In a related article (below) the AAN is advising less-use of pain medication (opioids) at a time that the FDA & DEA has declared for no-use, or as a new war on all lawful pain related medication, patients, and doctors. The so-called newly described AAN alternative method of treatment is actually a program that is currently in place and has been an option for-use for over a decade. It has been proven to be of a limited relief effect for some patients, but the cost, dollar wise, is several times greater than than of a one pill regiment plan. Likewise, the AAN re-directed method requires that the patient have a very liberal private health care insurance company, as it involves several types of medical specialists for similar pain treatment. Since most big insurance companies decline to allow continuous (more than a few weeks) of this type of referred pain management, even an insured patient will soon be without any help and would then, more likely than not, return to pre-care pain levels and thus, be left without any paid medication help. Hardly a solution for anything or anybody. Add in the new FDA / DEA threat of more legal prosecutions... for these same opioid based pain medicines... and you could end up with a situation where you have senior citizens doing jail-time along side their obstinate pill-curious grand kids. Not to mention losing their home, any retirement funds, and property to the federal overlords of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), via their friends at the taxpayer funded Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
