"I'm in the same situation, my insurance stopped paying for Fentora. Their response is that Fentora is used only for cancer patients. If there are more people in this situation, please write. RSD is a terrible illness, in my opinion."

"I have MS, and one of my symptoms is severe pain with muscle spasms. It gets so bad as to completely debilitate me, where I am unable to stand, sit for long periods of time, and walk up or down stairs. This medication is life-saving for me. It has allowed me to return my functioning so that I am mobile again. I can walk up stairs, work out for short periods of time, and live a fairly functional life where I can go to the store, walk around, and attend family functions."

"I have a type of neuropathy that basically cripples me. I was taking oxycodone for years, but it just made it so I could function. When my doctor prescribed Fentora, it was like a miracle. I can live now, not just get by."

"I have used Fentora for breakthrough pain due to RSD, which is a nerve disorder. The medication, when I can take it, makes a huge difference in my daily routine. Unfortunately, the last 2 years, my current insurance will not pay for it, so my family has been paying for it. Initially, we paid $4,000.00/month, which quickly became impossible. I am currently taking 1/4 of my daily dose I should be on. Needless to say, my daily routine now causes me to spend a lot of time in bed, pain, and nonproductive."

"I am tremendously grateful for Fentora and the people who make this med possible: the manufacturer, my pain physician, and my pharmacist. I continue to battle esophageal cancer, have had a full esophagectomy and a thoracotomy on each side. This drug works within 2 minutes, doesn’t present any side effects, and allows me to complete many tasks I couldn’t do without this medication. The cost is outrageous; however, Medicare and USPF provide an unbelievable level of support to me financially!"

"I am on methadone for cauda equina nerve pain and CRPS/RSD. If it was not for the Fentora, I would be dead years ago. I needed something to knock out the pain fast, as I have bone-on-bone/nerves in my lower back, no hardware, 2 emergency lamies, nerves entrapped. Opana for breakthrough took too long, I waited as long as I could, 45 min to 60 min. Be on the floor in a ball with shocks every 6 seconds and toes and feet sawed off. Body would jolt. I would take another dose of Opana, and a couple of times I almost woke up dead in my own excrement. The only complaint I have on Fentora is that it is like a sweet tart, and you're not supposed to suck on them. I also have sore areas in my buccal area now."
