I’ve often said, stigma is one of our biggest killers and a significant barrier to solving our public health problems. We need to get to a place where we can truly, as a nation, say that addiction is a chronic disease.
It is a chronic disease that needs to be treated with science, urgency, and compassion. Shankar Vedantam, @HiddenBrain, does a great job highlighting why social stigma is making the opioid crisis hard to confront:https://www.npr.org/2018/10/31/662009650/social-stigma-is-one-reason-the-opioid-crisis-is-hard-to-confront …
My heart goes out to the Troxell family. As a parent myself, I cannot understand the pain you are feeling right now. But I want you to know that we are doing everything we can to help the nation understand that addiction is a not a moral failing. It is a chronic disease.
I actually was first forced to endure injections in 2015 under obama.. no shots no pain meds.. pm Dr didn't care that they didn't work, they each cost 4000$ each.. pm made me pee in cup 800$.. the meds taper started in 2016 when I found out inject gave me thyroid cancer.. it's
Now 2018 I'm enduring a major surgery .thyroid is being removed due to #Cancer on Monday, yet I was informed Im being tapered again! I am #disabled.I have spinal damage, broken neck, #arthritis.. Now friggin Cancer!! I can't swallow, I'm so sick, I'm terrified.#suicideduetopain
I find it extremely odd and almost hypocritical that you all (Govt officials) speak of ending the stigma surrounding addiction, however your POLICIES are causing ppl that need Opioids for PAIN to be treatd LIKE ADDICTS. The irony would be laughable if it wasn't destroying lives.
Legitimate pain patients along with doctors are being used as a scapegoat and smoke screen to hide the real problem deadly black market #fentanyl bought and sold online while dea snopes in doctors office #opioidecrisis
I agree with you. I also think that Indivor, the maker of Suboxone, is using this problem to create a bigger market. How many #CPP r being forced onto Suboxone. Even the recent bill pushes Suboxone but leaves out Methadone. Pure Evil Indivor
