#chronicpain fear driven policy of opioid avoidance is weak. NPC has been looking for verifiable truths & here is the first chapter. The overblown fear of heroin addiction is brought into perspective. Heroin addiction is rare & can be halted early shorturl.at/SPSw1

#chronicpain If you have been mocked, laughted at, told you were lying in a hospital prepare a complaint and send it to the hospital ethics committee. If fails find out who the board of directors are send one of them the same letter along with the response you get from ethics

#chronicpain FDA only approves two pain medicines Tylenol and the opiate, narcotic, opioid, group. NPC is avoiding the word opioid in favor of pain medicine, pain killer, pain medication to treat pain. The best word is analgesic which are pain medicines.

#chronicpain A common inflammation blood test is C-reactive protein CRP ask your doctor or NP to get if extremely high proves inflammationdiagnosis code for R64.10. Inflammation causes pain. Opiates are both anti-inflammatory and painkillers. So they are first choice drugs.

#chronicpain The mystery of chronic pain unraveled. The NPC Discovered when drafting our compendium of rare painful diseases 90% of them have elevated cytokines and/or CRP proving they are inflammatory diseases. Mystery solved. Treat with only dual pain/inflammatory- opiates
