This article is a must-read. It echoes my own story in so many ways. Chronic pain patients are being driven to the edge. Nobody cares if we jump.

Back in the good days when my pain was controlled, to the point I was working as a surgical assistant, on my feet 12 hours at a time assisting brain surgeons, I got 20mg oxycontin 3x/day, 10mg percocet for breakthrough pain 4x/day. Bit by bit, they chiseled away at my dose, and hence my work and my life. 3 years ago, I had to quit working in the OR. Now, it looks like I have to quit life.
Wow. Too true. There exists the means to help people in chronic pain - and they purposely withhold it. Evil!
