Pain Pays

With over 50 million people in the United States; pain pays. The recent pill mill craze and it's demise has left so many of us in pain without the ability to pay or find relief, many seek out age old remidies such as Heroin. There is such a stranglehold on the availabiliy of legitamate pain relief, used in conjunction of a strick adherence to a doctors supervision. There are still those who do follow doctors directions, who find their insurance companies snuffing out legitmate remedies, due to the obsorbinate cost, desperation of those with chronic pain and the limited number of physicians that now prescribe these medications, most doctors are fearful of the consiquence of handing a loaded prescription to anyone they have not known for several years. This for many makes traveling or relocating impossible. It's also an avenue to being completely broke. To many, the only way out often ends in suicide. We become depressed, feeling hopeless and unable to care for ones self. We suffer from halucinations, often suspicious of others motives, which might come from not being able to care for ones self. There has to be an answer for the 50 millon of us that suffer day and night from pain, which can be treated so we can live more productive and happy lives. Animal lovers purpote to not seeing an animal suffer, yet many of us suffer in silence, behind close doors.
