Opioid Crisis Methods Are Making Pain Patients Suffer

See Links at end of this!! Intractable Pain Sufferers around the world are being forced to suffer in agony, tossed aside by a failing system and a misdirected, misinformed attack on the only means of relief under the guise of a titled warfare called "The Opioid Crisis", misleading Americans and the world to believe that this crisis of overdoses are coming from patients who are in pain being prescribed opiates, when in fact, their own data and studies say it is the drug addicts who use heroine that the real crisis lies under. This attack on opiates has gone in a direction that has lead to millions of human beings who suffer intolerable pain to be left without any dignity or quality to their lives. When these organizations who are leading the attack and falsifying information are confronted with the issue of those who are suffering indignities due to their actions, and asked for solutions for those tossed aside by their flawed system, they have no answer other than "We know the system is not perfect and we are trying to find ways to resolve those imperfections". Meanwhile, the millions must suffer in constant pain and agony, which may lead to their deaths. They jumped to an imperfect action, before they were sure that those who suffer from severe intractable pain would be cared for. They are forcing us to fight battles that they could resolve by simply adding IPD code(s) for Intractable Pain and adding exceptions for those who suffer the most, legitimately, in their rules and guidelines, separating Intractable Pain Patients from your common drug addict heroine user. It isn't all that hard. So we must battle on, until we are finally heard and acknowledged. So be it!
