THIS IS WONDERFUL!! I HOPE EVERYONE WITH ARD WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE SITE AND INVESTIGATE THEIR OPTIONS AND THEIR R-I-G-H-T-S AS CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS.
WE ARE ENTITLED TO LIVE A PAIN FREE LIFE. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BLOWN OFF BY PHYSICIANS WHO ARE INTIMIDATED BY "ADDICTION" AND THE D.E.A AND SUGGEST TAKING TWICE THE PRESCRIBED AMOUNT OF OVER THE COUNTER ANALGESICS SO THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR NARCOTICS.
LET'S TRY AND GET THE A.M.A AND EVEN THE FED. GOVERNMENT TO WAKE UP AND RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE LIGITIMATE, WE ARE SUFFERING AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.
