We lose three Hoosiers a day to opioid overdose, and this crisis begins at the prescription pad. Addressing this epidemic shouldn’t be a partisan issue, and I’m glad to team up with @Sen_JoeManchin to reform how FDA approves and labels opioid drugs to protect Hoosier patients.https://twitter.com/Sen_JoeManchin/status/1149386655914180608 …
1\ CDC, DEA, & DOJ are in agreement we're in the 3rd wave of the adxn crisis & it's fueled by illicit #fentanyl & heroin now. Rxes are already down (falling for yrs) & ODs keep rising. This bill will cause unimaginable suffering among US citizens w/#chronicillness & #disability.pic.twitter.com/I3AlFtZYdr
2\ This initiative will negatively affect law-abiding U.S. citizens w/rare & unimaginably painful diseases. If you want to target the #opioidcrisis, target black-market #fentanyl & heroin pouring in thru our borders. The prescription pad is not driving this crisis any longer.pic.twitter.com/RVVcAFsbAK
Overdose deaths are tragedies. It’s a tragedy when a pain patient has to suffer bc they no longer have access to needed meds. It’s an even greater tragedy if they lose their life. Many commit suicide, pain is too much. 34 days of wd & Mr. Lackey died for heart attack
This article discusses Mr. Lackey’s tragic death from a heart attack after 34 days of agonizing withdrawal. https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1705026001?__twitter_impression=true …
You should ask your staffers how many of us called today. He was clearly overwhelmed and slightly irritated when we called BS on his stats and reminded him there are 2 sides to every story. I would like to speak 2 you both, our org has over 6000 members, many in your districts!
And we'll keep calling!
OD deaths are from illicit drugs, and almost all polypharmacy. A huge percentage involve alcohol. Restrictions on prescriptions will leave millions of #chronicpain patients without effective medication. #opioidhysteria #PainPatientsVote #StopConflation of #pain and #addiction
Senator Braun you are misinformed. This bill is a solution looking for a problem. It is also framing a problem that does not exist and interferes with the practice of effective medicine for chronically I'll persons with no other solutions.
But it’s ok 4 medically diagnosed pain patients 2 end our suffering by suicide. Look at those #’s. Our government is disturbed mentally 2 think only about 1 side of this. U r cruel human beings. Denying the disabled med. that gives us some life. I lost a loved 1 to addiction too.
But he chose his path. I did not choose this path I’m on of surviving daily. Addicts unfortunately take drugs to escape life. We take medication to have a life. Get the difference straight for Gods sake. Stop our suffering!
