All of these stories are the reason there is a forum like DB. When it comes to pain management, the law, and the constant fear doctors are in (if not a lack of understanding of what pain can do to a person), anyone unfortunate enough to use the term chronic pain in describing themself has probably experienced a scenario such as any of these. I have even had the unpleasant experience of watching a terminally ill daughter of 19, Osteosarcoma, suffer in horrendous pain before her death March 7, 2003, because her doctors were concerned she might become addicted to medication. What infuriated me was they knew from the time she was diagnosed with one of the deadliest bone cancers there are, she was going to die a horrible death. My pain from her suffering and losing her is sometimes almost matched in passion from my anger at the doctors and their lack of common sense. I know there is a thing such as addiction. I also know when it comes to chronic pain people are desperate for a way to have days in this life that make it worthwhile to be here. If any doctors read these posts, I would ask them to think about the quality of their patient's lives. For the OP's I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for daring to do what many will not; treat patients with compassion and understanding. My daughter spent many of the last six months of her life, which is the amount of time from diagnosis to death, suffering horribly. What was her last Christmas and birthday would have been so much more memorable for us had she been medicated enough to have some degree of comfort. Now I am haunted by her pain and fear. I found DB as a result of that and other situations. I wish to God I had found DB sooner. I would give anything for the tools to have made her last days with us better.
P.S. She would have been 20 on January 26, 2004, and my heart is shattered.
