okay EVERYONE, THIS IS IT!!!
I don't know if you saw the story on pain keeping people from being productive; obviously some smart person steered that reporter in the right direction.

WE GOTTA FIGHT NOW!!!!

By the way, I know we are not just fighting for the right to opioids and benzos; we are fighting for quicker response to symptoms, before the nerves learn their ingrained lesson, we are fighting for dignity, we are fighting to be counted, we are fighting not to be "oh that poor washed-out person! they used to be so full of life!" (meaning part of the competition), we are fighting to admit we need pain meds and the absence of fear to ask our docs for scheduled, humane 'holidays', and also we are fighting for some research on how to release these endorphins and serotonin, and dopamine, on our own, without meds, by some kind of natural stimulation.
With all those poor animals with electrodes on their heads, no one has figured this out?
COME ON!!!

The moment I can do it on my own, I will drive, no speed past every pharmacy and every drs office.

I would love to pay them only if they kept me WELL!!!

I think we all have gotten scared lately; now it is time for focussed, non-violent, attack; by mail, by e-mail (be careful; find a way to do it anon.) by calls, by constant, unrelenting attention.

Just like they are giving us.
