@DanLairdMD @SenatorBraun this Senator should be ashamed to keep up the lie cdc already admitted had nothing to do with pain meds....pain patients are dying, suffering, abandoned and more
@Surgeon_General patients that benefit from pain meds are not getting them and if they are they are being mistreated by the doc prescribing cause doc don't want to treat them
@Surgeon_General no CDC own data says legal prescribing did NOT contribute to illegal overdose crisis. Pain patients all over the country are being treated like criminals and addicts
@cmoHHS What is to look for? We have suffered for years! We need help YESTERDAY!!!!!
Give us back our safe effective opiate medication!!

@cmoHHS 5-8 million harmed — 85% confidence 5 small studies Unknown numbers dead from suicide after treatment removal without consent. Imagine a federal report leading directly to deaths by violent means (no meds). Just think. The heinous nature of this has yet to hit.

To a person struggling with addiction, a bottle of opioid pills represents a chance to get high. BUT To a person battling chronic pain, this bottle of opioid pills represents a chance of a good quality of life because physical pain is treated. Time to draw the line in the sand.
