"Chronic Pain Sufferers Are Scared by Ohio’s New Opioid Rules"

Chronic pain sufferers fear they could become casualties in the war on Ohio's opioid overdose epidemic.

She has to go to a pain management clinic once a month to get her oxycodone pills to treat her chronic pain. The laws and rules she has to follow makes it demeaning and difficult for her. There is NO treatment that would help her other than opioids. Yet, thanks to blooming idiots who take opioids just for recreational addiction make it hard for the ones that actually need these medications to get the relief they need.
