Went to pick up my Moms meds..DEA Agents Showed up NW NJ

annnnd my last comment killed this? So here is the thing. awhile ago I saw some really sad stuff on Twitter. It was from pain patients. They were talking about mass suicides and new drug laws that were really bad for them.

THEY BLAME "drug addicts". They INSIST that THEY are not, and in fact they hate "drug addicts" because the addicts made it hard for them to get their "medication".

I got into it a little with them. I have NEVER had so many replies in years on twitter. This link is a long read but the advice to commit suicide happens umpteen times in it more after you get into it, it is just NUTS.

So they would rather kill themselves because of pain than join their drug addict enemies and slurp down a little methadone? It just does not make any sense to me. Maybe it is pharma-bots making this stuff up I don't know, but I do know if it were me and my legit pain med was cut off I would call myself a drug addict in a heartbeat if it meant relief from pain.

Get out of Alabama if you can. The state is run by ignorant rednecks that think holistic doctors, herbalists and acupuncturists are evil foreign heathens and have probably run any they had before out of the state. Medicaid there is unlikely to cover any natural treatments because the State Legislature gets to determine how those federal funds are used, not the feds.

If you're not too far from a state line, you might be able to use that Medicaid in another state that has a better set of options simply by explaining to Human Services that you cannot get any medical help where you live now. It is definitely worth a phone call to find out.

It's odd that your sons have the same disabilities! If that can be proven by medical records as a genetic propensity, it might speed up disability for you. You're going to have to lawyer up to get it anyway; even your Alabama phonebook is going to have pages of lawyers that specialize in that. The lawyer will get his or her fee out of the larger sum you get when your payments start, or out of the settlement if you file a lawsuit - it seems to me you have a reasonable case for one.

Thank you. I empathize with you as it sounds as if your life is akin to mine. I live downstairs, apart from my wife because I have to try to get whatever sleep I can in a recliner; I cannot lie flat. The fear of losing what is left of my pain meds is a daily worry that is always in the back of my mind. We do sit and watch a lot of our lives go to waste. I try to do what I can outdoors, but activity just aggravates my condition, and with my reduction in meds and my doc not grasping the concept of tolerance of a 20-year opiate user, I am limited in what I can do.

My life was so much better when I found many ways to access meds. Now that those have gone away, my life has gone downhill. And I am too stupid to figure out the dark web, and even then, too dumb to figure out how to use bitcoin. I am retired and just want to live what is left of my life in the best way possible. I have to cash to purchase all the meds that I would need for the rest of my life, but I would not have a clue where to find them now. As it goes now, I don't want to live much longer and am trying to speed up my demise by eating as unhealthy as possible.

I really wish the CBD or edibles would have worked for me. I tried them all, CBD with thc, without thc, vape pens, bath products, balms, oils, you name it (S.I.L. is a manufacturer and is always trying to find new things for me to try. Different strains of thc products made no difference. Aside from making me a paranoid mute, it also focussed my mind directly on my pain and intensified it. So I can sympathize with your use of the products. It is great for some but not for all. It is the same way with opiates, some work for some people, others cannot stand them. I just happen to be one of those people that it drastically turned my life around and made it worth living.

Good luck to you in your struggles. I hope that someday you find relief for your pain and ailments. Or better yet, a cure. Medicine is always advancing, so do not lose hope. One thing I need to look into is stem cell treatment. I have heard little about this and would like to find out more.

I wish you well in your life, and peace and pain-free days. Have a happy Easter.

Im so sorry..have you tried kratom? It's a miracle for chronic pain..I used it years until they made it illegal in my state. Most states it's legal, tho...you have to expierement with it....use it different ways until you find how it works best for you...gaiaethnobotanicals .com is a good place to order...try to get a sample pack of various strains. .
Green maeng da is ideal for pain...a miracle really..it gave me some of my life back for a while....please look into this! I'll be praying for you.
