Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
I WOULD LIKE ALL OF US TO TAKE A LONG LOOK AT WHAT CHOOSING THE VICTIM STANCE OR CHOOSING TO BE THE PERSON WITH POWER HAS DONE FOR US EACH INDIVIDUALLY. WHAT HAS EACH CHOICE PRODUCED IN OUR LIVES?
MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT I PRODUCE MORE OF WHATEVER I AM FOCUSING UPON.
I AM NOT STATING WE SHOULD IGNORE THE GREAT PAIN AND SUFFERING WE ALL GO THROUGH, NO,NO,NO!!!
MY MEANING IS, BECAUSE OF THIS COMMON PAINFUL TRUTH, WE NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE REAL REASON WE ARE STILL SUFFERING SO NEEDLESSLY.
ISNT IT SIMPLE IGNORANCE? FEAR BASED REACTIONS?
ISNT THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THESE TRUTHS???
FACT 1) THE DOCTORS ARE AFRAID FOR THEIR VERY LIVES.
FACT2) WE ARE SUFFERING FROM LACK OF ADEQUATE CARE, ADEQUATE MEDICATIONS, AND THE ADEQUATE DOSEES OF THESE MEDICATIONS.
FACT3) THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF A POLITICAL "SMOKE AND MIRRORS ACT" TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FROM LOOKING AT THE TRUTH OF THE STATE OF THE ORIGINAL "WAR ON DRUGS", AND HAS SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS OF PATIENTS AND DOCTORS NOT BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN THE TRUTH.
FACT4) THERE IS A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY TRYING TO RUN A MEDICAL, AND SCIENTIFIC ISSUE.
FACT5) WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES AND THIS GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY IS SUPPOSE TO BE WORKING FOR US, FOR THE GENERAL WELFARE AND SAFETY OF US, AND IS RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE TO US, THE AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO PAY THIS AGENCIES PAY CHECK AND PUT THEM INTO POWER TO HELP US WITH "ILLEGAL DRUGS" AND THE "ILLEGAL USE" OF SOME OF THE DRUGS WE USE TO MAKE PEOPLE WELL.
NOW... BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE GRACE OF FINDING EACH OTHER HERE ON DAILY STRENGTH, I BELIEVE IN MY HEART AND MY SOUL, THAT WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER UNDER THE BOND WE HAVE FOUND HERE AND FIGURE OUT THE WAY TO LEGALLY CHANGE THESE VERY WRONG BEHAVIORS OF OUR GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES FROM THE D.E.A., TO THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS, AND COURTS THAT WOULD TAKE ON SUCH A FARCE, AND EVEN BOTHER TO LISTEN TO THE LIES BEING TOLD ABOUT THE DOCTORS AND THEIR PATIENTS.
I AM NOT THE MOST EDUCATED PERSON, NOR DO I UNDERSTAND EVEN WHERE TO BEGIN. I JUST KNOW WE DO NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS KIND OF INJUSTICE IN OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I KNOW THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE TO CHANGE THINGS LIKE THIS. I KNOW IT TAKES THE PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER AND SCREAMING THE TRUTHS FROM THE ROOFTOPS, FROM THE STREETS FROM THE MEDIA AND THE WRITTEN WORD.
I AM BEGGING THOSE OF U WHO ARE IN PAIN AND ARE EDUCATED, WHO ARE SKILLED IN THIS ARENA, WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE WORLD OF POLITICS, THOSE WHO KNOW THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM.... I KNOW THERE MUST BE THOSE WHO'VE WORKED IN THE MEDIA, I AM SCREAMING AS LOUD AS I CAN AND CRYING THE TEARS OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIED, HAVE BEEN JAILED, LOST THEIR WHOLE LIVELYHOOD AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE SUFFERED TOO............ PLEASE WE MUST GET TOGETHER. LOOK AND SEE WHATS HAPPENING HERE AND STOP AND EVERYBODY LOOK AT WHATS GOING DOWN AND TAKE A STAND TOGETHER FOR WHAT IS RIGHT. MAKE THE CHANGE FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARENT EVEN IN CHRONIC PAIN YET, OUR CHILDREN AND CHILDRENS CHILDREN. PLEASE HEAR ME, I PRAY U ALL HEAR ME.
WE HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE AND QUIT TALKING ABOUT HOW "THEY" ARE CAUSING OUR PAIN TO BE WORSE AND FIX THIS FOR OURSELVES BECAUSE OF OURSELVES AND BECAUSE I KNOW WE CAN........
IN LOVE, LIGHT, AND TRUTH

I have some GREAT news. The PRN forum has only been up for less than a year, none of us had nay experience in devloping a forum.
We are at this very moment developing a new forum that will be less complicated and totally user friendly!! I am so excited, and it's really beautiful too.
We must bring this crisis into the very consciousness of America. We need fund raising ideas, we need T-shirts printed, we need hats printed, we need slogans for posters and clothing, we need media attention, we need print attention. We need to write to the editors of our newspapers, we need to make Youtube video's, we need to support this organization's work, as it is the ONLY way this war on sufferers will be won.
The Controlled Substances Act is the ROOT of this war on docs/drugs/patients. PRN is the only organization doing this, and we are the only organization with no funding. The PRN board is made up of 6 people all working for free, our Congressional medical experts work for free, our constitutional lawyers work for free, we need funding in a big way. Our support comes from ourselves, and most of us are very limited now. It is not inexpensive to take on the states and the Federal government. In fact it is very costly.
We are fighting for you the people, this is your fight too, and we need you.
I am excited everyday Terrieanne, I am so happy to see others become motivated and on fire like you. It just has to be.
Please bear with us for the next week or so until the forum is up. Will be so much better for all of us. Hugs all,
Oh, and just call me Tami.

Where do we start?
LEAP: We Can End Prohibition Again!!
Read the report: The Budgetary Implications of Drug Prohibition - Jefferey A. Miron, Dept. of Economics, Harvard University, December 2008 (PDF)
What You Can Do - Take Action!
Seventy-five years ago this week, Americas leaders had the good sense to end the failed thirteen-year policy of alcohol prohibition.
Once prohibition was enshrined into the Constitution, its supporters thought it would be permanent.
But the failure of the Noble Experiment was so great, the prohibitionists could not stop the repeal movement.
Today, America is fighting another prohibition, the war on drugs.
Once again, a large majority of the public knows prohibition is a failure, but this time there are much graver consequences.
While our drug prohibition policy has already lasted much longer than alcohol prohibition, it is, fortunately, just as temporary."
