The Real opioid crisis: hundreds of thousands of people living with chronic pain,unable to access adequate medical care,as a result of the hysteria surrounding opioid addiction. Addiction is a separate disease. Pain kills too.

@MichaelNey19@Irishbrat1966 Then they’re not true pain patients. Pain metabolizes opioids, and if you have true chronic/intractable pain, there’s no way in hell you’re going to abuse your medication. Pain and addiction are TWO SEPARATE DISEASES. #GuidelineMeToDeath
For those who heard the first to of the series w PROP members, they put out a third podcast with @GhanaboyPharmd Please listen. He addresses some of the false narratives pushed and gives a balanced viewpoint. Please retweet!
@ravensspirit68@surgrn123 I’ve had to call so many head nurses on duty to get some sadistic nurse from grabbing my leg right where it was pressing against my shattered pelvis for example, and other things. Nurses are either heaven or hell IMO
@ravensspirit68@_Anonym0us_FL_ Creepy. And, just… why?! You don’t just toss around the name of your disease if you don’t know it intimately. He crossed the wrong patient!
@ravensspirit68@WizardPuzzle I hate ER doctors. I went in with a cracked acetabulum. Doctor said “well that’s subjective”. (?!)
I was back in 5 days with a shattered pelvis and had to go to Shock Trauma, who could only keep me from passing out. My surgeon was 4 hours away at HSS in NYC. It was mayhem.
The experience of pain is unique to us all.
It's important to note that many who have chronic illness have more than one type of pain as well, and at the same time.
There is stabbing, throbbing, aching, intermittent, burning, sharp, shooting, sickening, and cramping pain.
If we can't even change the narrative re: 'opioids' in the U.S. and provide access, how are we going to promote the truth that #OpioidsSaveLives in other countries? @diederik_lohman
The ongoing #OpioidHysteria is killing ppl.
Time to put a stop to #GreatOpioidLie.
This literally brings tears to my eyes, I had a freak but w/ viral pancreatic 20yrs ago, it was excruciating, they had me on the max dose of I.V. dilaudid. EVERY HOUR!!!!!! This is SICK & SADISTIC
@ravensspirit68 Bc of my SCI, my hip has been replaced 3x. With all of the cement that has been packed in, my injured leg is now 2” longer. I have to choose between legs to stand on, if on my good leg, it throws my body off = my scoliosis worse than the surgery that paralyzed me with the SCI.
I would tag kolodny in his post but he blocked me LOL.. More and more people are seeing how the 2016 CDC guidelines have negatively impacted patient care in pain management, but of course kolodny wouldn’t know it’s affecting patients because he doesn’t manage pain patients smh
