Pain Survey

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Liz Beth and I'm a fellow chronic pain patient who has

suffered for many years now. The reason I'm writing is because I have

something very important I need to share with the chronic pain

community.

As many of you may or may not know, on September 13th-14th, the FDA

had planned to meet in order to discuss whether or not ALL chronic

pain patients would continue to be allowed to receive opiate pain

medication from their doctors. This meeting is very important to the

chronic pain community as a whole, and could have a huge impact our

quality of life if the FDA decides that ONLY terminal cancer patients

will be allowed the use of opiate pain medications to treat their

pain.

Due to our recent national tragedy, however, the FDA decided to

reschedule this important meeting to a new date and time (not yet

posted, but likely in the near future.)

Therefore, in an effort to do as much as we can with the time we have

left, I, along with a small group of fellow chronic painers, have

developed a brief Pain Survey we wish for all people who experience

chronic pain to take. It's very short, and should take less than 5

minutes to complete. Your anonymity and privacy are guaranteed

(please see privacy policy located within survey).

We hope to gather as many replies as possible with the time we have

left. Once the deadline for the new FDA meeting nears, we will

collate the results that have been submitted (to date) into

statistical data. This data will then be presented before the FDA's

Anesthetic and Life Support Drugs Advisory Committee along with a

detailed explanation of the findings.

Thank you for taking time to read this and participate in the

survey. I am happy that YOUR voice will be heard on this very

important issue.

*Please note: ONLY chronic pain patients who are currently being

treated with opioid medication, a.k.a. " pain medicine " ,

should fill

out this survey (as that's what the FDA meeting is about). If you

have any questions as to whether or not the medication you take falls

into this category, please feel free to contact me at my e-mail

address listed at the bottom of this page.
