1. I have four dried out discs in my lumbar spine, plus spinal stenosis and a large herniation. I am 31 with three young kids, an employee in the outdoor recreational industry, and previously very active. I went from hiking, kayaking and baby wearing to not being able to pick up my toddler most of the time. I’ve had my condition for ten years and only now am I at the point that I’m willing to take narcotics (which I didn’t even take after my C section). I am on the lowest doses bearable because I am afraid that any higher will raise flags and get them taken away, and without relief, my day is over before it begins. I am terrified for the future where I know my pain will get worse but my pain medication will likely be stalled or taken away from me altogether if the powers that be see fit. I am about the lowest risk demographic for narcotics abuse (particularly given the fact that high doses make me vomit), and I’m still terrified of being labeled an abuser. My pain will only get worse and I will soon have no options. I feel like I have no future once my options run out.

2. I have had the misfortune of imperfect health resulting in having to use pain medication to reduce my level of pain to a tolerable level in order to live a fair life. I have fulfilled my duty of twenty-one years of military service and a decade of postal service, ultimately having my career cut short due to disability. It is not my intention to make my case for having to take pain medication but I see it so often, people trying to explain why they need it after experiencing a negative incident in getting pain medication but that’s a doctor’s determination and we can’t all assume the doctor is wrong can we? What has happened to society and their perception of doctors? Is it similar to the perception some have of police, they speak badly of them until they are needed? I don’t think so. I feel an overwhelming pressure coming down from FDA/CDC/? levels, probably from the top. I’m not one to speak negatively about our president, but this has to be from him. His wealth and so far good health has misguided his judgement about opioid medication and he feels it needs to be stopped and thus the trickle down pressure to the patients. It is my opinion that it is the power of the vote that will change this situation, voting in a president, governor, senator with the sense to stop this ridiculous attack on patients that need pain medication to survive and start focusing attention on the illegal sector of drugs that are the true enemy. Fentanyl, heroin, illegally made opioids should be the true center of attention. I for one will not stand by and watch as innocent people are robbed of life just because someone voted into office thinks legally and responsibly used opioid medication is the cause of the addiction and overdose epidemic.

   Additionally, if you are a patient who is prescribed opioid pain medication and don’t feel you need it SAY NO. If you know someone who overdosed on opioids STOP BLAMING THE RESPONSIBLE USERS. The epidemic is people who crave to get high on anything they can get their hands on, not the patient requiring pain reduction to live a normal life.

3. I have suffered with no pain relief since I was 14. I was hit by an uninsured driver. Shortly after, excruciating migraines began, along with mild back pain which intensified. Over the years until again in 2015 I was hit from behind at a red light.

   This exasperated my back issues and after an MRI I was found to have a total of four herniated discs, stenosis of the spine and degenerative disc disorder, alongside horrible arthritis. This started with the first accident and had progressed and worsened over years of being a daycare worker, house cleaner and massage therapist. No doubt the wear and tear on my body carrying seven children full term.
   Each birth was 100% completely natural birth with NO PAIN MEDS. Except the first in which I had a failed epidural which caused my migraines to increase in frequency and strength for years after! That is one reason why I will not have an epidural for my back – it is the scariest thing in the world to me.

   I am educated on severing of the nerves by laser. I have been told by people who have had this that the pain comes back, and then the pain medicine can no longer reach the pain because the nerves have been severed.

   My husband has had cortisone injections and says it left him in worse pain than he was in prior to them, so I’m in objection to them as well. Especially I am objecting to these interventions and procedures that so-call manage. When everyone I have talked to from back surgery to procedures say that the pain comes back in some cases so much worse! And then the doctors refuse to medicate … this is absolute nonsense and not sound medicine to me. We are more than wild animals, we are more than domesticated animals, and should be treated as such. People have no problem getting epilepsy medication, tranquilizers or pain medication for their cats. Yet we as human beings receive no empathy! We as pain sufferers are pushed into procedures that leave you in the worst pain.

