Pain pts don’t book MD visits, miss work & pay copays for fun because they haven’t tried the weakest thing on the shelf. By the time a pt is in a clinician’s office, they’ve already exhausted Tylenol, ibuprofen, heating pads, positive thinking, & every folk remedy.
@RachelBitecofer It's why chronic pain pts are killing themselves to find relief. Acute pain is bad enough - but it improves over time. Chronic pain that never ends and is completely disrupting to your life?? NOT OKAY! Bring back compassionate pain care!!
I have an almost identical experience. However, in my case I ended up in d ICU as a result of him randomly dropping my Pregabalin (LYRICA) dosage from 200mg 3x daily to 20mg 2x daily.
I’ve been getting it for almost 20yrs. Anyway, I asked 4a refill like any other time (no issues w/d doc at d time). So my fam just picked it up from d pharmacy. When I got it, that’s when I saw 👀 d DRASTIC change in dosage. Silly me, I thought it might’ve been a mistake. He never even discussed it with me and he refused 2 change it back.
I have several diagnoses but d medication 💊 was 4 my #Fibromyalgia . He was my Hematologist 4 #SickleCellAnemia . I went into a severe #crises (#painattack) - and #AcuteChestSyndrome.
My BONES🦴were excruciating - felt extremely fragile as though my bones were beaten throughout my body by a steal/metal bat. Not one bone didn’t hurt (fingers, toes, discs in spine - everything) . I had 2b carried into d ambulance where Iost consciousness and didn’t wake till in d #ICU (with 3 different IV’s in my left arm & 2 in d right). Then I again lost consciousness.
I mean this was a horrendous hospitalization. But one started by my own #physician and not one of d many illnesses I suffer from.
Hey, um, is this some kind of game or joke to you?
You’re playing around asking about someone’s death while on d deceased person’s account, on his obituary-like announcement post.
WHY ?
…and plz, no need for Grok or anyone else to reply for you. You’re more than capable yourself.
Yes! A family member may be d one overseeing his account now. Even though it may b staff they too are processing. It’s just all so new & raw.
So explaining on Ozzie’s social media profiles how their loved died may not be d most considerate situation 2 put them in right now. That’s all I was thinking.
Plus u can easily Google, ask Siri or AI about it.
None of d advice given by @belaski_meghan worked for me. I wish it did. I was hospitalized for 4 months and d doctors & nurses were rude, refused me d medications I needed and though I asked 4a change, I was refused (given one excuse/another). It was a very tense & unhealthy situation.
I hope d advise works 4u. If not, at least u hv staff (though behind d scenes) that r there 4u and ur loved one.
But u being there as support, a sounding board for d times Rebecca can’t take it and gets angry is d 1 thing she’ll need from u most. Talk it out or d anger builds with each passing hospitalization. That won’t b good since her health is what’s most important. It’s ok 2 let it out - get angry sometimes.
Oh FYI: There are support groups for her and for loved ones of those who have illnesses. Which can really help u both.

📊 The data never supported the panic.
Thank you, Dr. Singer, for stating it plainly:
Prescription painkillers never caused the crisis they were blamed for.
It wasn’t science.
It was scapegoating.
And the result was suffering.

In an attempt to prevent addiction, this country is traumatizing young children, which increases the risk of addiction. What do you think a four-year-old Old is going to go to the street and shoot up fentanyl? Great job Michigan Open! Your guidelines are superb.
