        US: too much opioids; W Europe about right; many places nearly none. Lack of pain relief is a global injustice. http://www.thelancet.com/commissions/palliative-care …pic.twitter.com/mAcCVncuTH

        That is tragic. I endured suicide-level pain for 3+ years because I had a bit of relief from opioids. Grateful. PS-quit w/no problem at all.

        I agree but ultimate unit of analysis is patients, some in the US now due to our pendulum swing. My Slate piece::http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2017/08/cutting_down_on_opioids_has_made_life_miserable_for_chronic_pain_patients.html …

        Many patients in the US are committing #SuicideDue2Pain in alarming numbers d/t being forced off stable treatments. Thanks to PROP & CDC

        After my mum died I handed in unopened MST to pharmacy who said they had to destroy them. Why not send to countries who need them?

        So we need more opioids? So that pharmacy companies make more money, more addiction and then more spending to regulate its use!!!

        Why does our country burn TONS of these meds instead of getting the overprescribed meds to needy countries? Has to be a better solution...
