        You've already initiated a genocide that will harm millions. Get govt OUT of the doctor's office and pharmacy. Stop the DEA/state AG's from threatening legal drug makers/doctors. Stop conflating pain with addiction, and addiction with overdoses. Leave people alone. @FLSenate

        Thank you Lee perfectly stated. They're killing people in pain. We can all see what's happening. Too bad I can't get others to believe. They will, just a matter of time. They're going to be in pain, find out what we're saying is true

        Every healthy person I know believes this is happening because I’m not the only afflicted person they know. They all have a relative or friend being denied necessary pain relief. People are disgusting and getting angry. @SecAzar @SGottliebFDA doubling down on lie will haunt them.

        It is outrageous and disgusts me deeply. I don't know what it's going to take to get them to realize that this is real, we are suffering and yoga and mindfulness aren't going to be a suitable replacement for our pain medication for our painful diseases

        I would like to know how I am supposed to meditate away chronic pancreatitis? Can someone please explain how this is medically possible? I would LOVE to know how to do this!! Dangling these idiotic theories in front of desperate people and gaslighting them is barbaric!

        Idiots. I guess we are just “catastrophizing” our pain, right, MB? Oh, and I love the new ideas for medication boxes for #cpp. They are lockboxes with time release. We can only get our dose on time🙄 Because we are a bunch of drug abusers. God forbid we throw up a dose.

        Something NONE of the “experts” understand. Besides the fact that overprescribing has been •thoroughly• debunked, some of us have extremely complex incurable diseases that don’t FIT rigorous medication dosing regimes. Our physicians understand that. YOU don’t. #opioidcrisis

        We have a plan for that type of event that makes it hard to deny us. I missed this because a family members birthday. Next time we'll tag in the chat communities & a couple of celebs, orgs & chat mods. We can also plan an answer event, maybe get some press coverage.

        Hey @SecAzar, did you forget to tell @NIHDirector & @HHS_ASH about this Twitter chat you invited America to? I guess we got stood up. No big deal, we’re already suffering pain & we’re used to stigma & discrimination, thx to you. What’s one more F’u to #PainPatients? #ShareOurPain

        I thought this talk was going to focus on pain. People who were stable on pain meds for disease, surgical errors, cancer even hospice are being denied pain relief. If you're going to talk addiction, don't say it will be about pain! #shareourpain @Shasta77777

        No notice, people getting ready for high holiday, one random hour, thanks for nothing. We know you’re planning on exterminating us. We’re physically afflicted not mentally challenged. We’re suffering from nightmare real diseases, were medically savvy and know you CDC DEA FDA lie.
