I lost my mother unexpectedly in 2021 after 2 months following an aneurysm. Those 2 month's of 24/7 care/contact are a gift to my mother and myself. I'm definitely still grieving. In the final review it was a gift we gave to each other.
Whether your mother was your best friend or someone you struggled to relate to, her death is likely to affect you profoundly. Here's how to begin to cope. https://t.co/8KZZmTpITB
People have used this rhetoric against opioids.
It's bad because it reenforces prohibitions and prohibitions are coercion and oppression.
Remember: Rich people use drugs. Typically they use *more drugs* than poor people because they have more money.
🚨Think progress is irreversible?🚨 Think again. Here's a glimpse of women in Iran during the 1970s — a stark reminder that rights can be won, but they can also be lost.

@justin_garson In my case the person I had planned to grow into simply did not come to pass. Now mental self is upside down. Intractable Pain patients aren't "feeling pain" and suggestions that I wanted ANY OF THESE CRAP POINTS IN MY LIFE TO BEGIN OR NOT END is gaslighting beyond the pale. TY
“Know that when they complain…it’s because their pain level is probably through the roof. Most people (inc. myself), won’t complain about how tired we are or how much #pain we’re in until it’s more than our threshold.” https://t.co/rcH7Tj7elO #ChronicPain#ChronicIllness
When people become sick, any promise of a cure is beguiling.
Common sense and the demand for evidence are easily supplanted by false hope.
In this vulnerable state, the need for critical appraisal of treatment options is more—rather than less—necessary.