   I’m a very tough woman however childbirth has an end to the suffering after a few hours, chronic pain does not! My quality of life after pain medication is exponentially better. I have been able to exercise again due to pain relief and lost 40 lbs! But now because of heroin addicts and pill poppers I am being told after only a few years of being pain free and enjoying life again, it will be stripped from me!
   Due to my husband’s military status I always have a doctors. She has titrated me, again I am miserable and have already began to gain weight! I am so angry to be seen as a number.

   Animals get better pain care and more empathy. This is a drug addict problem not a problem of the average chronic pain sufferer.

   Because of these people who get away with misuse of their medication or just plain issues of addiction and drug addiction my quality-of-life is going to be taken away from me. My youngest child has just turned three so I still must be extremely active on a daily basis. We do not have the means to hire a maid or a cook so I still have to live a life of an average woman and I’m being told basically we do not care about your human suffering!

   There is a lot of new information out there proving opioids are not causing deaths like the government is peddling! Honestly I believe that they are mixing in their statistics with drug addict’s. Do you not believe this is being looked at fairly. Nor that people with proven history of need with adequate medical documentation should be denied and left to suffer.

4. I was on morphine. After several years a pain doctor pulled me off cold turkey. All I get now is Tylenol 3. Since then my pain has gotten worse and have had over 30 shots in my back. I can barely function. No quality of life. Spend my days on the couch crying. Suicide has become an option. But I cannot leave my service dog. Don’t want much just some relief do not abuse. please help

5. Below my son hand-delivered a letter to my doctor’s home. She forgot to refill my prescription prior to the XMAS holiday. I got my script refilled within 15 minutes.

   “I’m putting this into writing before I lose my mind. Your office doesn’t have an after-hour doctor on call. This incident has ruined another XMAS with my family.

   I’m genuinely puzzled why I can’t get a simple refill accomplished that’s the same dosage for the last three years. I’m in full compliance. You instructed me to make an appointment in January 2020. Before 2017, I was a patient at TIRR memorial’s outpatient clinic. As you may recall, the scumbag turned my neck 360 degrees, strangled me, and left me for dead nude in the weeds on 12/24/2009. I slid on back naked with my one working leg in 40-degree weather to highway. When you’re laying naked on I-45, you stop caring what people think. I’ve raised my son by myself with NO help from his father. When I was lying half-dead in the weeds ten years ago; I remember pleading to GOD to save me for the sake of my son; it would have broken his heart if I died that morning. God did save me. The monster broke my neck, which led to a three-month hospital stay at TIRR. I was paralyzed from the neck down with C-5, C-6 injury. We can’t remove the plate out of my neck.

   All the TIRR doctors remember me running my business out of the hospital. Back then, I had excellent insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield that paid over $450,000 to put me back together. Before Obamacare, once you met your deductible, the insurance company paid. My secretaries brought tweezers to pluck splinters out of my behind while they held the phone to my ear so I could tell my clients their files were okay. By the grace of God, I was able to relearn to walk and save my business. So, I brag a lot that I have the same name and phone number since 1997. If they only knew how close I was to losing everything.

   I continued as an outpatient at TIRR. The doctor at TIRR is a pain specialist for spinal cord patients. In 2013, he prescribed Nucynta (Tapentadol) ER, a new drug. I was thrilled to locate an effective medication that allowed me to drop the Gabapentin from by 85%. Decreasing the Gabapentin dosage was horrible. Short-term memory loss stopped.

   I’ve taken lots of different medications to the point I felt like a guinea pig. When the health care debacle started, I suddenly was required to see my doctor every three months. Nucynta eliminated my constipation, which aggravates my condition.

