    I applaud @realdonaldtrump for signing legislation today containing reforms I fought for that will help more Americans fighting opioid addiction find help and allow more providers to administer care.

        ADDICTS will get what they want when they want so this does NOTHING to them. BUT, we do things the RIGHT way & are losing our Dr's & either removed off meds with NO weening(which is inhuman) or the medications needed are cut in half, some of us are on what we HAVE to be on..

        ..for quality of life!! Your overdoses may go down, but you need to look at the suicides that have increased because the CDC & DEA are dictating what we can & can't have OVER our Dr's that have treated us for years.

        PLEASE LISTEN TO US!!!!!! This "OPIOID CRISIS" is hurting & killing people that just want to live the best life we can while being in pain that dictate our lives. I have RSD/CRPS aka the SUICIDE disease. Taking away our meds is killing us.

        I am 41yrs old. I've been bedridden for 6yrs & now need 24/7 care/can't be left alone. I am in pain 24/7. The pain is NOT "normal" pain. To touch my foot or feels like it's been in a freezer(min 6-7° colder than other foot) for hours but it's SO sensitive to even a breeze..

        ...that not even my softest blanket(and that's ALL I own is SOFT bc my whole body is sensitive too) can touch it. Then there's the fire, it feels as if all the blood has been drained from my foot being replaced with acid & lighter fluid & lit on fire...pic.twitter.com/4GwfegVQ4p

        The McGill Pain Scale has us at 46/50. There is no cure, there are no treatments. ALL we have available is our pain management Dr & whatever regiment of medications we've had set up for YEARS. What I take ONLY makes it possible for me to sit up & watch TV without screaming..

        ...and then there are the days(more often in winter & summer) where at ANY moment, ALL I do is scream & cry. NOW the disease is spreading, so THAT pain is all the way up my right leg & right arm & internally. I'm ONLY 1, there are so many others that are even worse than me...

        Yeah it's just really too bad that chronic pain patients got sucked up into this War on Drugs. We literally can't get our medication anymore and all because people choose to take drugs illegally

        I feel for your situation, but it’s not as simple as people “choosing to take drugs illegally.” It’s a whole pathology fueled by many different things including our nihilistic culture. I used to be someone who said “just another junkie” until I almost lost a sister.

        I lost my son to a methadone overdose I am not by any means and sensitive to the situation. He got his drugs illegally on the street. I know the pain that goes along with this and how it ruins lives of all the people around them when it happens.

        She’s still with us but came very close to death several times. She’s been sober for 3 years now. I wish you all the best. I didn’t mean to assume you had negative intent.

        Yes, another day off work to sit in MD waiting room, another copay, more paperwork for MD, less time for other patients, more business for insurance company.

        Please don't forget that there are people with legitimate chronic pain conditions that require opioids just to get through the day.
