100 million? 1 in 3 Americans? Doubtful-sorry-I know it’s a huge issue.

In 2014, per IOM & American Academy of Pain Medicine. Also indicates the stats are underestimated. It's more prevalent than most think. It is 1/3 of our country sadly. That's why it's imperative our Administration takes notice. Pain makes up majority of pre-existing conditionspic.twitter.com/9aykTsTb5Z

Thank you for addressing this. I am also a chronic pain patient. We are tired of being treated like criminals for having a pain diagnosis, and using the one thing that gives us quality of life.

Quite welcome! Sorry you suffer as well. The truth needs to get out & many ppl don't realize how bad it is for us when we get harassed, discriminated against, stigmatized, called addicts & denied medication. They will understand when it happens 2 them or loved one.

I am sorry for you, too. We must call attention to our plight before it's too late, before we lose access to the thing that lets us have decent lives, before millions are left to suffer and huge numbers of people commit suicide because of the pain.

If only our Senators would take the time to talk to us, in detail & not blanket form letter responses. I'm frustrated at lack of concern, but will not give up the fight. If I give up, that means I'm done; gone. I have other health issues that get worse if pain not controlled.

I will be fighting right along side you! People also don't realize that chronic pain often causes other medical problems. And, that can happen to anyone, at any time.

I called your office several times begging to to acknowledge the incurable disabled are being tortured and forced to commit suicide over this kind of
#opiatehysteria. You don’t care about good citizens people born with bad genes or had bad luck. Only addicts lives matter. Shame! -
Did she ever call you back and if not why
@SenTinaSmith did you not take time to listen and have someone from ur office reach out to her? -
My own reps don’t call me back. There is no aide in the United States Capital who doesn’t know who I am. I’ve achieved nothing except giving none of them an out with plausible deniability. Only
@senatormikelee voted NO to murdering incurables, the rest signed our death warrant.

You need to focus on
#ChronicPain patients who are losing/lost their ability to support their family bc their pain is no longer managed. It's no longer managed due to overreaching policy preventing Drs from prescribing opioids. Did you include palliative care in your opioid bill?Thanks.

@germaine7676 Price gouging out of greed, while people suffer & die ‘cuz they can no longer obtain necessary & previously affordable medicines, needs to be a crime. Have you read what’s been happening with diabetics & the price of insulin? Epi-pens? Huge bonuses for pharma execs?

Will you also focus on families who have a person fighting a painful disease for which there is no cure? THIS is an ILLICIT HEROIN, FENTANYL, COCAINE, and METH CRISIS. Work on THAT!!

You and your husband held stock in Abbott Labs, CO-marketer of OxyContin. So you personally profited from the epidemic. And you profited from a large number of medical device companies that made considerable money on your investments...in some cases held offshore. Comments?

What about Chronic Pain Patients, Veterans, Elderly & Sick that are being Punished for being sick & in pain? We Are Not Drug Addicts! We are Suffering which is Cruel & Inhumane! Euthanasia would be kinder!
