No, I do not recall the Congressional Bill I referred to regarding the VA Medical investigation regarding the care of our vets. It was fall, 2-3 years ago, if memory serves correctly. The bill was Congresses solution to over medicating the Vets, coupled with that not addressing their 'real' needs. That is, giving them pain meds, for pain, when it was determined (no, I don't know who or how the decision was reached) they weren't in real, physical pain, but were 'depressed', or some such. It was determined that 'depression' can, and does, translate to a physical pain. If drugs were given to treat depression the real or imagined physical pain would be alleviated. The end results are: what's good for the VA is good for civilians & their care providers, under penalty of law. Drug companies can sell more mind altering drugs, at greater expense. Lastly our Vets are still not receiving the care they need or deserve, just more drugs. We all have a higher tax bill. Maybe some of us are calmer about it... or just don't care anymore, if the antidepressant drugs are effective?

Not all doctors are left-wing wack jobs. You are dealing with a state that legalizes Marijuana for recreation but takes opioids from patients for legit acute pain. Keep pressing and posting here.

We patients that truly need pain meds for valid reasons and don't abuse them need to start calling our congress men and the white house, we need to start making noise. Congress is including people with illicit drug problems dying from overdose on chronic pain. We need to use our voices every where to be heard. They are not differentiating between real pain patients and addicts. Basically the government is controlling our care. I am lucky I have an amazing Dr. but instead of complaining to each other we need to get groups together in every area which is every state and city, we need to start writing letters and calling as this is going to get worse. Remember congress works for us. We need organizers who are willing.

I don't know what's wrong with this state, it's a very liberal state... What state are you from?... but I do know a thing or two wrong with the anti-opioid pain medication situation currently. The short story; The VA was investigated, 3+/- years ago. 1 discovery; VA Docs were RXing way 'too many' opioid pain killers. The Shrinks & drug companies got involved saying, often the pain is in the patients head, prescribe anti-depressants. As a result, our Federal Congress passed a law restricting the VA from prescribing 'too much' opioid medication. Now even civilian Docs are refusing to RX opioids and are (over) prescribing the hugely more expensive and, according to a Shrink I met, 20% more addictive Psych drugs, rather than opioids! The Vets are not getting better care only different pills, as are we, the public. The VA is STILL not taking 'good' care of our Vets! I don't know what to do about this, either. Write letters, lots of them... spend the postage. It may be an interesting statistic to compare trafficking of illegal drugs since this law went into effect. But this IS a scam, from the highest levels. Congress had no business passing such a law, in effect, forcing people onto Psych Drugs. It really does make me wonder what they're up to and I am NOT a conspiracy theorist, but... this stinks? And for sure it's a money making deal for the Drug companies and who else?

I agree but chronic pain patients that don't abuse their meds and do try alternate treatment should not have their meds taken away if what they are doing is working.I am lucky my Dr really cares about me and my individual situation. I feel for patients who were being treated and taken care of then just abandoned by their dr.

I WAS REFERING TO GRANT. you seem like one of those "wish your pain away people". WC is the law. My guess is you don't have an insurance license.

You should go to the doctor and your employer should pay. They may give you a small supply of pain medication, but with all these new laws it's difficult to find significant relief.

Ang,
I agree with you but we must realize the days of old when narcotics are prescribed as a first line of defense for pain relief will never be revisited. There's far too much scientific evidence to state that opiate/opiod meds may cause more damage then help for LONG TERM chronic pain sufferers . True pain relief is a multi disciplinary field that augments medication with other forms of pain control. Independently niether is effective. Keeping an open mind when treated by QUALIFIED PAIN SPECIALISTS THAT UTILIZE ALL MODEMS AMD PROTOCOLS WILL SERVE US, THE LEGIT CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS BEST.
