Reply to comment by Boozeled in DOJ sues pharma giant AmerisourceBergen Corp. for allegedly helping to fuel the opioid epidemic by alwaysrm4hope

I have personal experience with both sides. I worked as an rn. I have an inoperable, degenerative condition causing pain that took forever to diagnose as it's rare. I'm married to a prescriber at a pain management clinic.

I've seen and heard all kinds of stuff. I think we are essentially now in an unstated opioid prohibition.

I can understand the need to avoid over prescribing but now people are left with trauma from not having adequate relief at all. It's all about money, always has been; first it was $$ for over prescribing and now it's $$ for not doing anything at all. Soon it will swing back to $$ for prescribing- once there is a new wonder drug for pain relief.
