Well, all of this opiode crises - is very hard on us legitimate pain patients. I am one - with severe spinal issues. I just don't even bother to ask for pain medication - my doctor refuses to prescribe - and wants me to go to "pain clinic" (- a dehumanizing cruel experience - test pee - treat me like a criminal). Pharmacists are also refusing to fill these prescriptions. I'll just live with pain. Truth is opiates just work - for a very short while.
