I have to correct an above post regarding the prescribed uses for Oxycontin, for one it is NOT to be used for acute pain post surgery even though some physicians stupidly write it that way. It is meant for chronic pain patients. Yes cancer is a big one but it is FDA approved for all types of chronic pain. There are multiple types of pain disorders besides “fibromyalgia”. I for one have a pain condition called peripheral neuropathy, diabetics get it although I am not diabetic there are other causes. There are also things such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, back injuries, and various other very painful conditions that Oxycontin is used for. Now, generally those conditions don’t need 80mg twice a day to control the pain but there is no ceiling dose and you do develop tolerance, which is not dependence or addiction. In fact they find that treating back injuries with pain medicines instead of surgery for a good amount of time results in the same level of positive outcome and is less expensive/invasive. I am in nursing school and was a pharm tech for 7 years so I’m not blowing smoke I have actually dealt with the addicts and the real patients who get a bad name because of the drug addicts. The rep told us they are trying to develop a tablet that is crush proof or will destroy the compound if crushed but it is in development stage as of yet. The doses range from 10-80mg and when used properly controls pain very well. A study done of cancer patients (don’t have the link sorry) using pain control as much as they needed to control the pain (study participants 25,000) only 3 became addicts. The risk is when you don’t control the pain properly and people take more than they are supposed to in attempts to control the pain, then they get that happy feeling and like it so it gradually develops into a habit. Oxycontin is not the enemy, the people misusing Oxycontin are the ones who ruin it for everyone else who does truly need it. Also the coating of the tablet hides the taste that may be in the powder so if she knows the powder tastes bad, she crushed the tablet. Yes, I know I’m not talking about Haleigh but I just had to clear that up because that was just not an accurate statement, although I can understand why you think that.

Misty is definitely more than a drug addicted child.

She’s got nerves of steel, and that ain’t human.

So either she knows she’s right or she really don’t care and either way…

She learned how.

Art,
The #35 Poster NBV Cananda got it right when she said that “You are a Voice for the Voiceless.” Thank you Art, for being that Voice. I hope you have a very wonderful Holiday filled with all that your heart longs for.

You deserve it. You have an amazing group of people on here following your website.

Little Haleigh, her family and all of the people trying to help her, are in my thoughts every day.

Again Art, thanks for being the kind of Journalist and Human Being that you are. I believe the World is a better place because of people like you.

God bless you and yours !

I Tip my Hat off to You !
Debbie

For Haleigh!!!

Twas The Night Before Christmas.

Twas the before Christmas and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, Not even Haleigh, She’s Lost.
In another two months it’ll be a year, Where is Haleigh, everyone fears!
With toungs waggeling here, and fingers poingting there.
Still no fessing up for Haleigh, Anywheres.
When up on the roof top, I hear a clatter,
I leave my computer, to see the Matter,
I See Nothing, But a Bright Star Shineing Above,
And with this Sight I Ask Heaven Above,
Tiss the Season of Peretual Bliss
Please Bring Haleigh Bug Home, I ask Ye This,
As Snuge as a Bug in A Rug! She Desivers to be,
So that She Might enjoy, What Most Children See,
And Trigger Some Reality Of What Most growenups take for granted.
That in a Twinkeling of an eye, A Life can be taken,
Hold Still the Night a Child is Left alone, A Thief has Stolen a Life She once knowen.
So Bright Star Shining Above, With Jesus help, Find Haleigh, She’s Lost.

My Prayers are with Haleigh this Christmas, We will Keep her in Our thoughts And Prayers, Amen.

Merry Christmas Haleigh! Where ever you are!

Hello Again, Art. Where have you been? You’ve been strangely quiet since Thanksgiving. What’s the deal?

wow. I just rode through palatka the other day on the train on my way to south Florida, couldnt stop thinking and praying for Haleigh, but I definitly noticed how thick the woods are and how very difficult it would be to find her in all that brush. The area was extremely swampy too. I also though how easy the adductor could have hopped the train, they didn t even check my huge piece of luggage (duffle and regular suitcase) which makes me think someone could bring a child on the train and no one would ever even know, really freaked me out. I stepped off at the stop and prayed to God that he will help us find Haleigh.

anyway, Happy Holidays if there is such a thing in this crazy world.
