I am a chronic pain sufferer with rhuematoid arthritis and live in terrible pain. I am 36 years old and need 3 joint replacements. The narcotics I take allow me to live a minimally normal life. Since moving to Utah, I have had problems finding a doctor who isn't to afraid to prescribe my meds. The mds I have seen would rather see me suffer and lie in bed 24/7 than help control the pain. I have 8 yo twins and since moving here I can no longer take them to the park or walk them to school. The goverment has no right scaring doctors into allowing chronic pain sufferers to live in misery!!!! I didn't ask to have this disease and I am not a drug seeker. These databases only keep the meds out of real pain sufferer's hands!! Drug addicts just find other ways to get their fix while real patients live in pain!!! This is not a solution its an invasion of my privacy and my treatment. Non-pain sufferers love to boost how they are helping people with no thought to the damage their "HELP" does to good people with horrible diseases!!!!
