One reason legitimate people with intense pain cannot get the right
medicine is because the doctors are afraid to write prescriptions
because of threats from the DEA but the street bums can get all they
want. As long as patients do not abuse pain killers they should be made
comfortable. I know I stay in so much pain that if I could not get some
relief, I would commit suicide as I could not endure this hell of
adhesions. The DEA needs to leave legitimate doctors alone and
concentrate on all the illegal things around. Thanks, Dolores
