

Thank you so much! It is good to know I am not alone in my frustration.

The movie was "Network" (1976).

Actually, I think it was a TV commercial, not a movie. It may have been for either credit cards or insurance--other things that make you mad, besides living with chronic pain. I should know, I've been mad at all of them at one time or another. And yes, those of us who take opioid medications to control our pain must live with the unfair stigma, often from follks who should know better. Thank you for your thoughtful post, and the call to action. Are you listening folks? Do something…

Will,

Great Post!  My roommate and I are Mad As Hell about a lot of things with the whole pain situation in this country and plan to become advocates and have connections in the Congressmans Office in our state.  We both have been diagnosed with Chronic Intractable Pain in a very severe state.  Top docs across the country cannot help.  So, we jsut had unfornates passings of close family, have been suffering with many health issues and need to move.  Then you will get to know us better as we are very passionate about this topic and will do a great deal tohelp!  Read my profile if you can....Look forward to chatting with you and have many topics I would love to hear your reply too....Keep up the good work or we will be "Mad As Hell."  Your Great Will!

everything you stated in your forum is a big problem, and i am so mad as hell at these doctors that are more afraid of regulators rather than if we can live a normal life without chronic pain. i have had it up to my ass with the excuses. iwake everyday to pain to the bone all over my body,i do not know how much more i can take

I don't know what part of the country you live in but here in ga the doc hand o the stuff right and left we have so many people on this stuff a sistr who is laying in the hospital almost brain dead as I speak I think this stuff is not regulated enough the person goes to different docs and get all knids of this stuff each doc don't know what the other is doing therefore they can keep getting the drugs what did people do back when they did'nt have this?!   yeah I am mad as hell.. it should be more regulated...
