Maine law helped slash opioid prescriptions. Some say it also had 'a chilling effect.'

Fans did an amazing job with #TheExpanse, any chance we could work together to do the same with #Colony @ColonyUSA

[David Corkum @CorkumDavid]

No representation for #cpp of course. Maine has a long tradition of #opioidhysteria. Prescriptions have been cut 47% this past year in ME, yet ODs increase.

@Chronic_FLKeys In ME it has caused many to suffer. Before electr, pharms verified if ins pa was due prior to script date. Now they can't verify until actual date. Then goes to dr, then ins co, then pharm who isn't notified so they must keep checking. May take over a day while withdrawals start.

@Chronic_FLKeys @Deeenst Im suffering from pancreatic cancer, I get two tramadol a day for pain, it does nothing. Oregon is a nightmare for any patient with pain, regardless the cause.

[David Corkum @CorkumDavid]

#opioidhysteria I've been basically trapped in a nursing home recovering from a kidney infection.i thought these abuses were banned 40 yrs ago. Denied my own specialists, just a skype dr. All staff scoffs at my pain, cut in half. Could do more therapy if less pain.

[Laird Law PLLC @DanLairdMD]

At the end of the day, there are 50 million chronic pain patients and 5 anti-opiate crusaders. The victory of chronic pain patients over extremist zealotry is a foregone conclusion. It’s time for @supportprop and their angry little mob of misguided moralists to close up shop...

@headdock @LelenaPeacock @Enough212 @chattyknana @RepMaloney Twitter doesn't provide enough space for an adequate statement imho. Thankfully compassionate & educated drs do exist. Relating instances that occur to me shouldn't b labled "spreading hysteria". That's most, not all, of the time.I refuse to accept the appeal to authority fallacy

[David Corkum @CorkumDavid]

@LelenaPeacock @headdock @Enough212 @chattyknana @RepMaloney My lifespan is greatly reduced. Drs & nurses believe its better to die in pain because opioids are bad...and addictive. My dose of 10 years they will erroneously incapacitate me.#opioidhysteria #opioidcrisis

[Lelena @LelenaPeacock]

@headdock @Enough212 @chattyknana @RepMaloney Yes, but Peaceful has a solid point! It's tough to word it properly on twitter, but to point out that human beings use substances for various reasons as a matter of course IS a good way to put things in perspective in regards to how we're villified for ingesting meds for relief.

@So_Many_Shows After #colony #savecolony got the ax last year, I haven't watched new shows. Although, don't leave out #travelers.

♥♥⬇⬇This is one of the most heart-wrenching posts I've ever read and its AMAZING. PLEASE RT so the world knows that the lives that have been shattered due to a loved one's untreated pain matter! And how deeply the families that are left behind are affected by AK's evil. ♥♥

The actual number of addicted people per capita is the same today in the U.S., Canada and the UK as it was in 1920.

@woutgorge @painadvocateAR Guilty until proven innocent. Land of the oppressed. I'm a victim of #opioidhysteria by getting a serious kidney infection and ending up over month in nursing home makes me more of a #medicalhostage. My meds cut in half. State did random inspection this week but no help for me

[Mera @WriterMera]

Chronic Pain Patients are still waiting for their #TakeBackOurLivesDay as they struggle with extreme(understatement) pain, mental anguish from constant insomnia and the brutal stress of relentless, deliberately untreated physical pain. They continue to plead for HELP! 🙏🙏

[Mera @WriterMera]

Richard is such a brilliant man. Below is the absolute truth about AK laid bare...RT so the entire world knows the kind of monster that we are all fighting and so AK's "I'm an angel saving lives" facade shatters like glass.⬇⬇⬇
