@AdaGiudiceTomps@SenGillibrand So sorry about your son. I don't know how the pain med killed him. But there are risks with all meds. Sorry. -
@TheRotifer@SenGillibrand Thank you; his doctor prescribed him a new opioid - hydromorphone; Michael went to bed & never woke up -
@AdaGiudiceTomps@SenGillibrand Same happened w/ my fiancé. Many pain meds for cancer. But in his case, I wish he could have had more relief -
