I agree with Pete

It must be nice.

I can't get my VA doctors to write any pain killers other than the useless over-the-counter stuff.

Would it help if I moved?

That article is just a libel against suffering veterans. We are all dope addicts and drug dealers, but we were heros when we were serving Uncle Sam.

Between my rheumatologist and my neurologist, they took me off pain medication years ago. When my psychiatrist wanted to up my depression medication I told him no, I asked for a sleep study to determine if I have sleep apnea and sure enough, I was diagnosed it. Medication doesn't do the job for everybody and I think this article is another way VA is saying that all veterans just want drugs.
