This was in my email today - thought some people might be interested.

The American Pain Foundation Thanks YOU! YOUR voice is being heard
and YOU are making the difference in the movement to remove barriers
to effective pain care for all Americans.

In just six days (June 22 to June 29, 2009), we received 4,075
signatures in support of the petition; many of you added powerful and
heartfelt comments! Every state of the union was represented, as was
Washington DC. In addition, residents of 24 foreign countries & U.S.
territories submitted comments in support of U.S. citizens. On June
29, 2009, APF submitted its comments and position statement, along
with this petition, to the FDA. We also included each of the
powerful and personal comments that petitioners wrote for the
ultimate impact.

Thank you for all you are doing to improve pain care! We could NOT
have done this without YOU!

We hope that you will keep up to date on critical issues about pain
and its management that affects you or those you love. Please visit

will make a difference!

" I belong to this too, and they really tell you how you are to be treated, when you discuss your pain. Not just be "told" what to do. I got the fiirst newsletter, and it had an article on fibromyalgia. That was great. Now we need to get on Oprah! "
