To the Family of a Chronic Pain Patient

If you have a family member who is suffering with chronic pain
you may have thought that if they use opioid pain
medicine
that they would become addicted and start down
a long road of despair and failure.
Just the opposite
would begin.
Once their medicine was titrated up to the amount
they needed daily to control
their pain just right,
they'd once again become productive citizens.
Many are amazed to have their
old husband or
wife back
once their pain is controlled.

In one study by the US Government,
only 7 out of 24,000
pain patients
who were ON narcotic
or opioid
pain medicine,
never had ANY problems with addiction
when they found a way to stop
their pain.
And they believe that those 7,
making up a tiny fraction
of one percent,
may have had
addictive personalities
to begin with. So the chances of your loved one
becoming addicted are
just about zero!
They will become "dependant" on having the medicine
at all times, but that's
entirely different
and everything must be done to see to it
that they have it if they are going to
rejoin
society and become productive again.
The problem that your loved one faces
is in getting enough opioid medicine
to control all of their
pain, all of the time.
That's where YOUR help is vital
if they are going to survive.
The suicide rate for Chronic Pain
Patients
is 900%
above the average because
most families
don't know this information.
Another 17,000
Americans are dying
of the bleeding complications of NSAIDS
because most doctors didn't provide them with
real pain medicine instead.
This is because of their fear of the
Drug Enforcement Administration and the ravages
of the War On Drugs that turned on
innocent doctors and began prosecuting them
as though they were some kind
of Drug Dealer
when they were actually treating pain right
and doing what medicine was designed to do
in the
first place.
Once they come
to understand
that
what they thought
they knew
about drugs
is all wrong
and the
result
of years of propaganda,
many families are amazed at the change
in their loved ones who are finally provided
with adequate and ongoing opioid pain medicine
for the rest of their lives.
By helping your loved one now to
return to the living,
you can change their life and insure
that they will be with you until a ripe old age.
At the American Society for Action on Pain
we help patients like us find doctors
who know that pain must be
treated
or the victim will be lost.
By helping your loved one get to a doctor
that one of our members recommends,
you can save their life and begin to enjoy
a fresh new person who will be eternally
grateful for what you did.
