        The chronic pain community has been trying to say that since this whole #opioidhysteria has came in to place. No one really wanted to hear our side of OUR stories. They give quality of life to many of us. Please share the intractable pain patients stories and make it right

        The Govt has known this they have just been lying to the media because the people who spear headed this called PROP were friends with the old CDC director. FOLLOW THE MONEY PLEASE these policies are killing chronically diseased pain pts and addicts alike it is a genocide

        @CBSNews...We pain patients desperately need the correct reporting of what is going on here. PLEASE, PLEASE...We are dying daily and the numbers are rising. We cannot even get a conversation going with Andrew Kolodny or Jeff Sessions to hear our reality.

        this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. the number of deaths will continue to go up as prescriptions are cut; more IV drug users will emerge. it’s sad that the problem is being so poorly managed/addressed.

        There’s no fentanyl in legal Px narcotics. These are “laced” counterfeits. Dr has nothing to do with this.

        Ppl are dying from illicit fentanyl analogs created in a lab & shipped in from China. Ever seen a fentanyl pill? No - Rx are patches, spray, or pops. Look up carfentanil & other analogs - that is what is killing ppl. Those analogs are not available by Rx. Stop blaming doctors!

        Oh, really? That's interesting, since Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that's similar to morphine. In other words, Fentanyl IS a painkiller, and you can only get it, legally, via prescription.

        This is not prescription Fentanyl. This is illicit Fentanyl. Sorry @CBSNews uses the wrong word. People are dying from ILLICIT FENTANYL. This is not the same product you get from the doctor. It is made in China and Mexico and shipped here.

        No problem. The media and government want people to believe this is a prescription drug problem, while people in chronic pain continue to have theirs meds cut or taken away completely. It is all media hype, yet we suffer the consequences

        This is true. I, too, suffer from chronic pain, but I refuse to take prescription meds for it, as I *know* I'll get hooked. Been there, done that already to an extent in my life, and don't want to slide back into that again.
