Do you vaguely remember me and wondered why I cried? My desperation to stop the pain almost ended that day last year. I had lost my hope and my will. Almost. I am everyone who has ever battled and suffered through chronic pain. We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and to have all the right questions asked or answered. We deserve the best treatment and therapy that medicine has to offer without judgment and denial. The needless suffering of the pain patients in the US is a national disgrace. Tomorrow I wil be the voice of the chronic pelvic pain patient. I will listen, I will educate, I will ask and I will use reason and patience. But I will not be bullied or brushed off and if I have to, I will demand. Invite me to speak of my experience and I will gladly accept. From this moment on, I will no longer be the silent face of the chronic pain patient. I will be heard. And I vote.... 24129@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 04 Dec 2007 04:11:14 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2994.html#22470 i am speaking for my son 40 year old male . who has thorasic spinal pain from a work injury. who has after many doctors all of boston ma. stature. has diagnosed the only help is medication for him. a very popular medicstion, and is very helpful to him. he has finally got a quality of life back they never thought he would. thanks to the pain medication. we have him around as much as he can. please keep this going in pain management it is a good thing. those who have pain use it for their benefit. and their pain so they have a quality of life they wouldnt have without it. it works for those who take them the right way. and keep it up. there is no addiction with them. just help, those in pain use it correctly. do not make them suffer because of the druggies out there who abuse this. thank you.... 22470@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 25 Oct 2007 14:01:40 EDT
