Summary: An individual with chronic pain and neuropathy supports the petition to have NarxCare regulated by the FDA or another government agency. The commenter expresses frustration over being denied pain medication and a lack of transparency regarding their NarxCare score.
I would like for NarxCare to be regulated by the FDA or another government agency. I have severe neuropathy and chronic lower back pain and caiatica. Since the opioid epidemic, which was primarily due to street drugs, I’ve been denied pain medication. I don’t know what my NarxCare score is although I’ve asked my doctors and they don’t seem to know what NarxCare is, much less my score is. Prior to 2018 I had been on strong opioids. I was forced to taper off myself.
