MS sufferers denied drugs which can stop patients “screaming out in pain”

It makes me sick that human beings can be made to suffer in this way.

If it was an animal in pain they would do whatever necessary.

Something that grows naturally and can give such relief it rejected due cost. It probably costs more for other treatments and resources to help and support people with this awful illness.

I wonder why peoples priorities and morals can be so warped

Pain is still not addressed as  a major problem by many hospitals
.It says it all when Burnley did not replace their Pain Consultant when he retired, that is why we have to trail to Bury and Bradford for Bill's treatment and prescriptions & went several weeks without his hospital only drugs while waiting for an appt at Bury

Mark doesn't often say he's in pain but I know he is. The only movement he has is the painful spasms he gets 24/7.  I wish the people who makes these decisions could spend a day in his life.
