Pain Doctors targeted by federal gov't
This diary is my reply to the diary Ft Lauderdale's Oxycontin Express by Keith930. He presents reports that people are flocking to Florida from other states to buy Oxycontin & other pain pills. The diary presents the people doing this as junkies, but as I and other posters to the comments on the diary point out, they could also be pain suffers who are looking for relief denied to them by their own doctors because of a campaign against 'excessive' pain pill prescriptions by the DEA & US Attorneys.
after which a lot of blah-blah-blah

3. Wish I could make them suck it up and when they are writhing in ghastly pain from a virus eating away the mylin sheathes coming out of the spinal nerves I'll be sure to lecture them on how WEAK they are and tell them to shut up and take a tylenol. Because anyone who uses pain meds MUST be a filthy loser addict!(sarcasm on the filty loser addict thing)

2. Off to Greatest
As a kid I had chicken pox and my mom was infected with shingles .I have Post herpatic perephrial Neuropathy. And osteophites and disc issues due to a cab that didn't have thier lights on and me having no advocate.The cab was going 45 mph.
I flew.And I was sent to the local ER and was released the same night.
Fast forward 12 years, my back is a mess. Sometimes the neuropathy is in remission and it just aches. But when the neuropathy decides to hurt it is so painful all I can do is take a painkiller.If I had to suffer through the terrible pain until the neuropathy decided to quit tormenting me I would very likely try to kill myself ,
Why? Because the pain is THAT bad.Last time it happened, my roomate had to get my pain meds for me because I was writhing crying and could barely talk on the phone to the pharmacist and there is no way in hell I couldve got there myself. Once I had meds it took a bit of time to kick in but it was mercy,and I fell asleep. I woke up later,pain meds still in effect and could go to the bathroom,yes it was still hurting through the meds but I could function.
After the flare up was over I was fine, it was back to a low level constant ache.
If I can't get pain meds due to addicts and idiot teenagers stealing them from thier grandparents I am going to be very,very angry. And if my pain becomes too much and I cannot get any help in the anguish of the moment as severe pain can really warp your outloook on life,I just might die and then what.I am sure the DEA and thier ilk are not going to think of the consequences and shed any tears over my situation.Because to they that write laws I am invisible.
After which other primitives whine about their pain, as if primitives are the only people in the whole wide world afflicted with pain.
And finally, the pederast primitive:

11. Chronic Pain patient since 2000.
This attitude that anyone taking something that might cause addiction must be an addict, and the fear that prevents most doctors from daring to proscribe painkillers is hurting a huge number of people.
I am one of the very few people I know in serious pain who gets adequate pain treatment. Most doctors refuse to even consider pain a real symptom because they have no way to treat it. How ridiculous is that, while we have assholes out there screaming that we have the best health care on earth?
Until doctors are free to treat pain as a real symptom, we don't have real health care.
Until primitives stop being hypochondrial, the primitives will never get well.
