I’m so mad that doctors and companies are taking away remote access. They finally offer accommodations, and then they take them away. First, the pandemic isn’t over. Second, why is it so hard to offer them all time? They are the most helpful accommodations for me.

Please read through this important thread. I’ll be coming out with more info to add about #Klobuchar and her ties to Rummler and PROP, as well as evidence she took actions she admitted would result in rx opioid and OUD pts being forced to use illicit drugs.

The precedent set in Roe v Wade is not just about abortion rights.
It is about medical freedom.
Overturning it will have a chilling affect medical freedom in general. 1/2
Wish we could get stuff like this covered by insurance.
It could really help ppl like me with tmj disorder (or other types of jaw pain/dysfunction).

There were a record 100,000 overdose deaths last year. But the culprits are not the Sacklers or big pharma: opioid prescribing declined by 60 percent since its 2011 peak. The problem is a toxic drug supply one user told @ZachWritesStuff is "pure hell." 1/2 newrepublic.com/article/1645…

Most medically trained long-haulers I interviewed were shocked at how quick their own peers were to disregard their medical expertise and tell them their symptoms were in their heads. Their status as patients completely subsumed their qualifications. 2/

2) so now this 67 yr old man, who takes a schedule 3 controlled substance, is not only abandoned by pain dr due to DEA, but now is medically abandoned by his PCP. Why? All on the name of the “opioid crisis.” Great job @CDCInjury and @supportprop You should be proud.

Interesting. Doc called me & said she’s discharging me cuz they can’t manage my pain. Yet I’m here for my heart.
We’re not redoing any tests since you got them done in May. The daughter and I got phone calls from both docs at the same time.

With 100,000 dead from drug overdoses from April 2020-April 2021 isn't it time for a new approach?

I'd like to explain why #PainPatients & the #disability community is having a VERY difficult time w/this suite of articles about #ChronicPain.
I did find a more balanced view in some of the articles, & that's a good start for journos covering #ChronicPain. Sadly, it isn't enough.
I am proud to announce a labor of love, a 6-piece package on how to break the cycle of chronic pain. HUGE congratulations to the writers who worked so hard on this. @David_Dobbs @camonthecoast @junodemelo @sushmaaaaaaaa @KariWrites @GretchenReynold

People who don’t want pain patients on opioids:
Cool, let us know when you have something better that we can access (tested/approved for each condition you say it will work for and is affordable/covered by insurance).
We shouldn’t have to suffer in the interim. 1/3
And I don’t mean tested against just a placebo. I want data showing it’s as good or better than opioids.
Say an opioid reduces our pain by half, and the other treatment reduces it by 10%, it’s not a replacement. Supplement perhaps, but not a replacement. 2/3
The paper found, “53% of successfully tapered [from opioids] patients and 42% of those transitioned onto buprenorphine reported elevated pain.”
And this is not *incredibly concerning* to the authors?
