Bev Schechtman🇮🇱 Exactly! If she is truly against OPAL Trial data being applied to the treatment of any pain beyond the specific patient group in the study she would point out that Bertha is misapplying the results. She is very suspiciously quiet. We KNOW the deal, this was all part of the plan.

Strict limits imposed on pharmacies as part of the national #opioid settlement appear to be causing drug shortages. Too many suspicious orders and a #pharmacy could have its #medication supply cutoff. #cpp #chronicpain #opioidcrisis #opioidhysteria bit.ly/45Mv382

One woman said patients like her face unnecessary challenges accessing the powerful pain medicines they need to function, in part because of the AI driving the Narx Score used by states to identify potential abuse. wxyz.com/news/an-absolu…

"In plain English, the risk of a fatal overdose at 90 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) is not 'large.' It’s only 0.26% at 90 MME... a level that researchers say is 'small-to-trivial.'" painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2023/1…

NPAC has been working in collaboration with the Colorado Medical Society to implement S.B. 144, newly passed legislation that protects patients on opioids from discrimination. This fact sheet explains the bill as well its intended outcomes. #LivingWithPain #ChronicPain

This is the kind of abuse happening to children and adults alike right now in 'pain programs' across the nation. Note that this is the MAYO CLINIC. #ChronicPain #PainCareCrisis #ExposingPainPrograms #TakeCareOfMaya Thread 1/3...

Outing the family abuser(s) takes real courage because it’s almost guaranteed that the truth teller will become the villain

Every pharmacy's out of most pain medicine citing shortages due to production quotas enacted by DEA. Rite Aid said pharmacists have petitioned DEA to stop cuts as it would lead to shortages yet DEA HQ, in all their wisdom, cut production again anyway. #ChronicPain #PainCareCrisis

Ummm🤔 Why aren't more people speaking out about this?! 😳🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Joy Beth As a disabled person, deliberately making an egg, become a child that will suffer daily, so their entire, and probably short lives, is disgusting. Especially when you’re not providing the care disabled people need, to not suffer, or reduce suffering.

Arianne If the DEA controlled Viagra, and cut the supply over 60%, you can bet things would change. The DEA should never have been granted this much power.

Pt in ER with extreme pain out of proportion to exam. Cop in the ER: You know that patient, right? They're just a drug seeker, they're fine. Final diagnosis: Septic arthritis with deep tissue abscess. Take patients seriously.
