I chose a real pain specialist. I will gladly give my thumb print, and prove I do not abuse if I have to. I hate giving up more of my personal information, but these meds do need to be regulated more. I see the results down here, and how the good doctors now have to be so carefull. I hope my doctor does watch me and what I say on this site. I really don't keep secrets from him at all. maybe they should hearhat we have to say. I think there are real reasons for taking these opiod meds. People truely need them to have some quality of life. That is the issue as stake. Good doctors are being more carefull because the regulators are breathing down their necks. It only takes a few bad apples to spoil the whole bunch. ginnie
