How do you think I feel personally about using opioids for treating my chronic pain? I'm angry.
I am now relegated to a wheelchair secondary to my completely dislocated left hip. I chew chronic pain 24/7. I get no opioids!
I used to be on a 100 mcg/hr fentanyl patch and prn med – at Utica, NY

I never would have imagined in my 60 years that medicine has turned into an evil Enterprize that has a feeding frenzy off the lives of people who are in desperate need of help & use it to make money & to trust our lives with the very evil it has become

Fresh, light and oh-so-healthy, this apple ginger juice combines sweet apples with a hint of spice, and optional #turmeric for even more nutrients. Perfect with #breakfast or as a mid-afternoon treat!

Thank you kelly. I went ahead and messaged him. I'm curious if this means that they are throwing in the towel. If they are, I need to get my fellow physicians at arms.

If Drs in the hospital had treated my pain after my motorcycle accident when I was 15 the way many #CPP are treated today I would never have seen 16.
Along with my injuries and 10 pints of blood which was replaced until the bleeding stopped pain relief was given top priority. – at Warner Robins, GA

I never properly understood the expression "It will take an act of Congress to blah, blah, blah...until recently. Because getting Congress to care about the CDC Guidelines, how they were created and the effect they've had, will take an act of Congress..

Recently we have heard from nurses and doctors at hospitals (who are afraid to give their names) claiming even gun shot wounds and 3rd degree burns aren't allowed to get opioids. It's all IV Tylenol and Toradol. Stop claiming everyone gets opioids "like candy." 2022 is not 1999.

Not getting pain control post op is all about $. 3-5 days of opiates is a few cents. 3 days of a temporary pain pump is most likely several thousand $. Also 2-3 Xs as many holes sliced through my abdominal wall. So I need to find another Dr bc they can make your life a misery.

I’m looking for a new pharmacy; the smaller ones. I am disgusted at the thought of having to find one and have to tell them what I take, and make sure there won’t be problems, fill-days, etc. Makes me feel dirty, like I’m trying to do something wrong. Walgreens/CVS (chains) r Bad

Those who CAN do more, DO do more...
Everyone's efforts are needed, and their contributions should be encouraged, nurtured and appreciated.
What people with limited energy need is guidance on how to be more effective.
Criticism that reports of medical neglect is *Whinin*g😬

People discussing being tapered is completely valid.
Not everyone has either the resources, energy or the fortitude to be able to do more than engage via Social Media.
Everyone's voice & efforts are valuable & should not be denigrated.
