Bold bid to rein in painkiller prescriptions hits roadblocks

having had spine surgery and went through several years of intense chronic pain....this type of shit used to anger so so much. When you decide to just stop dealing with the pharmacies always being out of stock and doctors too scared to prescribe and switch to heroin....things get so much easier and cheaper, you can relax again knowing that your medicine will always be there. Sure you worry about jail...but when you are in that much pain jail doesn't seem bad compared to it. If you are a legit chronic pain patient just take solace in the fact that heroin isn't going anywhere and live your life until they lock you in a jail cell for using medicine and destroy your whole life.

I always told myself that if I was arrested for heroin.....i would get up infront of the courtroom and tell them to fuck themselves in the ass....if you make painkillers illegal for cripples....i'm doing heroin and i will do it in jail also because I have the right to not be in pain.

And doctors would only continue prescribing the drugs if patients show significant improvement.

And when the patient is "improved" and not feeling pain as much...they don't need painkillers at all anymore!!
thats some circular ass shit


the good thing is that these are CDC guidelines. not laws. Most doctors aren't on board with this bullshit because they see people in real life living in awful pain, its their job to help them....not to try and prevent junkies from getting their hands on pills...thats a cops job, so doctors don't really worry about it much
 
With all the fentanyl (and it's analogues) going around, if I had crippling chronic pain, I would be buying heroin in bulk while I still can.

Although there have been so many OD deaths in Vancouver already, an estimated 90% of the heroin here is now cut with fentanyl. Probably better to seek just fentanyl in this case (or an analogue and dose volumetrically if at all possible...)
 
:\ Someone told me last year "If I suffered like you, I'd shoot smack!" Don't laugh too loud, but I had to ask what "smack" is?

I've hurt for so long...whether from traumatic injury or stage 4 disease and the surgeries and chemo to "fix" the unfixable.

I won't belabor the point.

I can't take pain meds because they choke my bowels. My transverse colon almost ruptured last year. It is gnarled with disease and adhesions, yet no surgeon will touch me.

TMI, but I just spent the last 2 hours taking a very painful enema, with little result. I have a "pain management" doctor who tried me on Fentanyl on my first visit. Sadly, I couldn't tolerate that either.

I don't dare terminate my contract, but he's not helping me. He has told me outright that the very meds he was encouraged to prescribe for over a decade...are now the same ones the feds want to STOP him from prescribing. He looked me straight in the eye and said he has patients committing suicide, rather than deal with "unmanaged pain".

So "NO", few seem to give a flying fuck about those of us who suffer chronic pain. And "NO", I can't "shoot smack".

I feel such empathy for those of you who suffer from injury and/or disease. Heartfelt hugs.
 
^ pcp actually worked well on my chronic pain and has no effect on the bowels that I'm aware of. although mine was spinal so totally different from yours. But I've read other accounts of people using pcp for pain.

at a certain point...if you live in that much pain...you need to just say fuck these stupid religious-based laws and take care of your own self.

I am very concerned about what is happening to chronic pain patients in the midst of the heroin crisis. I strongly believe these people should take ownership of their own well being and maintaining a decency of life and take illegal heroin (or pcp in your case maybe).

the money spent on insurance and doctors visits and refills is enough to get heroin with.
 
The doctors went overboard with OxyContin and Percocet and similar opiates in the late 90's up until a few years ago..you could go to the DR with a minor toothache and leave with a script for like 60 percocets or even some OC's and then people end up getting addicted after a while..so the FDA and DEA decide to make hydrocodone a schedule 2 drug like oxycodone, morphine, methadone, etc. and now when I have a bad cough and need some cough syrup I get codeine syrup which is much weaker than hydrocodone syrup, and is less effective by a lot. So the doctors and FDA went from over prescribing opiate/ opiod pain meds to the extreme of making them much harder to get for legitimate needs, which is terrible and stupid. Meanwhile heroin is much more available than ever, tends to be higher purity than in past decades, and is cheaper than ever. Heroin producers in Mexico and other places saw this coming with the proscription pain meds abuse going on in the US..hell I know they did, I even told some people from south of the border 10 years ago that they could make lots of cash by smuggling in OC's and other pain meds because the doctors would eventually cut people off, but they knew all that of course and I suppose the big guys in Mexico just grew more opium poppies and learned better ways to produce and refine the heroin they make down there since tar would not fly on the East Coast, but powder will...wonder sometimes if the cartels and the DEA and FDA did not have some kind of money making deal going on the whole time?!! Who knows but really the FDA, DEA and doctors along with Purdue pharma sure as hell made a nice new market for heroin dealers and producers! Maybe the CIA has a hand in all this?! Crazy to think of being true, but not to sound like a paranoid conspiracy type, but stranger things have happened over the course of the last few hundred years..
