Hi all! When I first read the article I got a little freaked out. Now I my only real concern is the attention that these OP's are getting which will sooner or later make it extremely difficult for us people with real chronic pain to use their much needed services. Loses OP's is something I worry about. I just recently over the past 4 months realized that their were legitamit OP's out theire and before them I was suffering a great deal more than I am now. I understand that their are people that abuse OP's but thier is always going to be a bad fish out thier. I just hope that things don't get to be more difficult but, the more newspaper and magazine articles I read about this the more I know it will happen. These articles only tell one side of the story I have yet to see OUR side yet. If I was a great writer I would tell OUR side of this painful story. If any of you out there are try to get OUR side of the story published somewhere.
