Hi folks,
This week another letter was sent to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance abuse, the Hon. Jane Lomax Smith. You can read it here.
The letter details the plight of Nicola Heelis a fellow pain sufferer who like those we are fighting for, suffers from immense indescribable pain, and is treated like a drug addict. I urge you to read the letter and respond.
It appears as though we are starting to get somewhere at least. People are starting to recognise the problem a little more, however it is still a mightly long road with a huge fight to win dignity for chronic pain sufferers.
Please do your bit, and get your family and friends to sign our petition and sign up for regular updates. We need as much public support as we can get.