   When I first went to refill this new wonder drug, my Walgreens didn’t stock it. My secretary had to drive around from pharmacy to pharmacy since you can’t call pharmacies directly to inquire whether they stock opiates. She finally located a pharmacy after visiting OVER 30 pharmacies. With all the NEW rules, I would go to my doctor at TIRR and pay 250 dollars since he’s not affiliated with TIRR, which wasn’t covered by my insurance. Then drive to Recept pharmacy that’s 45 miles from my home and hang out for about 30 minutes to refill the prescription that costs $900 for a month’s supply. It was an all-day affair. There’s no way someone can keep their job or pay this expense. I’m blessed I’m self-employed and make a comfortable living.

   After Obamacare, I’ve had to change carriers every year because they kept pulling out of Texas.

   Then in 2016, Aetna left the Texas Health insurance business, forcing me to into an HMO with Molina. Molina didn’t accept TIRR Memorial. So now I had to pay full price for Nucynta, my doctor, and a room charge for $800. That’s a total of $17,072 annually, which is absurd. Yeah, I could have coughed up the money, but I refuse to be a slave to a drug. I’d rather suck up the pain. My doctor worked with me to solve this dilemma. He suggested the ER Tramadol since, at the time, Tramadol refills required every six months’ visits and a lot cheaper. I decided to wean myself off Nucynta, causing me to miss another XMAS and New Year in 2016. It was the most horrible experience. I couldn’t handle the pain without Tramadol. Since you accepted my insurance, you prescribed the Tramadol starting in Jan. 2017. I’ve tried alternative methods such as acupuncture, which doesn’t work and very painful. As I mentioned at our last appointment, I got hormone pellets to alleviate the menopausal symptoms that aggravate my condition. As you instructed, the ob-gyn performed my pap smear, which I paid $500 out of pocket. I haven’t had one since 2014. I’m trying to figure out what my insurance covers for $1168 a month. There are no other insurance carrier options for self-employed people.

   I hate going to doctors or taking these rotten pills. I have no other choice because they get me moving and functioning. There are days I want to cut off my arms, but I need them. Without my medication, I’ll start to catch on fire, it’s like needles or rubbing your hand across a cactus. When I get upset, my neck goes into a spasm, causing me to be bedridden. My limbs are like a rubber band, and I can’t hold anything. I get that paralyzed sensation. I even begin to drag my feet, and my knees buckle. My fingers turn ice-cold with no feeling. Without the Tramadol, the pain interferes with my ability to care for my son AND deprives me of my enjoyment with my 9-year-old great-niece that has an intellectual disability who was planning to come to visit during the XMAS holidays. She has a room set up at my home here. She loves coming over. I guess I’m supposed to tell her she can’t come.

   In Oct., you were slow refilling due to some error. I didn’t get mad at you. I picked up my prescription on the way to the airport. On Monday, my lender scheduled an inspection Wednesday in CA. You think my clients understand they’ll need to wait till I refill my prescription or go to the doctor. I’m not going to be able to underwrite my loans cause I won’t be able to focus on the withdrawals.

   In November, I phoned in the order that took five days. Besides getting ready for Thanksgiving, I was in the middle of analyzing a new loan. I’m going to need to inform my clients sorry, I’m in the emergency room. Perhaps you can send a letter because I’ll be climbing the walls. I’m very respected in my profession. I’ve done this with the help of my doctor’s partners. I’m grateful. Without my refill, I’ll suffer from loss of income. It’s going to affect my clients who are depending on me to complete their financing.

   I’ve repeatedly told you I suck it up and only take Gabapentin during the day so I can remain focused on my family and business. Go to my website … You’ll see what I’ve been able to achieve despite the chronic pain. My clients don’t know about my condition. I don’t allow it to get in my way. My arms ached in CA; it was hard for me to hide, rubbing my arms from the pain. That didn’t happen when I took Nucynta. So, go ahead please contact any of my clients to inquire if I ever seem strange or act like I’m on drugs. They’ll state – I’m always professional and quick to respond to questions and concerns. I’ve never slurred my words. That’s why I’ve been in business since 1997.

