@DavidWolfe The Government subsidized corn and created the problem to begin with. An oversupply of corn made corn syrup cheaper than sugar and the market reacted by switching ingredients.
Expecting the Government to fix the problem that they created SMH? I ain't going to hold my breath.
@Katamac1967@PainSteals This barbaric behavior cannot be called healthcare.
Our system is broken and people are suffering.
We should make compassion a priority for everyone not just the drug addicts.
We all deserve better treatment from those who have turned from gatekeeping effective medicine to slamming the gate shut. The gatekeepers have failed their responsiblities and now it's time to let someone else manage the gate.
I don't know how we get there, I just know that it won't be soon enough.
@Shem_Infinite Just knowing where we would be if the Democrats had won makes me eye roll at the skeptics and doomers.
Our current status is paradise compared to the alternative.
Pain patients: The FDA needs to hear from YOU.

Babesiosis is a nationally notifiable condition in 41 states plus D.C. Cases are reported by state of residence (not necessarily where the person was exposed). Annual reported numbers have fluctuated but generally trended upward over the past decade:2023: 3,586 (highest in the published series)
2022: 2,111
2021: 2,674
2020: 1,827
2019: 2,418
Most cases occur in the Northeast and upper Midwest (New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Wisconsin, and others). Wisconsin, for example, reported a record 164 confirmed and probable cases in 2025.
These figures represent reported cases that meet the official case definition. Actual diagnoses are higher because:Not all states require reporting.
Mild or asymptomatic infections are often missed.
Some analyses of insurance claims have estimated tens of thousands of people seek care for babesiosis-related issues each year.
@mongo207 Addicts don't break pills in half.
The doctors are so convinced that everyone that asks for pain relief is "drug seeking"
It's become standard operating procedure to deny and if you push back you get a demerit on your NarxCare score (which is unconstitutional by the way)
@ibdgirl76 This makes me sick to my stomach. They took easy money from the Pharma industry instead of going after those who caused tremendous suffering by eliminating access to medicine.
I feel like we're fighting on multiple fronts and they are all covering for each other.
@danaparish Someone needs to ask why Americans can't get Azlocillin but can hop across the border to Mexico and receive treatment. It's an antibiotic known to eradicate all three forms of Lyme bacteria.
