What happens when you take effective prescription opioid painkillers away? They go find the effective (but deadly) pain relievers elsewhere! Duh!

Fentanyl overdoses among seniors surge 9,000% — A hidden crisis few saw coming

Joe was given morphine for post-surgical recovery and thought it was wonderful and isnt now a 'drug addict' .. can he make the leap and consider that all the hubbub about 'opioid crisis' is rooted in paranoia and hysteria, and that rx pain medicine has a place in pain relief?
South Carolina just quarantined 153 unvaccinated kids for 21 days after a measles outbreak. Minnesota has 118 under quarantine too. Measles was practically gone until RFK and Trump came along. But hey, MAHA/MAGA, right?
I have a call scheduled with a TX pain MD who’s been indicted for treating pain
0 ods/0 diversion.
The DEA has destroyed her life and many of her pts will die as a result
Meanwhile, safe injection centers are protected
Unbelievable
Society toasts a casual beer (lifetime addiction risk ~29%) but side eyes a pain-relief pill.
Short-term post-op opioid use? Addiction risk is just 0.27-1%—way safer!
Chronic pain patients face even less risk thanks to depleted endorphins.
Pain meds feel like restoration, not a ‘high,’ sidestepping the reward trap of addiction.
Why cheers one and fear the other?
Irony’s thick—fun gets a pass, relief gets denied.

Is it just me… or is anyone else noticing this too?
Doctors and specialists are finally starting to come clean on X, admitting what chronic pain patients have known for years:
That so-called “safe” non-opioids like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tramadol, Gabapentin, Lyrica, Celebrex, Cymbalta, all of them, come with brutal side effects and real dangers to the human body.
We’ve been shouting this truth into the void for years.
Because when you live with chronic pain, you become the expert.
You study every med, every mechanism, every side effect, every lie that gets recycled to protect agencies and pharmaceutical profits.
The DEA, the CDC, the FDA, they’ve turned into bullies and are speaking against the expertise of boomer pain management doctors who still believe pain is the fifth vital sign thus are still trying their hardest to ease the suffering of the chronic pain community.
Yes, there are bad doctors out there.
But there are also great ones, compassionate, seasoned pain specialists who understand that full-agonist opioids have a rightful, life-saving place in pain care.
Now, even non-chronic pain doctors are starting to admit it:
Tylenol will eventually wreck your liver.
Ibuprofen will eventually destroy your stomach lining.
Gabapentin will alter your brain chemistry.
Tramadol will cause seizures in due time.
And yet, we’re the ones punished for needing the one class of medication that actually works for THE MOST PAINFUL SYNDROMES & DISEASES KNOWN TO MAN.
Human suffering has become a business model. 💰💰💰
And in that system, we, the chronically ill, are the collateral damage, turned into cautionary tales instead of treated like human beings in an immense amount of pain 24/7.
This isn’t a “hot take.”
It’s a plea for truth.
More than 150 unvaccinated students exposed to measles in South Carolina schools are quarantining, according to local health officials. https://t.co/YgF7wXa5Zw
FDA admits non-opioids fail us, yet bans opioids—BEFORE better options are available?!
Why punish pain patients?
Truth: Chronic Pain patients aren’t addicts and prescribed opioids aren’t the cause of OD’s. Comment by Nov 10! https://t.co/oq2eaBk6AA #ChronicPain #TLChronicPain💜