   We live in a beautiful home that’s spotless, and I make dinner every night. I told you I landscape and even mow my grass for physical and mental exercise. I don’t drink, nor am I overweight. Oh yeah, I don’t know how I’m going to drive my car to see you next week when you open. I think I’ll be a hazard to the road with my blurred vision. I don’t appreciate anyone insulting or demeaning me about my medication. I didn’t stick my head in the sand or give up. I’ve persevered through all of this in severe pain. I can’t remove the plate out of my neck, nor are stem cells FDA-approved to regrow the axons that are sending misfiring signals throughout my body. I deserve respect, and my prescriptions filled without any inconvenience. I haven’t complained, but now I’ve had enough. I’m just trying to get by so I can take care of my family.

   So, I spoke to Walgreens, and the kind pharmacist said “Oh No, that Tramadol is dangerous. You need to go to the emergency room. “Are you going to pay for that bill? The withdrawals are like going off heroin AND anti-depressant simultaneously. I sent the refill request to Walgreens (my ONLY pharmacy) Monday and went online just in case. I contacted your MA; she confirmed the order was received. I informed her I had no spares. I took my last pill today. She stated you would fill it after the high blood patients. I explained to her I’ve been on the same prescription for three years, and if I don’t take it, besides horrible withdrawals, I go into severe pain, which leads to high blood pressure. She didn’t seem very informed about Tramadol’s side effects. I recommend some training for her.

   My mother spoke to her on Tuesday, and she said the prescription order would be submitted that afternoon. That didn’t happen. I’m enclosing the Tramadol warnings, AND the 4/2019 FDA letter states to wean patients off opiates gradually, and not stop them suddenly. My family is distraught and worried. My son needs me. He’s keeping an eye on me in case he needs to call 911. When this refill problem started on Monday, that was the 10th anniversary of my kidnapping. You don’t like me, that’s fine. I need my pills so I can locate another physician. You’re required to take the following steps.

   There are specific steps that a doctor should undertake to terminate a doctor/patient relationship. According to the AMA white paper entitled “Ending the Patient-Physician Relationship,” these typically include:
   – Giving the patient written notice, preferably by certified mail, return receipt requested;
   – the patient with a brief explanation for terminating the relationship (this should be a valid reason, for instance: non-compliance, failure to keep appointments);
   – to continue to provide treatment and access to services for a reasonable period, such as 30 days, to allow a patient to secure care from another physician (a physician may want to extend the period for emergency services);
   – resources and recommendations to help a patient locate another physician of like specialty;
   – Offering to transfer records to a newly designated physician upon signed patient authorization to do so.”

   Thank you everyone for letting me express my situation. This was truly scary and a nightmare.

6. My name is Bill. Since moving from California to Oklahoma in 2015 my pain meds were reduced (I was prewarned by current patients in waiting room this would happen) by 2/3rds and no one advised me. I just received the reduced dosages and medications through the mail. My wife of over 25 years is a retired FNP and I was a medic. Ironic when I have two service connected medical problems: severe degenerate joint disease and heart atherosclerosis (which is ironic because my heart attack was in my 20’s not due to blockages but what is defined as “Variant Angina” or vasospasms which cause shortage of oxygen to muscle tissue). Recent medical problems significant – blood clots in both lungs, DVT left leg, left total knee, SSS for Sick Sinus Syndrome (where heart’s electrical conductivity goes on its own from rate of 30 to 150’s). So add pacemaker. Then a new onset of mid-back pain and loss of urine on occasion. Ironic heart Cath shows 30% blockages throughout. I am 69. My wife is 60 but totally and permanently disabled due to spinal stenosis and scoliosis.

   My meds were reduced by 2/3 one-and-1/2 years prior to last Federal laws which went into effect. I think it is because of the COST of pain medication as a contributing factor. Outside pain management specialist advised the VA I was being under-medicated for significant degree and type of pain. Dogs get better treatment. I’ll say it again: DOGS get better treatment. The issue is defining what is abuse and the difference between that and TREATMENT.

