  The guidelines are all about how to take away. How to not treat patients with opioids. For me opioids benefits greatly outweigh anything else. Where’s the guideline for the doctor on how to treat me? Tapering is not an option for how much pain I’m in. Needs to stop.

  7am this morning I was in tears in pain on the cdc website looking for help on how to treat long term chronic pain patients. Nothing absolutely inhumane how we are being treated. Opioids are the only thing that works for me. Tapered again. Currently in so much pain. No one cares

  So are you sending these nifty “e-cards” out for Alcohol use, Tylenol, Ibuprofen use as well, or no? I didn’t think so. STOP THE FEAR MONGERING. How do you NOT UNDERSTAND that some individuals CANNOT get PRESCRIBED pain medication because of this barbaric oversight? #cpp #stigma

  You do realize that back when all those "alternatives" (are they really when they aren't as effective?) like yoga and accupuncture were mainstay treatments, most people like those who have been kept alive by modern medicine kind of, y'know, just died. Or is that the entire point?
