Primary care stopping treatment cant find IL Dr.

I have Ehlars Danlos and I am being treated by my primary but out of nowhere she said she will no longer be treating anyone for pain with opioids due to pharmacy pushback and that she will only be sending those patients a 2 week refill and then they need to see a PM doctor. This is crazy to get cut off like this. I can't find a PM doctor in IL anywhere that isn't just a "steroid injection only" doctor. Those have never worked for me ever. How do I even find a compassionate doctor in IL that will continue my care? I take oxycodone 20mg 2x dialy and it works perfectly for me. Man over the years it has been impossible to find treatment. My primary finally agreed and then boom took it away. This is putting me in a very difficult spot. Every office I have spoken to is non medication treatment for the most part. I know how to ask as well for "continued care" as soon as they hear that it's like bam this office only does procedures. I am super lost and stressed out now.
