I guess I was a little behind in current events. My bad.
Before the other day I did not read current events AND my doctors did not tell me their personal problems with the DEA, cause my doctors figured I had ENOUGH problems. Anyway I did not know that DEA agents were after pain management doctors.
So when I moved and had to change doctors I was shocked when my new doctor said "well I need documentation as to WHY you have pain now" I didn't understand what he was talking about, boy was I behind the times. My life is pretty much just aimed at keeping my flairs under control, working and trying to get the groceries through the front door!
I can't spend much time on computer so I just did not know that the DEA was affecting my health care until now. So I had a friend help me with looking into the situation and here is what I found.
The first thing I found was that the DEA was shutting down pill mills everywhere. I thought that sounded crazy, but I also did not know that pill mill even existed. I thought doctors only prescribed pain medicine to people who have severe pain and disability. I have never seen a pill mill so I didn't know what it was. I probably have missed alot in the ten years since my diagnosis.
I was really curious why it took the DEA so many years to do something about the pill mills. Not the reputable pain management doctors who help sick people, but places that were prescribing pain meds to anyone that asked for it. How were they able to stay open for so long? It seems they were in operation for a long time with no problems from anywhere. That just seemed really strange to me that nothing was done for 10 years and then all of a sudden there is just this huge problem everywhere. This did not happen overnight!!! So I looked a little deeper and then found something interesting. The patent on oxycodone is expired 4/2013. Which is the very same drug that the DEA said was causing the pill mill problem. So it was ok to sell the oxycodone at pill mills until the very exact same time the patent expires??? hmmm....I don't buy the official story.
Then I saw the first t.v ad that said "are you addicted to pain medicine" 'we can help you".... with suboxone...which is also a pain medicine. So now that the pill mills are shut down everyone can go to another clinic to get pain medicine that is called suboxone. What a scam. Wonder when the patent on suboxone runs out?
I read that there is a huge problem with oxycodone addiction and that is why the DEA had to do something. WHAT? The DEA knew about the pill mills for years! YEARS. Too bad the war on drugs program couldn't stop this problem. Funny this government agency has spent enough money to start a whole new country with streets made of gold!
When I was younger and in college I did see alot of what was going on in society at that time. There has always been drug problems in this country. It just seems like each generation just gets a brand new drug. My generation had cocaine then speed....I had a few friends fall into that trap. It is sad, but there has been addicts in every generation. This is nothing new, and this will probably never change.
I would not be saying these things except I believe people need to know, especially people who have pain syndromes that will need pain medicine at some point.
I spent a few days thinking about everything, it made me sad. But then I became empowered....I felt something else fishy and started to connect some puzzle pieces. I was wondering how the money was going to be made with the loss of oxycodone sales. Then I read a article about how the afghan heroin was flooding the streets after the recent DEA shutdown of pill mills, and that many people were dying because the heroin was so pure. It was easy I just followed the money.
DEA shuts down pill mills
oxycodone patent expired 4/2013 (read what this means)
afghanistan heroin flooding streets of america
Seems the same people who operate the war on drugs are also involved in the afghan heroin trade. I don't see any other way to orchestrate such a complex market.
Maybe it is all just a big coincidence?
I found out today I have appointment to see the TOS specialist so he can tell my pain management doctor "why I have pain" since my surgeries were 10 years ago...... so that I can get the care I need. Maybe it would be a whole lot easier to just move to afghanistan.:eek
