No it is harming people. I have been harmed due to doctors fearing the consequences for prescribing them which has left me bedridden and unable to function. This has completely ruined my quality of life, which violates my constitutional rights.
Me too! I’m 75. As my Dr began tapering me 3 years ago, my QOL steadily declined. For 30 years, opioids allowed me to sleep at night and get up in the morning. Up to that time, I had lived on my own for 5 years. During a period of a year-and-a-half, I steadily loss my ability to care for myself. Finally, the loss of adequate pain control put me in the ER with a Dx of a TIA, a “pain crisis,” and “failure to thrive.” I’ve never returned to my home. I went directly to skilled nursing for a month to recoup my strength and learn how to use a wheelchair. Now, I’m in Assisted Living. It’s an expensive prison. I’m in too much pain to take part in activities here. I can no longer enjoy visitingwith my children.for more than a hour or two. I can’t afford it here. I’m running out of my savings and have no idea what I’m going to do. I’m scared.
I am sorry that you are going through this, it’s downright inhumane. I say a prayer every night for people that suffer through chronic pain that this doesn’t happen, it’s downright wrong. I feel like such a burden to everybody and I keep having to apologize, apologize, apologize, and it’s getting ridiculous. I hope you can get to feeling better soon my friend so you can get the hell out of there. You deserve your old life back!!
