        What abt chronic pain patients who are accused of drug seeking and sent home to suffer? Is their quality of life (esp if female) irrelevant?

      I disagree. Drug lords are forcing opiates down drug dealers throats & making them sell it cheap or they r cut off from pot sales.

      How many of these prescriptions are related to the 300,000 NEW cases of Lyme each year. 70% never have a rash. Most are misdiagnosed.

      A real and unspoken tragedy of the "opioid epidemic" is the denial of life-changing medications to severe chronic pain patients.

        The goal of the CDC, and sadly most researchers/drs, seems to be treating pain patients LIKE addicts. That's what extreme govt control does.
