Glad that @JoniakGrant called out the failure of several @supportprop leaders and members to fully disclose their PROP membership as a conflict of interest at the @US_FDA Joint Meeting on May 5, 2025.

But there weren't just 4 PROP speakers; 7 of 10 speakers were PROP members or leaders (with an 8th PROP ally). This is based on objectively identifying the speakers as signatories to PROP documents iterating a position on opioid policy or an updated PROP organizational chart.

Knowing this, it is clear that PROP subverted the intended transparency of FDA's process to further its own demonstrably flawed, self-serving and false narrative.

What I love about pain management is being able to see patients in real time feel better after you've added a pain regimen, adjusted one, or taken away something that was a hindrance to them. It's always important to make sure you are listening and aware of the patient's needs!!

@AssesAreDonkeys @carlso17546 @CMerandi Most "medical sites" like @WebMD have scrubbed the benefits of opiate pain medications. They're doing the same for other medications. We're supposed to pretend they didn't exist and have no place?

Who’s going to break it to these anesthesiologists that Suboxone is an opioid?

RANT WARNING:

Dear fellow physicians,

Please cut the crap with the "opioids are bad" trope. It's simpleminded and harmfully stigmatizes patients with high-impact chronic pain. It's ableist. And - much of the time - it's racist (I see you, sickle cell patients).

If you're reluctant to prescribe opioids, fine - then don't. And don't project your fears onto those of us responsibly addressing pain care for patients with serious, life-limiting illnesses. We are not drug dealers. I get paid the same whether I prescribe an opioid or not. I don't take money from pharmaceutical companies for research or to prescribe certain drugs. I am not anyone's shill.

If you don't know your state's laws for opioid prescribing, admit it - or look them up and learn them. Don't make up stupid💩about prescribing restrictions that don't really exist (and yes, I know some states have misguided hard dosing limits, but not Florida). Don't lie to your patients to hide your ignorance.

Opioid therapy isn't for everyone, but there is clearly a group of patients for whom benefits exceed risks or harms. You're not "protecting them from addiction" when you falsely accuse them of misuse, addiction or doctor shopping. Please, please just stop screwing these people - and stop screwing the physicians willing to help them.

Signed - Compassionate pain care physicians everywhere who are absolutely done with the systemic disinformation about opioid therapy

Get rid of the cartels and give pain patients their medications back.

No more gate-keepers.

Nobody cares about me like I do. I don’t need others telling me what’s best for me.

This is the REAL opioid crisis. And guess what? It already happened before in the 80’s. Whole reason for pain becoming the 5th vital sign. People were being tortured, and others thinking they knew best for you. Medical schools need to be taught a lesson.

History is very important.

Have opioids allowed you to live a productive life?

The @POTUS has asked @SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the @Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so.

Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long.

[PeopleInPain @SpeakPain2Power]

Let’s talk about how those of us w/ chronic pain are pariahs to the medical system. Docs across medical groups and telehealth companies don’t want to even treat our (unrelated to pain) common issues like ADHd, insomnia, or anxiety — at least not w/ appropriate and effective scheduled meds. (And ESPECIALLy not when they see “opioids” in our background / historical chart. Even w/ NO “SUD” diagnosis and NO notes about addiction — only clean urine tests and a perfectly followed pain contrac, prior.)

And I am NOT just spouting off. I KNOW this to be true. I have put my already medically traumatized ass on the line and even recorded many of these “visits.” Many are w/ actual PSYCHIATRISTS who I’m told should have zero issue prescribing a low dose of a stim like Ritalin for adhd, and a sleeping med that works like ambien or lunesta.

Y’all I’ve been to 13+ docs on @RedboxRx @GrowTherapy_, @lifestanceUS, and now @onemedical w/ @amazon. NONE will provide appropriate ADHD or insomnia meds — and I am on NO OTHER scheduled meds!

I have hope for this last one (@onemedical) as their doc said “no stigma here.” But then she sent me nonsense about “better sleep hygiene” after I told her there are BIOCHEM & BRAIN WAVE abnormalities that I cannot overcome w/out meds (well, “normal” for fibro, circadian rhythm disorder)!

What is UP with ALL these docs spewing woo to folks w/ serious medical issues just to save their ass from having to prescribe even a starting dose of say, Ritalin? It’s ABSURD! So much medical gaslighting!

Approximately 1/4 of them became upset, loud and belligerent, claiming the meds I should be on (w/ my official diagnoses) are themselves inherently “addictive.” This is foolish and not scientifically sound and I report these nuttier, useless ones..

This man is not an expert in pain other than the pain he causes, and torturing, disabled people, and threatening them with surveillance, for surgeries, and promotes the medical implant society.

Why is CDC's OD Prevention focusing on pain? Link to Dr. LeBaron's book : https://t.co/H4ezCwNRYN DPF Podcast with Dr. LeBaron coming Jan 28! Early version on Patreon Jan 24! After a severe painful illness, he wrote a book called "Greed to do Good: The Untold Story of CDC's Disastrous War on Opioids."
