        That’s great there’s so much help for the 1%-8% of ppl who become addicts, but what about the 92%-99% of legitimate chronic pain pts who need opioids & are NOT addicted? They’re not getting any help! Forced tapers, cut-off, refused at the Pharmacy, MDs scared to tx them...awful!

        And what are you doing for CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS whose untreated pain levels are hurtling out of control from withholding opiate pain meds? Our DEPENDENCE is not the same as their ADDICTION. We need it to LIVE, not seeking a “HIGH”.pic.twitter.com/XVKPVWv4QA

        You are killing innocent people just trying to live, I have been up all night due to the pain, sick, feel horrible I'm sure you are having a great day, as long as your illness doesn't involve pain, you can get treatment, I really don't understand

        Do u, as a physician, realize what severe untreated/undertreated pain does 2 a body? I do! I’ve seen my BP shoot up to 174/115. It’s normally 116/65. Ppl in pain take pain meds 4 relief of pain. Addicts take them 2 get high. Yet u treat them & make us suffer?
