"I was enrolled in a clinical trial for Abstral 7 months ago. This worked well for me, so my pain doc started giving it to me. Now my doc is being told I am not allowed to use it because I don't have a diagnosis of cancer. I have lupus, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis, which are quite debilitating most of the time. If I am not having a lupus flare-up, I'm having a fibromyalgia flare-up, or a RA flare-up, so I never know when I'm going to have a hard day or a good day. I don't wish for cancer, but I do wish the pharmaceutical companies would realize that cancer patients are not the only ones in chronic breakthrough pain. Abstral works well and works in five to eight minutes."

"This drug merely gives a feel-good factor and feeling of energy to do things that never happen. It is highly addictive. The withdrawal symptoms are awful, and the NHS do not know how to treat patients withdrawing from this. It should be used at the end of life or for inpatients only."
