don't get me wrong with the icon I am angry because the changes that may be coming when it comes to pain meds we need and if this bill and law passes we chronic pain suffers wont be able to get the meds we need

my pain management doctor already took my vicodin away from me and he was talking about the new laws that may be passed so know I am going to have to suffer in pain or find a pain management doctor that will give or put me back on my vicodin it was helping and he put me on tramadol that does not help me

yes that's so right lizardlady I don't know if I said what meds I was put on by my pain managemet doctor he treats my chronic back pain and wont treat my fibro pain which its chronic pain he has me on tramadol and muccle relaxant they are not touching my pain chronic pain or my chronic back pain so I am suffering he did have me on vicodin because the laws may be changing next year ill post the link here if you guys have not seen it

there is also comments from doctors saying if the law passes they cant give chronic pain suffers meds they need its because the people who abuse there pain meds and all the addited to there meds .

also if it passes you wont even be able to get the cough med when your sick that has pain med in it .

even surgons commented on it that they wont be able to give the meds they give people who has had surgery the pain meds they need

here is some about what is going to happen if it passes this is someone who suffers with chronic pain to and I read this post on facebook also here is the link at the end of this read the doctors comments they are right with there comments You know how there is this big push now by the FDA to reschedule hydrocodone (ingredient in Vicodin, Lortab, Norco, etc) so that it will be much harder to even get a prescription? Well, here's my little vent session that I know only you guys can understand.

It just occurred to me that besides pain meds, I will no longer be able to get the cough medicine that contains hydrocodone when I get my usual horrible respiratory infections. That is the ONLY thing that works and keeps me from coughing until I barf. (I have multiple medical issues, long story). I am so mad at this overly intrusive government and it breaks my heart that they are taking away treatment options for people. And yes, making hydro a schedule II instead of III will do that as many docs can no longer (or will choose not to) prescribe it.

The person who makes the final decision on this? That Kathleen Sebelius woman who is in the hot-seat already. I have a feeling she won't be too sympathetic to us these days.

Aaaaargh! We should all protest in D.C. If it was possible ...
