I’m on medication for chronic pain & have been for 15 years. Opioid medication. It’s what works. I’ve tried other stuff, this is what works, sadly. Prior to my illness ( and now ) I didn’t drink, do drugs or even smoke pot! I hate the junk I take! Here in Cape May County, I am treated like a criminal for needing relief. By my doctors, who don’t communicate with each other & won’t get involved with pain management to the pharmacy. I want to thank the politicians for allowing ME to suffer, while absolutely no dent has been made on curbing this opioid epidemic. Who advocates for folks like me?
