First Do No Harm: The DEA Targets Physicians Who Treat Their Patients Pain
This is getting insanely out of hand and it infuriates me. Please sign this petition if you have been treated this way as a pain patient (U.S. only), or even if you haven’t to support the cause.
The Drug Industry Might Finally Have An Answer For Migraines
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/migraines-new-drugs/
I’m on day five of a migraine, and at this point I’d murder someone in order to be rid of it. 😦 I was in bed so early last night and slept over eleven hours (unheard of, unless I’m REALLY sick). I’m still in excruciating pain. I still can’t stand the sound of anything (people mowing their lawns, the radio, etc.), and I still want to crawl under the covers and pray for this to end. 😦 I keep hearing people minimizing all forms of pain they do not personally suffer from; blowing it off as people “wanting attention”. If I “wanted attention”, the last thing in the world I’d suffer from are migraine and Fibromyalgia. If anyone in your life minimizes your pain by denouncing it as “a fake illness” or disrespects you by saying you “want attention”, by all means, send them in my direction. I enjoy hitting things.
