We act like #addiction is the worst thing that can happen to a person. It's not. Forcing people to live in constant pain is barbarism and let's be clear- there is no #recovery possible when people are dead. #ChronicPain

The winner-take-all pistols-at-dawn showdown on Rx painkillers may come sooner than we think. If the bill co-sponsored by Senators Manchin & Markey wins approval, the FDA will be forced to rescind the authorized status for products like Oxycodone & Hydrocodone. No doctor ...

To my Chronic Pain Warrior Tribe: Yes, we are always in devastating levels of endless pain. However, don't ever underestimate the things that you can do in this world. You have knowledge, skills, wisdom, integrity and all around awesomeness!

22 surgeries-my 23rd is scheduled in late November. RA has wreaked havoc on my body where it hurts to simply type this tweet. Burned & scarred back due to the overuse of heating pads. Chronic pain is debilitating-not treating w/meds & other tools is criminal. #ChronicPain

The MASSIVE MISTAKE the USA is making in healthcare is that they are maximizing addiction and shoving Buprenorphine down anyone's throat for profit and completely minimizing actual physical pain. Nothing affects a human more than constant physical pain that limits them 24/7.

Hey, Senator Joe Manchin, is this you? 👇🏼🤔 newsweek.com/joe-manchin-mi…

What does it feel like to have YOUR kind of chronic pain? In this thread, describe the reality of your pain so others get a glimpse of what pain really is like.

There's a sickening abundance of headlines of "inside America's opioid crisis" so it's hammered into the public's mind. But where the hell are the headlines that mention the extreme devastation when legit chronic pain is ignored? Where are you reporters to call out that?

Kollas, MD (he/him/his) Bill Murphy, Patient Advocate - New Hampshire Samantha Adcock Psychiatry is fraud, plain and simple. When you have the profession itself admitting it's not based on anything in reality, people should pay attention. They sat around a table and made up names for behaviors, then voted them into and/or out of the DSM. That's the truth.

Kollas, MD (he/him/his) Bill Murphy, Patient Advocate - New Hampshire Samantha Adcock This man exposes it in great detail! This is a screenshot but go to YouTube put this title in and you will get him. PCPs were sent DSM’s and a rinky-dink *checklist* to start PSYCH diagnoses in MEDICAL PATIENTS without legit psychological evaluation. It straight up FRAUD!

I find it remarkable that for centuries, prescription opioids have been the primary source of pain relief, yet now, there's a sudden assertion that they are ineffective. How do they rationalize this shift in perspective? #cpps #Propaganda #lies #RxOpioids statnews.com/2023/09/22/opi…

PROP talks about Pharma paying doctors to prescribe and then promotes this.

Shocked when I recall that I've had ME/CFS for 13 years and in all that time have never once been offered any medical help. What sort of society just ignores tens of thousands of chronically ill people? More than a political-medical failure, it's a failure of humanity.
