Pain patients are getting screwed by the overdose crisis. My friend was offered suboxone for chronic pain when what she needs is morphine. If she had an SUD getting morphine wouldn't be a issue. I'll reiterate the system is failing people! #chronicpain
PRAYER REQUEST FROM A VETERAN
“Please do not release any information about me, but would you ask some to pray that God give me a reason to live?”
We are speaking life, purpose and a divine peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus Name. Amen.
I am dming him your words.
Policymakers must stop erecting roadblocks to treatment for #ChronicPain patients, including access to treatments necessary to manage pain and maintain basic functioning. Read my op-ed in @statnews. @CMSGov#Pain#PainManagement https://t.co/i5QEE9eLVI
This is NOT A PRESCRIPTION OPIOID CRISIS!
Could be another possibility? #PainKills
"Excited to present "Should there be an alternative diagnosis to #OUD among patients on LTOT for #pain? Pros, cons, and preliminary findings" next week at the @US_ASP meeting. Register to attend!"
THIS is what it means for health researchers to act in sincere partnership with the people whose lives are in the balance
Thankful to @PainPtFightBack writing today about #CSIOPIOIDs our pilot study

“Help us end the suffering of chronic pain patients”
#MedTwitter this is the risk tool being used in clinical support to decide who gets treated with pain meds, vs alternatives. We’re receiving reports of female surgical patients being deny post-op and acute in-hospital opioids based on this tool. @DEACenteredCare #ipp#pain
The covid narrative is their god.
Got cancer? Who cares. Only covid matters.
Lost your home? Who cares. Only covid matters.
Kids taken away by CPS because you can't work a job & watch them as a single mother with schools closed? Who cares. Only covid matters.

“We can no longer afford to view increasing drug-related mortality through a prescription opioid-myopic lens”
@VanilaSingh@CalSipp@ASIPP Are you getting together to figure out how to turn the screw harder so no one will be able to get pain care at all short of Bupe and Exparel?
My sincere apologies to all of those people in Venezuela who actually voted for freedom and democracy. I now know that Maduro and Dominion stole your votes and plunged you into communism just as the democrats and dominion are trying to do here in the USA.
@LeahHoustonMD Wow Dr Leah what you just said is what pain pts thought 2 until now. Those of us who arent pill chasing & really suffer all thought if we were good pts & did as we were asked like take meds right, do UAs & pill counts we would have pain meds & be able 2 live. We were wrong
“Please do not look to this talk for medical advice.” TEDx has put a patient advisory on the nonsense spewed out by notorious #painbully, Anna Lembke, MD. To this hateful ignorant woman, “healers are dealers” and Chronic Pain Patients are conniving malingering ne’re-do-wells.
When will it ever stop. The DEA are not MDs and all this is going to do is inflate numbers of prescriptions which they will then use as a reason to go harder after all of us. Dr writes you a 30 day Rx and you can only get part of it
“isolation, lack of access to basic services, food/ medicine (including pain medicine?), enhanced risk of violence against women/girls w/ disabilities & homelessness. It had a disproportionate impact on women/ girls w/ disabilities/ older persons w/ disabilities." #DisabilityDay
Gave a 99 yr old woman Suboxone instead of Vicodin and she died. Johnstown doctor charged with involuntary manslaughter after fatal overdose, report says https://t.co/CmBaf22IfM
