I read a lot of research on chronic pain, pain medicine, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, addiction, healthcare, and numerous other topics. He/him #BLM

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

Using the internal logic of this term, suggests that anyone using a long term med must have a "use disorder"
e.g.
Pt wants to return to SSRI to treat symptoms after being taken off the med... must have a "use disorder"

I really want to highlight this very dangerous term (conjured up and will ONLY do patients more harm, in my opinion). CPOD. This is an abomination.

Children with sickle cell disease who were given #opioids for an acute pain crisis showed no signs of misusing or becoming addicted to opioids long-term, according to a new study. #cpp #chronicpain https://t.co/MSeK07yZxx

[Pain News Network @PainNewsNetwork]

Rx #opioids were detected in only 8% of the urine samples that test positive for #fentanyl – far less than stimulants, cocaine and other substances. In fact, you are about 2x as likely to find two other medications -- benzodiazepines and gabapentin. #cpp https://t.co/IyyIwyYb9d

@TheEdVerse How did Mhzentul make his ring of scribes that provides immunity to harmful writing effects like Glyph of Warding and the like? How hard would it be for an enterprising level 20 wizard to reproduce?

[Stefan Kertesz, MD, MSc @StefanKertesz]

If you know family members or survivors of a Veteran lost by suicide after prescription opioid reduction or stoppage,

let them know there is a formal research study. We are interviewing survivors to prevent these tragedies

@life_is_art___ Where are their citations for these thoroughly inhumane ideas that contradict the evidence? They're conspicuously absent.

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@waltermasterson That's very funny. This made me smile. ❤️

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@adfurlan @WHO I'm a bit astounded by how much worse this guideline is than the one they published in the early 2000s. Jeez. By saying something shouldn't be part of routine care they're saying that it's abnormal if somebody requires opioids. None of the routine stuff has the a rating... sketch

@tenthmatrix01 @mikemearls This spell (copy) is... flabbergastingly bonkers. One wizard having it, even if it were a 5th level spell gives them an indescribablely huge geopolitical advantage. Include at your own peril. It has huge worldbuilding implications.

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@headdock @purplemamabear Statistics cannot say much about the direction of causality, and in this way can lead to faulty conclusion without proper knowledge of contextual and systemic influences in situations. The absence of disabled people in the medical profession is one of these cases.

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@headdock @purplemamabear Yeah, what @purplemamabear said about doing everything right and still becoming disabled is quite accurate.

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@headdock @FERProgram @purplemamabear @MelanieNoel @katebirnie @DrCChambers Indeed it is a fascinating and good read :D 😀

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@headdock @purplemamabear I respectfully disagree right back, in Kansas, there are no pain studies programs. In terms of medical programs, yes they are there, but the medical profession is utterly inaccessible to disabled people. The dearth of disabled doctors is due to the lack of accommodation.

[Maxx Lamb @maxx_lamb]

@headdock @purplemamabear Not disagreeing, just throwing out there that there's also not academic infrastructure for the study of pain in most large universities, & this prevents disabled people (who have a vested interest in pain, and are likely to study it) from doing so when combined w/ other barriers.

3/Stories of suicide are not typically impulsive acts, but actions that reflect a lot of consideration for someone bearing up with extraordinary pain.

A powerful intro to the #988CrisisTalk learning community is this video featuring @davidwcovington https://t.co/06onV2IfV9

5/I hope m Michigan journalists ask who drafted this statement.

✅Every time we invoke a tragedy that has befallen people who died by overdose, or whose addiction devastated a family, I urge all of us to scrutinize who is seeking financial advantage, and how.

[Allyson Varley, PhD @AllysonVarley]

We are still recruiting survivors of #suicideloss to participate in #CSIOpioids. If you have lost someone with pain to suicide, please consider taking our brief screening survey: https://t.co/30I2DYkEuN @StefanKertesz @PainPtFightBack @MeganMc_MedAnth
