Senator Patty MurrayVerified account

Senator I respect what you're trying to do here but prescription limits are only going to hurt chronic pain patients. Too many of us are already struggling to access medication we need in order to function.

I fear for my own survival, a person can only deal with so much pain. I had to leave school months ago, because my doctor said I had to choose between meds for anxiety and meds for pain. My pain meds were cut by a 1/3 and I am allergic to the only pain med made available to me.

More talk no action. These are just photo ops for you. The pharma queen is making the rounds with the peasants.

Please remember, that many citizens of WA are chronic pain patients. I have Fibromyalgia, Dystonia, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Chronic Severe Migraines, and many more autoimmune diseases. Pain patients are being harmed due restrictions on pain meds.

My Dystonia and migraine Botox requires $600-1200 after insurance, that is not something I can afford on a fixed income. Patients are committing suicide, and losing hope. Your doctors and insurance will drop you if you consider the right to die.
