My old Dr is only taking Cleveland clinic Dr as pantient! I went to him for 20 years! I loved him! The new Dr is okay but doesn't hold a candle to my real dr! I'm so discussed with the new opioid laws, it makes people who have chronic pain out in the cold. It isn't fair at all! Gentle hugs to you! Hope that you have a painfree day!
Did you watch the TV show producded in Las Vegas Called 'The other side of Opioids'? It was done by the CBS station there and is a multi part show that shows how the federal government is really hurting chronic pain patients, its well worth watching
