Pain and our rights

[Guest guest]

Pain and our rights to pain relief. There seem to be a lot of doctors

out there who are clueless and therefore won't prescribe narcotic

pain medications (even if they are the only thing that works). Those

of us with fibro and other illnesses have a right to not be in pain.

We have a right to live a normal or somewhat normal life without pain

and if that life includes pain medication then whose to deny us. I

think a few people makeing these laws and scaring doctors need to

have what we have and experience first hand the pain we go through

then maybe they will understand. There are mornings that when I wake

up it takes every ounce of strength I have just to get out of bed and

then I walk around like a 90 year old lady for a while until the pain

goes down. I'm lucky I have a doctor that does take care of the pain

but I did have to sign a pain contract fine by me as long as he takes

care of the pain. When I was last admitted to a hospital they flat

out told me I had the right to ask for pain medication and I had the

right to have my pain relieved. Guess what they made sure that I was

in no pain while I was there. So screw the government and the doctors

that are afraid to treat patients. Those types of doctors are not

following the oath they took to become doctors. They are doing us all

kinds of harm by letting us live with pain. We have a right to life

and to a life without pain.