   A person with a legitimate medical problem deserves to be treated with the best pain management treatment available. NO ONE should be forced into implantable devices with risks where no one is willing to take responsibility for bad outcomes. My wife, I watch her suffer and can do nothing. I have asked for aid and an attendant. I need help but the system is set up to fail you, because health care providers don’t know to fill out forms relating them to your service-related medical conditions. My health care provider put everything on there and didn’t focus on my service related disabilities. The VA does not communicate if you have a problem with obtaining your pain medications.

   When I had my total knee no one said your knee doctor will have to write for your long- and short-acting pain medication, so I ran out of long acting and suffered in severe pain for two days seeking help. A secretary reading my care provider’s notes told me what the problem was, but no one called or communicated with what the issue was. A DOG gets better pain management care than veterans. Am helpless and feelings of anger over people who make poor choices (look at the media – the more famous people’s children make bad choices but guess who gets the bad rap – the medication they choose to put in their mouths) deprive me and thousands of Americans, veterans and non, to suffer for poor choices! Dogs get better treatment.

   CDC is a government-regulated agency using numbers from multiple sources that do not belong together. Counting deaths and crediting them to opiates, when other conditions exist and no autopsies are performed flaws credibility of studies. Again $$$$$$$$$ comes into the picture.

   I feel sorry for people who have anxiety disorders and pain. They basically have been deprived of any potential for mental health treatment and the ability to live any semblance of life without anxiety. Why has the government chosen opiates as their central focus, when alcohol-related deaths rank much higher with the deaths of multiple innocent children and adults? Dogs get better treatment. When will we stand up and ask when did the patient’s condition, pain, quality of life and participation in treatment go down the crapper? Our society is more and more taking away the rights of many – over the poor choices of others. This is America. This is not okay. We must come together.

   I looked for a rally in Oklahoma. Nothing is happening here. I haven’t located any resources for contacting public representatives – something I am not familiar with. God bless America but God help America use her resources – DOCTORS who should be making the decisions to treat veterans. Medication is restricted to only ONE maximum equivalent analgesic level … regardless of whether you are male or female, 500 pounds or 150 pounds, and unless you have cancer or regardless of your medical condition. Some people have options such as NSAIDS – a group of medications not opioids. I cannot take them nor can my wife due to the side effects to kidneys and gastrointestinal bleeding. Doctors need to be allowed to treat patients and not permitted to be placed in prison for fulfilling their oath. We don’t let our animals suffer. Why are we allowing the government to tell medically educated professionals how to do their job?

7. I have several examples of how the push to limit and even deny opiates due to new regulations in Ohio have been devastating. First of all, my father who is a stage 4 prostate cancer patient has been forced to go off his medical marijuana, which was recommended by his oncologist, due to rapid weight loss, in order to keep receiving his opiate pain meds. He is currently 110 pounds, down from 165. His pain contract forces him to choose between the marijuana and opiates. Even though he was doing good on the combination of the two.

   I am a 26 year HIV survivor. Due to the side effects of the meds I am on, I have severe neuropathy in my feet. Am also suffering from neural damage in the spine. Have had a hip replacement in the past year. My HIV doctor and personal care doctor refuse to write prescription for my opiates. Sent me to a pain clinic which had no experience with long term big care. Immediately reduced the amount of opiates. Got me down so low that I got very ill. Then on top of that, started me on sterile injections which caused my arv’s to quit working. Darn near killed me.

   Eventually raised the amount of opiates, out of guilty conscience, but not back to original amount, which were working. Am currently not able to function like before. T-cell count was very high before being forced to go to the pain clinic. Can’t rebound back to before the pain clinic changed meds. Also not able to use marijuana which kept my weight steady and was a useful anti depressant.

   Crazy regulations are destroying many chronic pain victims in Ohio.

