What was a painful procedure/surgery you have endured in the hopes of relief? It only lasted one day but, I forgot how fiercely the pain throbs the day after epidural injections. Sharp stabs have pierced my back, where fiery nerves now crackle with rage, and my spinal sac swells

TLChronicPain Sassy Devil Dog 🔥 I have inflammation but can’t take NSAIDs. So steroids would be appropriate. Is requesting steroids “drug seeking behavior?” In 30 years as a respiratory therapist, I saw what long term use could do, more often than most MDs. A dose pack 2-3 times a year will not cause problems.

Why won't HHS.gov Secretary Kennedy respond to our request for review mailed in April 2025? Why won't they examine the scientific EVIDENCE that refutes every false narrative that the govt continues to perpetrate about "prescription opioid medications?". Why are they unconcerned about

Opioids are among the safest medicines ever approved by FDA. Safer than tylenol, safer than advil/ibuprofen. So we know opioids are very safe taken as rx. Which other medicines actually relieve pain? (hint there are none).

Many people aren't homeless because they're using drugs, they're using drugs because they're homeless .... You would probably use them too, it's a distraction from a mentally and physically punishing condition.

1/ the way 70H fell suddenly on the radars of millions who until one recent day had never even heard of it. Now we’re being told it needs to be eliminated from society. Now I wonder if Rx pain meds (rebranded “opioids”) met w/ the same rush to trial & kangaroo court years ago

2/ … Recall that synthetic morphine tablets had been the standard of care for managing moderate to severe pain for decades in pill form & for thousands of years in plant form. With no fuss from the genpop or from the mainstream medical community. And there were no alternatives

3/ … then and there are none today. Exparel & Journax are woefully inadequate. We have proof of significant physiological distress during acetaminophen only surgery. Suboxone & buprenorphine treat addiction - NOT PAIN. Morphine is inexpensive (even without insurance) …

6/ … One stratagem that fostered this public perception is the link to heroin. Kolodny’s pet nickname for Rx pain meds as “heroin light.” And then after illicit fentanyl hit the Streets the Gov reinforced the link to Rx pain meds as “fentanyl light.” But recall how fentanyl…
