        Tell me Sir, how Carla's death days ago saved one person battling addiction! Tell her family, her grandchildren, her husband, & fellow CPPs how the needless suffering & death of even one pain patient is even remotely ethical or acceptable. HER STORY MATTERS! HER LIFE MATTEREDpic.twitter.com/Mx4Lg2J0kR

        Nothing you post, say, print or otherwise distribute should be taken seriously until you stop allowing the use of #Gadolinium in MRI contrast that has disabled me & now my daughter too! It is NOT just the folks w/compromised kidneys as you said, it is healthy people too! Stop it!

        More die due to ETOH related issues than RXd opioids & illicit opioids combined. If you & other agencies in GOV don't think we in the chronic pain community will not shine a light on the blatant HYPOCRISY & LIES you're mistaken.🤨 #OPIOIDHYSTERIA is killing ppl! #PainIsOurPrisonpic.twitter.com/TbXyRRrxC7

        The biggest step you can take is stopping illegal fentanyl from entering the country. It’s NOT doctors and sick patients although they have been sentenced to a life of torture and pain for the crimes of others. Drug cartels are thriving while the sick are dying.

        Politicians Talk About IT! #CPP R Responsible & We Definitely Understand Pain, DO YOU? Know Addiction/NOT Dependence. Be Prepared #CPP for CDC/DEA/FBI to strip you of UR life & UR ability to battle against Chronic Pain due to #OpioidHysteria. Give us a break, not the addicts.

        Nothing more powerful than empowered & informed pts who advocate against over reaching draconian healthcare policy/ propaganda-demand 4 public transparency acknowledging real threat/ culprit for OD are illegal street sourced Fentanyl/Heroin- not prescribed pain medication!

        What "opiod" crisis. There is legal PAIN RELIEF MEDICINE, that SHOULD be prescribed for severe pain, then there is ILLEGAL FENTANYL AND HEROIN, that addicts use to get high. TWO different classes of drugs.
