Each life saved from disability due to intractable pain is also a victory. Prescription bottle imagery here is ableist and discriminatory, given that the vast majority of addiction results from illicit and counterfeit drugs, not legitimate prescriptions for incurable disease.

I’ve recently left a full time job due to an incurable pain causing illness that has been refused pain management. Unable to work, I will now be forced to seek disability. How is this progress for me?

Be sure you tell your Disability Rep as well as your Examiner ~ JUST MAYBE they will help
Never hurts to ask – especially if your Rep knows you still WANT to work. -
If you tell the disability rep you want to work you’ll be denied disability benefits and they will find you a suitable job with your limitations. Then, when you try said job and cannot do it, you’ll be screwed. Not trying to sound harsh, but that’s the reality of disability.

When my pain was managed I was limited, but I felt like I had options in life. Now that the pain is bad again, it feels like I have none. My research has shown you are correct. Thank you. My world gets smaller everyday, I just wish it didn’t have to.

I’m in the same boat, so I sympathize. Daily pain is a terrible place to live.

Too bad the addicts who abuse drugs will be alive and the chronic pain patients who safely and legally take their prescriptions will be dead due to suicide or on disability due to pain because addicts are more important than they are!

How do you save a life from addiction? Is it reasonable to deprive the 95% of patients that will never become addicted form appropriate pain meds to prevent the less than 5% which will likely find them in other ways?
-
You're exactly right sir, that's what knee-jerking Government does, it hurts the majority because of the minority. Follow the money.

When you take the rights away from non-addicts you will cause them to find alternatives, which will lead to deaths.

You get sick from abusing kratom. Why do you feel the need to police what people do with their own bodies?

Wow! That was trash ass editorial. the fact that you think a "drug free future" is even remotely possible shows me you do not understand very little about drugs or drug use.

I have several relatives who have struggled with opioids. Some of them have used fewer opioids by supplementing with marijuana but then their doctors tell them they can't do it - even though they started taking fewer pills! Doctors say reason is b/c of pressure from DEA. Why??!
-
The DEA is another corrupt alphabet agency, people think DEA are stopping illegal drugs, they aren't, they are stopping ppl from legal drugs
