A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

At one point I was on 12 T3’s a day for the lower back pain from the collapsing discs; especially S1-L5. The next step was to go on Opiods (hope I spelled it right) anyway. I decided to go for a breast reduction and pain management instead. Anyone else?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I am collecting information in an attempt to contact those that are making our laws about opioid addiction. I have already contacted some law makers.

It Seems To Be That The Federal Government Including The DEA, Won't Nothing More Than To Stop All Pain Medications,opiates Especially,
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

There doesn't seem to be a thing we can do about it,I've been cut down on the strength of my pain meds so much I'm never out of pain and have no quality of life,my only option is is to cut both my legs off just to get out of pain,it' crazy, I've never failed a drug test, I've always had my pill count and they still keep cutting me down., I see why the suicide rate for seniors is going up,what else are we supposed to do,they want us to die off anyway.
