@Dano1330@GingerGiacomo If you're done w/the US HC sys; what are your plans for your Pain Mgt. & the future? I'm seeing a lot abt Mx, but that's so scary to me.
Pain Pts arent the ones dying from OD. Illicit carfentanyl street drugs are the culprit.
NOT prescription pain relief Rxd to Pain Pts.
They cant stop the street drugs so they target Drs & CPPs.
If Rxs are at an alltime low why are OD deaths at an alltime high?
#savingustodeath
Opioid prescribing is at an all-time low since the 2016 "CDC Guidelines".
Yet the # of OD fatalities rises.
The Gov't has snowed The People, & they bought it; hook line & sinker.
And still, the Pain Patient's are suffering & dying, but no one cares.
(Until it happens to them.)
@ibdgirl76 I've seen them mostly resorting to bragging over how they've reduced opioid PRESCRIBING. Increased deaths and suffering don't count apparently.
@ibdgirl76 These idiots are brainwashed or stupid. The real problem is heroin and illicit fentanyl. The govt can't stop it so they lean on legitimate prescribers. ...Because they can.
@sexton_cecilia@lockedoutofvenu My PM said that he doesn't test for MJ. He said the State expects him to enforce consequences if Pt's test Pos & he knows some ppl get relief w/it (not me, unfortunately) so he just stopped testing for it & now he doesn't have to worry abt it. He's truly an awesome man.
@PainPtFightBack@liv4the_moment@CMerandi I'm a Nurse (or I was, before CP) & I've been looking for a long time for some kind of registry/log of CPP death's due to medication side-effects, cancellation &/or withholding of Rx's, & pain-induced suicide. I haven't found anything. Do you know of any links that you can share?
@JosephFalzoneMD Ima Nurse/CPP. My fave analogy is that a normal baseline is 0.
If a pain-free person takes Opioids theyre elevated to +100: high.
A CPPs baseline is -100/-200. If they take Opioids theyre only elevated to 0/-100, making it possible to function in a normal-adjacent manner.
@CrumblCookies We only just found you yesterday & I'm already stressed b/c we're OBSESSED with the Cinnamon Fry Bread AND the Pink Lemonade!!! Everything is closed r/n b/c of the blizzard & we only have one more day to load up! We'll be SO bummed if we miss out!
@polyeaster@cstraelin@AshleyGWinter *Could not* agree more!!! They're THE WORST!!! I know that everyone has their own personal preferences, but IDK how *anyone* actually prefers a Tampax.
@Taimoor76100415 @instagram Tysm 4 ur reply. I wish I could. It literally wont allow me 2 do ANYTHING. The empty white screen will only reappear, (almost like a worm-hole malware virus), & there r no button options there at all. My Daughters pregnant w/her first child & I'm missing all of her post's/pics.😢
1/2 @instagram Who can help me get back onto my IG feed?!?!? Idk what/how/why, but all I get is a white lock screen that says: Confirm your info on the app" and *if"* I somehow get on, it says "Unable to refresh feed". I haven't said/done anything wrong/critical.
@instagram 2/2 When I tried to submit my account to be reset it stated it's active & hasn't been blocked. I'm at a complete loss & can't get any assistance. Would appreciate some advice/support. Thx.
@mommasings@ibdgirl76 It surely should be criminal! But I have no doubt that it'll continue. I'm a Nurse & CPP, & I highly suspect that all Opioids will be prohibited, eventually.
@MikeMcAulay3 If admitted, asking to speak to the hospitalist about your dose (if given at all). Avoid getting admitted at all costs. The hospitalist will NEVER match your PCP's daily dose. Being a self-advocate will always backfire. Having one of the "fake" disease like ME/CFS, #CRPS, 2/3
When someone says "It's too easy to get prescription opioids" I want to punch them in the face. I'm not a violent person but there are no consequences for being stupid & walkin around spreading such propaganda & falsehoods. It's propaganda that got us here. It's harming patients.
The 'care' in healthcare by MDs has moved away from the patient and is now focused on caring about pleasing administrators and the DEA, while being beholden to insurance companies to authorize medical tests and procedures no less.
No wonder they're so apathetic & hostile.
