I am a survivor. I started a petition to help get our voices heard with all this attention on the "opoids crisis" not that there isn't a problem, but that some of us do not add to the problem, but depend on these meds. They need to find alternatives and make insurance pay for them, while continuing to help us live our lives with these pain medications. We should not be punished for the illegal use of opoids (which is lumped with heroin?) any longer. Stop taking away pain medicines to responsible patients before more lives are lost. #opioidawareness https://www.change.org/p/cdc-director-dr-tom-frieden-stop-punishing-chronic-pain-patients-for-the-opioid-epidemic?recruiter=219829291&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=triggered
