I am very interested in the initiative. My husbanf suffers from chronic pain as a result of treatment for invasive head and neck cancer. His pain while never controlled is really only the problem. He suffers from depression and anxiety b/c of the difficulty he faces each month due to federal regulation of CII’s and the attitudes of pharmacists and physicians. He has been accused of being a drug seeker, lazy, and weak. He is a prof engineer and works full-time. The meds just make it bearable. As a pharmacist and a faculty member I am saddened by the attitudes of those who claim to care.
