now everything I wrote just disappeared into cyberspace. I am a 54 year old woman who has had chronic pain since 1999 and I am to the point now where I don t wish to live any longer. My quality of life is so terrible and the people who are abusing prescription drugs have scared so many doctors (and I don t blame them) that I cannot even get into see a pain specialist or rheumatologist. I ve tried EVERYTHING EVERY DOCTOR HAS SUGGESTED AND I VE SEEN MANY MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOCTORS AND IT HAS BEEN 15 YEARS AND I KNOW DOCTORS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSERS,, THEIR LICENCES, THE DEA ETC. ETC. BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHOSE PAIN IS RUINING THEIR LIVES???? I M AFRAID THAT ALL THAT I VE WRITTEN SO FAR IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH FIBROMYALGIA AND JUST GET SCOFFED AT AND AM PRESCRIBED SOMETHING I VE TRIED A MILLION TIMES BEFORE AND SENT AWAY! I NEED TO FIND A DOCTOR WHO WILL LISTEN TO ME AND HELP ME!!!! I LIVE IN NORTH DAKOTA AND HAVE (TYPICALLY) BEEN FLAGGED AS A PILL SEEKER WHO JUST WANTS TO GET HIGH WHILE I AM IN TERRIBLE PAIN AND NEED A DOCTOR TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. DOES SUCH A DOCTOR EXIST?
