Pain Associated WithA Cancer DiagnosisMillions of Americans living with cancer rely upon opioid pain
medicine to manage the unrelenting pain associated with a
cancer diagnosis and treatment. Often, with proper opioid
management cancer patients are able to continue to enjoy
their lives, work, and spend meaningful time with their
families. Pharmacies sometimes fail to understand how
important this medication is to these patients and delay,
interrupt and even refuse to dispense this medication
completely disregarding the patient’s doctor’s orders.About UsSHARE YOUR STORY -
Pain from SickleCell DiseaseSickle Cell Anemia affects hundreds of thousands of
Americans. These patients suffer from frequent painful
episodes requiring opioid management. Unnecessary
denial and delay of this vital opioid treatment
causes these patients harm and limits their independence
and activities of daily living.SHARE YOUR STORYABOUT US -
PalliativeOrNursing Home CareNursing home abuse takes on many forms, a new form of abuse of
patients in palliative care has emerged with the failure of
pharmacies to properly dispense opioid pain management
medications to these patients or their caregivers

PainFromNerve InjuriesLabeled as drug seekers, malingerers, and otherwise
misunderstood, Chronic Pain patients are routinely
denied vital opioid medications by pharmacies and
pharmacists who fail to recognize the terrible impact
interrupting, denying, or delaying the dispensing of this
necessary treatment. This conduct by pharmacies causes
harms to millions of Americans across the nation.SHARE YOUR STORYABOUT US -
PainFromOsteoarthritis ChangesPatients with arthritis caused by a life of physical labor, sports
injuries, auto-immune disease, or inherited conditions
struggle with pain daily. Opioid pain medications have
become a saving grace for many of these patients affected
by osteoarthritic changes and other “bone on bone”
conditions. Under proper doctors care opioid pain
medications in conjunction with other therapies have
successfully allowed these patients to maintain their
activities with daily living, spend time with children and
grandchildren, and continue working. Too often,
pharmacies and pharmacists have refused or delayed
dispensing these vital medications because of assumptions
made about the patient, because they were uninformed, or
without expressing any reason at all.ABOUT USSHARE YOUR STORY -

Chronic pain patients have been denied their vital pain medications. We are pleased to announce the filing of two National Class Action Lawsuits, the intent of which is to right that wrong. There are a large number of people who need pain medications because they suffer from chronic pain. We have very carefully assessed the problem and believe an appropriate response is to assert the claim that chronic pain patients have been discriminated against in violation of federal law. We have filed against the largest national pharmacy giants, CVS, Walgreens and Costco.
These suits are filed on behalf of individuals who were unable to have or who have experienced difficulty in having their legitimate prescriptions for opioid medication filled to relieve their suffering from:
*chronic pain;
*pain associated with a cancer diagnosis;
*pain from sickle cell disease;
*palliative or nursing home care;
*pain from nerve injuries;
*pain from osteoarthritic changes.
QUESTION:
If I want to participate in the class action lawsuits, what do I do?
ANSWER:
You do not need to call anyone. If you want to participate and you fit within the class definition you will be automatically included. If you do not want to participate, you will be given the opportunity to opt out.
