from link 1- Christine Grable Lewis:“I’m so tired of people who don’t have a clue about how we feel telling us that we don’t need pain medicine or it’s all in your head. If that was the case then there would no need for them to even make these types of pain medications.â€
Nicole Delancey-Border:“The CDC says over-the-counter pain meds should be used first. I don’t know a single person that has pain that didn’t start there. Most people take fist full of OTC for years before they seek help. OTC pain meds are just as dangerous if not more so than other types of pain meds. I have a 19 yr. old with pain and no one will help her. She is going to die with all the OTC meds she takes. To be honest I don’t think it will come to that. She tells me once a week at least she will take her own life. And to think the gov. is worried about people in pain taking heroin. I don’t see the connection people who have pain if given what they need to control their pain will not seek street drugs.â€
Roberta Henry:“I’m very disappointed in the CDC. The government has NO business telling doctors what they can and cannot prescribe for their patients. And, heroin should not be categorized in the 40+ deaths they claim take place daily from painkiller overdose..."
