Partying all night with PAIN

to the NH Board of Medicine.........
      I have written in on a few occasions with questions and concerns and only received a simple letter back saying there was nothing they or anyone there could do to help me, more or less.
   without taking too much of your time, I have a few simple questions. Why, after nearly 15yrs have Doctors stopped treating my pain? Not only can they not prescribe a quarter of the dosage (so they say), that after 15yrs and 6 professional Doctors concurred was appropriate?           15yrs of fairly decent care, now to very little relief resulting in severe acute intermittent pain, that results in long term chronic recovery pain. I am in sever pain as I write this, and have no medication at all for break-thru pain.
    My concern is that many Doctors do not know what to do, as the "New" laws have been enacted and revised. And the Fact that when I do make an appointment I present fairly well. They do not see the hours of intense stabbing, burning, etc, etc. Pain I'm sure you hear too often.
 So, what exactly is this New limit of Mgs per day? My Doctor tells me at 75mgs (10mg Methadone 3x, and 15mg Oxycodone 3x) "I am already over the max" and cannot help me any more than that! However, I read 120mgs was the cap before certain other precautions and steps had to be in place. (Random urines, documentation, monthly office visits,etc.) But basically 120mgs, not the 75 she claims, 
   Second, can my new Doctor change my medication without telling me? He swapped the 15mg IR for 15mg T12. I sadly know about medication since I was crushed in a car crusher and became a bi-lateral dis-articulated at the hips person. I wish I never knew anything about medication. But it seems two long acting medications and nothing for break-thru pain is a step backwards. I won't even bore you with inadequate dose age requirements for sever phantom limb loss pain, or what I had been prescribed in past years. 
   So, what can a Patient do about Doctors that mislead/ lie to patients? Are they accountable to anyone? I know when I worked, I was always accountable to someone...at the very least the customer.
   To recap: what is the "Actual max dosage...if any"  (you can point me to a reference) and two, "Can a Doctor change your medications without consult?"

 Dick, Mr. Dumass, I realize you are not obligated to tell me anything that is not part of you job,,,,and if that is the case...would you please tell me just who is and where I can find them.

  Thank you very much for your time, and again in advance for any assistance you can afford me. I been basically without pain relief for seven months, and I would like to continue to remain in my home, independent. Not in a nursing home, or worse.
it's been very hard for me.

Will they reply? HAAA. if so, it will be with a "nothing" of any help for sure.  IF you are dieing of pain, that will make them happy.  this is bullshit and if I weren't screaming every 20 seconds, I would expound on it.

for now, this is it. I will tag, Label, and revise at a latter date cause this sucks and soon, it won't even matter, because we all die in the end.

what are you going to do with the limited hours/days left oin your life?
Me... I guess I will scream a twitch.

Please...if you like, add some comments.
