        There's going to be more "customers" unfortunately bc the #CDC guidelines are going to cause #CPP's who can't take the severe, non-stop #ChronicPain due to incurable diseases/injuries to try to find relief. These drug dealers/makers know this so what do you think is on their mind

        Solutions arent that complicated at all. Both addicts and Cpp need to be treated for pain. One physical one emotional. Issues beyound gentic link for addicts , complicated. What is complicated is the fear blinding people to information due to hysteria. This us vs them must change

        Siding with those abusing the meds we need that are being taken away from us because they abuse them is the reason why our cause is not being heard and action is not being taken to help us. Because helping us hurts them. That's not anti-addict mentality. It's pro-cpp.

        Thanks to Dr Adams for making the trip to Hinsdale today addressing the critical opioid epidemic. He and Peter Roskam represent all that is good with the current administrations effort to find solutions and bring awareness to our fight as parents and citizens. We need more of u!

        I must disagree with you. Though I believe, they believe theyre doing right by all. We have an illict drug/ od problem that was blamed completely on compliant doctor trusted long term pain pts. Who then had acess to meds cut off completely or cut to the bone. In addiction, cont)

        It's illegal street drugs, alcohol mixes killing people. Now they might have another 50 million "customers" if you don't stay out of our Drs offices. Then we will have a true #opioidcrisis. COMMON SENSE

        With due respect, isnt it time we treat genetic mu receptor lock/key issue with addicts? The real issue. Stop punishing cpp by taking non abusing, compliant dr trusted Rx pain relieving med away from me and millions like me? Blow away the hysteria answer is not complicated. IMHO.

        The "Understand Pain" section is complete nonsense. There WAS a problem with illicitly manufactured drugs (mainly heroin). Now govt's anti-opioid moral panic has turned it into a genocide of both addiction and pain patients.
