Pain Relief Shouldn't Be A Crime
We speak the truth the media ignores; pain patients are being abandoned, forced off opioids, and ignored. We provide the education, resources, and community they need to fight back, and we support the providers willing to stand with them.
What We Do:
Start Here – You’re Not Alone
If you’ve just been cut off from pain medication, denied care, or abandoned by your provider, you’re not alone. We will help you understand why this is happening, what your rights are, and what you can do right now to protect yourself & fight back.

I thought I was alone when I found myself involuntarily tapered off the medicine that was giving me quality of life. I was thankful to find Claudia Merandi and the DPforum to realize that millions have endured the same unfair treatment from a system that has tried to overcorrect an “opioid epidemic” that had nothing to do with Chronic Pain Patients. Hopefully I’ll live to see chronic pain patients return to being treated respectfully and realistically in my lifetime.Posted on Google nikki fenwickJune 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These ladies are doing God's work! Knowledge Is Power. The more you know about this particular subject matter, the dumber, madder & more powerless I feel. I appreciate their ability to keep up with the ever changing laws, rules, suggestions, policies, recommendations... And who are the good guys & the bad guys.Posted on Google Mich ElleJune 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing things are happeningPosted on Google Amanda NettekovenJune 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I accidently found DPF while browsing Facebook Reels. I was so relieved to find out that I was not alone. After years of injections, anything but actual pain medication and being dismissed it was a breath of fresh air. This team works around the clock and hard for the rights of pain patients. I highly recommend following the DPF and Team.Posted on Google Betty HagueJune 2, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
