Default Advocate and a documentary

Hi Maria,
Thank you for your response. I am currently working on some ideas and pulling together and emailing this to quite a few of my Vet buddies, that know quite a few more, and so on, with the same problem. I am also starting my own website and FB page. Trying to set this up as a Non profit for Vets and then starting looking around for Donations to get an informative Documentary made about how Veterans are NOT treated for their chronic pain. I am going to start asking these other veterans to email me their stories or post them to the website once it is up. And of course we won't be able to use everyone but we will use as many vets as possible in the actual Doc.
This will take a long time and will be a painful road. But I am disgusted with the way Veterans are treated when it comes to pain. They throw drugs at me for everything else and they WAY OVER medicate PTSD but they under treat and under medicate severe chronic pain.
The last month of my life has been ruined and I hope with this new Dr. at the civilian Pain clinic I can get the help I need. I will keep everyone on here updated.
Thanks Maria and Mark,
AJ
