With all due respect Surgeon General, why is there not a parent/relative that has lost a loved one due to being denied opioid pain medicines? There are millions of Americans being affected because pain medication has been demonized. Please do the right thing and include them.
So pleased to introduce this great group of advocates (a young lady w chronic colitis, an oral surgeon, a mom who lost her son to overdose, and an substance misuse educator) to @HHS_ASH to discuss making alternatives to opioids more readily available to patients!pic.twitter.com/1DhDsd3sLb

How about let's keep what works for 99% of the chronic pain community? How about stopping the forced tapers that ate leading to suicides & ppl being forced to the streets? How about solving the real issue of illegal fenytnl coming over the border? Need more?

Chronic pain patients already use many of these alternatives in addition to their pain medicine because, for many of us, these alternatives alone don’t give us the necessary functionality. Long-term use of opioids under the care of a physician is safe and effective.
