You are so right on. I would go to the street to find painkillers for my loved ones. Who gives a rats if they get addicted two week before they die? I would doctor shop, fake muscle strains, whatever. I watched my hubbys parents go through HELL before they died because of this crap. My mom has fibromyalgia, and she says sometimes the pain is so great she'd rather put a bullett to her head. Luckily she has a permanent prescription for codeine (finally got a Doctor to listen to her after almost 60 years of being told it was all in her head), and gets some relief with that, but not total. Pain management should not be controlled by the feds.

And not by The Doctor either if he lacks understanding or is intimidated by this overprescribing bs.

But, what's a person to do? I wonder how Rush is handling the pain now. I assume he still has the pain. Surely he needs some kind of pain medication.

I have a friend who is in 24-7 excruciating pain. Without medication, she would be dead or might as well be.
