@ThomasKlineMD Methadone has been the one thing that gave me a quality of life back and pain relief without it effecting my ambition to do things. Until they docked (CDC) 90% of my 3x daily dose to less than 2/3 of one dose for entire day…now it’s meh 🫤 I hurt but get a few hrs relief n am
@CarolynColson@CMerandi Was gonna say this, Vedic scripts speak of poppy alkaloids such as morphine, codeine & thebaine thousands of years ago, which r natural opiates, from which opioids r derived. Our pains r what others would not be able to imagine or fathom functioning daily in. Drop the stigma
@APainPrincess My old pain psych dr called me a master of disguise when it came to hiding my pain, but we all have tells, & someone paying attention can see otherwise. I hate that I hide it so well, only ever cried handful of times as an adult, but the feeling always there from constant pain…
@jmkillingnyc@Deeenst@US_Pain Either way it still hurts, however u view it, it’s a physical manifestation, not of the mind. Wish everyone could live a year of severe intractable chronic pain that believes this bs, then tell me you can will it away with good thoughts. My spine w/hardware say otherwise.
@DocBearOMD@fightpaindaily Imagine that. But unfortunately the propaganda and lies have infected all of pain management and medicine and destroyed so many lives,families and jobs that u cannot reverse it easily at all or fix the damage
@CMerandi@AvengingAnnieRI More PROPaganda. It may help some, or you to disassociate from the pain, but I agree it doesn’t help, only made mine worse. Everyone different that’s why rx opioids are a must option/alternative
@CMerandi Some of us it actually makes pain worse and makes me sick, now hemp/thc less preparations help w inflammation and anxiety, but not pain, at least for me. My rx pain meds r what helps and 23 years of all treatments proves that. Think I may be allergic to thc.
@purplemamabear@Deeenst They should be required to have simulated chronic pain through tens type unit for at least 6-12 months during med school that elevates and changes in intensity, just to get on the level with what we suffer. And during that time their treatment is what they’d offer patients.
@purplemamabear@Deeenst Shitty that these same drs that deny us our treatment of pain, will get opioids should they need them. But I honestly hope it backfires on every one that denied, reduced, or cut off legitimate pain patients of their stables rx pain medicine regimens.
@CMerandi Can’t deny the truth, their #’s are lies, since 2010 it’s all been bs, illicit fentanyl is the problem. Rx opioids save lives, many more than they destroy. Especially for intractable pain patients. We are all one accident away from a lifetime of hell and suffering if no change
@I_see_no_smiles@MAVERIC68078049 Sky ice, looks similar to that found only in Antarctica. So if indeed there is a firmament and beings/entities come down from above, could be possible
@Katamac1967@ThomasKlineMD My first fusion had shit pain control and took a week in hospital, 2nd amazing pain control, I stayed 2 nights and was able to work part time within 3. Was much quicker recovery
@Pharmaciststeve@PACRiseUp Funny that they treat oud/addiction often with types of opioids but aren’t worried about these issues so much with them, and rx freely at whatever dose necessary, everything is backwards now.
@Pharmaciststeve@PACRiseUp Only problem is the overdose issue now is illicit fentanyl poisoning not so much rx opioids. Def drank the coolaid, use the real data & oih is a white unicorn, very rare smh
