        I’m a pain sufferer and would never agree tapering and government taking away medication needed and controlling every doctor prescription for pain. Pharmacies refusing to fill and denying medication for chronic pain is hell on earth. A solution is needed desperately .

        Cool cool, can we get effective opioid pain medications back or what? Are you going to fight against a decade of discrimination against people in pain? Seems unlikely.

        Exactly what is your plan to help us regain our lives, our dignity, our personal and private relationships with our health care providers?

        Are you serious? Because I'm going to die of #Bufferin overdose pretty soon, and I doubt I'll be alone. Get it together, government, you're torturing and killing people. I'd be fine on 1.5mme/day - can't even get that anymore! #YouHaveNoIdeaWhatIsReallyHappeningToUs FIX IT.

        How will you reverse the great suffering (the suicides/overdoses are done) caused by overreaching control by govt's limitation of legal pain medication? Will you stop demonizing and fear mongering, and admit the statistics related to prescribed drugs were grossly inflated?

        Now that the federal govt has taken over pain relief, and it's available in sufficient amounts only for people like @FLOTUS and @SteveScalise after your effective Prohibition, is there a phone number people who are suffering and rotting can call to get their medication back?

        lol. youve got a sense of humor but you lack the sinceritas caritas or humilitas to make pain care much different then it is. your concern isnt about people in pain but rather your epistemic communitypic.twitter.com/Y0kL5TTmCC