8. The new guidelines created by the CDC have punished many chronic pain sufferers including myself. Physicians who were already skeptical of prescribing opiates now will not give you anything to treat the pain that I suffer from every moment of every day. I also was taken off the pain meds that I had been taking as prescribed for nearly 10 years and helping me, with no warning or taper from my pain specialist. I had to go every month, pay out of pocket, submit a UA along with pill counts, always complied, no missed or late appt’s, no early refills, lost or stolen prescriptions. I have had countless MRI’s, CT scans, Xray’s, Lab work and in terrible pain from the conditions I have. I had blood work done because some meds didn’t work as well as others due to the way that everyone’s body is made different and metabolizes medications differently. I have had injections from two different specialists offices and both told me they should be lasting longer than the 4 weeks I was getting from them, and they both told me that they were no longer going to give me injections. I suffered in pain for 3 to 4 years before I was put on the right amount and appropriate medications. Now I am back to where I once was before and in my 50’s suffering from this cruel and inhumane issue that has been created from the so called “Opioid Epidemic”. I could write more and have used paragraphs. I am hurting too much for all of that. I Just wanted to get a part of my story on here to let those responsible for everything that has and currently is affecting all of us just trying to live the best they can in chronic pain of all types. None of us ever imagined living our lives in terrible pain, and being on pain medication to help us live a quality of life way less than we imagined. To our Government and State officials please let us have the access back to the medications we need to manage our pain and enjoy what quality of life we can.

9. In November of 1999 I was 7 months pregnant and I found my car stuck in mud. Thinking the spot I was on was flat, I tried to push my way out. I knew right away I had seriously screwed up. Not thinking, I tried to jump into the car to put it in park but instead, I was struck in the face by the door and rolled under it. I heard my vertebrae crunch. Luckily, I wasn’t paralyzed and, once the car came to a stop, I draggged myself to it, put it in park and shut it off before picking my 11 month old son out of the back seat and carrying him up the steep hill to the house I was living in at the time where I called my mother in law who rushed over and immediately called 911. I had layed down on the couch in my livingroom and couldnt get back up. I was taken to the ER and, given my pregnancy, no xrays were done. They gave me a shot and had me wait for awhile then got me up on my feet and sent me on my way with a prescription for pain meds. Those meds got me through the next few days but I knew something was wrong. I talked to my doctor and she wasn’t comfortable with xrays so she just kept giving me pills.

   This went on for about a year before I, in all honesty, just gave up. Years went by with each doctor just shutting down as soon as they heard the word “pain” and shoving more pills at me. One more pregnancy passed and I found myself in absolute agony after just a little while on my feet. I was working at a hospital as an aide when I slipped in some soap in a patient’s room and fell. My supervisor sent me to get checked out and that is when my life changed. My L5 vertebre was heavily compression fractured and L4 and L6 were damaged as well. My dream of becoming a nurse died that night. Depression set in and, after another bout of pain pills, I gave up again. It wasn’t until I got out here to California that I FINALLY got help. The beautiful soul of a man I had remarried to gently encouraged me to try one more time. He held my hand in my doctor’s office as I told the doctor, “please, I am going to cry… I need help.” Yes… I cried.

   I was feeling so hopeless and pain was just part of my reality and, honestly, I was exhausted and deeply depressed. I had tried for SO SO long to get by without going back on pain meds and I was just terrified that the doctor would just shove another bottle of pills at me and push me into a corner. My doctor hugged me, wiped my tears, and said “Mrs. Ferguson, I will do everything in my power to help you. First, let’s get some xrays and an MRI and, from there, we WILL figure this out.” With his help, we found out my spine was in really bad condition. Along with the badly healed fractures, I have encroachment, degenerative disc disease, and heavy arthritis. There, unfortunately, was now more. Years of walking wrong due to my spine had caused damage to my hips and knees and I had developed hefty arthritis in both. He prescribed pain meds along with physical therapy, “Let’s try this first, then we will look at our other options.”

   For the first time in years, I had hope. Three rounds of physical therapy failed but, through it all, my doctor held my hand and encouraged me. He sent me to a surgeon who, like my doctor, was very compassionate and very open with me. My injury COULD be operated on but there was a considerable risk of it not working. He suggested a few options and, after discussing them all, I tried the injections. Apparently I am one of the extreme few that the injections are NOT a good idea for. The medication crystalized and caused more pain. We discussed other options but, in the end, he sent me to Pain Management. I was nervous… there is so much stigma attached to Pain Management centers and I had heard SO many horror stories. I’m glad he did.

