Hi Aimee ~ I know what you're going thru. I have a lot of spinal issues, and it STARTED with DDD, but I've since had everything done that a pain doc can do, and I mean EVERYTHING, then I had 3 surgeries, including a spiinal cord stimulator implant and removal, I've seen the heads of 3 Neurosurgery depts. in large hospitals and they won't even touch me, so I'm deemed inoperable now. I'm disabled and only meds can help. My GP is the only one who can prescribel for me, cause like you said, pain docs won't.

Won't your GP prescribe for you? Is HE afraid of the DEA too? If so, you may have to look for a new GP who would be willing to prescribe for you. I don't know what I'm going to do when MY doc retires cause he's getting up there now in age. Without meds, I can't even walk! It's pretty hard to walk WITH meds. LOL

The DEA has NO business in our care. They need to keep their noses out of it. But i guess they have to justify their jobs, so they pick on doctors for prescribing to legitimate patients instead of going out and getting the REAL abusers!!!

I wish you the very best Aimee. I hope you can find someone to prescribe for you. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
