Not used since 1998,I was using the subs as a painkiller in the end,the amount I was cut down to wouldn't get me high but it helped a great deal with pain.
Then the nhs out sources to a private company,I get told I shouldn't be on it cos was not a user any longer,nag nag nag so I get cut down to nothing,that was over 2 years ago,still trying to deal with pain,its made life a lot harder not having those subs,have had more health problems in last 2 years than last 40,coincidence?
Hi TG
Sorry that happened to you. To cut you off from ANY pain relief is a flat out crime. Animals are given better pain care than we are. It's not right that they leave people to suffer like this and things have to change. All they are doin' by cuttin' people off is chasin' them into the streets to find relief. They are makin' law abidin' folks into criminals, but what do they expect us to do? I know these STUPID lawmakers are taken care of if they're in pain. They are humans (I think) just like us and have no right to decide to let others suffer. They were "elected" to help us, not play God.
I have the feelin' they are tryin' to do away with any drug that actually helps us feel better. BUT, until we all stand up and fight this, they will get their way. Not just with this problem, but with everything they do to all citizens. Things in America have changed soooooo much over the yrs. that it's no longer the America it was or was meant to be. What happened to our freedom, our privacy?
I fear for all of us in the future. Thank God we still have a few ways to help ourselves, but how long before it's all gone?
Good luck to you TG. I hope things get better for you and you get the pain relief you deserve.