   After a month or so of going to pain management and having long talks with my pain management doctor, I was on the path to relief. I became more active, lost weight, started dressing nicer, I was ME again! I could stand for more than 5 minutes without being in tears! My doctor carefully tuned my medications until we found the mix that works for me. Things were going great until the opioid panic started.

   The head doctor of my pain management clinic has been going to bat for all of his patients ever since, fighting for our rights to pain relief. Unfortunately, due to this whole mess, the restrictions have gotten ridiculous and I can’t get my meds adjusted even though it’s generally more than a year between requests. Lately my arthritis has begun to get worse and he can’t do anything about it even though my request hasn’t been for narcotics. I have gone days without sleep due to pain and it really upsets my doctor. I am not an addict. I need these medications to be able to get through day to day taking care of my amputee husband and autistic youngest son. I need my medications to be able to do anything other than lay in bed in agony. I understand the concern people have, I truly do, I was one of those people who just had meds thrown at her with no real support care for years after all. Taking away these meds would be torture. We don’t need prohibition, we need support! We need a hand not judgement.

10. Hello I suffer from chronic pain medical conditions like five of them know all serious that’s for sure and I had been under pain management doctors care. I will not name the medication but it’s a patch you wear for 3 days at a time. It is very powerful but that’s because I have a very serious pain throughout my whole skeleton. My bones my joints my muscles my back’s a mess forget about it. Broke my hip and in 2019 my orthopedic surgeon said it was one of the worst breaks for people in my age. People that are in their 90s would get a bad break but not a person 40 years younger like myself. I got two titanium rods put in 6 in long each supposedly and a titanium plate and titanium screws. He was right when he said you’re most likely going to have pain every day with it and I do.

    Now my pain management doctor retired. But I have been under the care of pain management for many many many years and fortunately I was on the same dosage of these two meds to patch and a medication time release capsule are very effective. I don’t know about now with the hip and a spinal stenosis acting up that causes foot drop that’s nice and the rapper C got a whole bunch of stuff. that’s just the painful matters. Crohn’s disease abdominal pains but then I have non-pain related medical conditions as well that is serious now. For instance, my state has a medicinal marijuana program dial I was just thinking about this they say it on it doesn’t come in any other form except in smoking it. As far as the dispensaries are concerned the ATCs so they call themselves. I was hoping that people in I guess I have to join Facebook which I’m not fond of since they hacked the people’s accounts every like three times a year. 40-50,000 accounts get hacked and your personal identification is out in the wind.

    Anyways I was hoping that some people may have recipes for me to get 100% of the strength of the painkilling strength of this medicinal product I was thinking most likely a tea but I don’t know how about how to go about it and making it. Maybe I can empty a tea bag out and put it in there and so good I don’t know, and then what it do with the Define stuff does leftover that’s still should be good because it should be some strength in it. So then I thought about YouTube looking up some recipes if they have them on there but I hope some people out there have some suggestions for me and how-to instructions on how to get it into my system, since I can’t smoke it because I have asthma. I’m hoping it’s affected I understand it’s quite effective I mean I have a very very serious pain I get when I’m in the hospital and they do an MRI on my spine … cuz I go to the emergency room immediately I start getting injections of pain medications every 4 hours and then it’s just a matter of waiting for whatever is pressing on the nerves in the MRI pictures for the swelling to go down basically.

    Sorry I appreciate any recipes for the medicinal product to get it into my system 100% usage of the product that we getting. I need some recipes I’ve been up all night which is another medical condition I suffer from but it’s not a pain for one but if you don’t get proper sleep it elevates your pain, that I know for 25 years. I’m looking forward to some interesting recipes and suggestions and I thank you for your time my name is Fred. Adios.
