Health care employees are hesistant now that the pendulum as swung so far. Makes us patients feel horrible about asking for pain medication during or even after treatment. Especially for blood cancer patients!

Please don’t swing too far, as a blood cancer patient I have already seen the stigma, and makes it difficult to get a simple script. Every thirty days it is hoop jumping and getting a prequel for insurance co and the chance of running out for a few days or paying out of pocket.

#chronicpainpatients needs a voice. No one is listening as the pendulum has already swung too far. Doctors stopped prescribing or are closing their doors. Pharmacies are denying to fill #opiod prescriptions. Please help us as our next choice is #suicidedue2pain
