      1/? GM twitter! Let’s reset the discussion on pain management and opioid misuse. First, we must acknowledge/ I’ve always felt and said that we have a crisis of un and undertreated pain in the US, and it can lead to suicide, self medication w illicits, and other bad outcomes.

      2/? We also have an overdose crisis in our country. It is NOW largely fueled by fentanyl, but there traditionally have been, and still are many people who first become dependent due to opioids prescribed to them - or diverted from others to whom they were over prescribed.

      So, what is the answer for patients with intractable pain for whom alternative methods have failed? We have to do better.

          The response needs to be proportional to magnitude of crisis. The magnitude is extreme precisely because we are targeted due to fear. This is AIDS crisis of our time, it requires an equal response.... ...to return our dignity, our rights not to be judged, and our right to tx.

          If you agree you need to take action. The War on pain patients and doctors needs to end.

          If you agree, acknowledge damage in a conference, speak out AGAINST the legislation proposed by Manchin and Braun. EXPRESS YOUR PROFOUND SORROW for the DEAD. This feed is growing list of dead, killed by the #opioidhysteria you are waffling to act on.https://twitter.com/jjonestrafalgar/status/1151550003866939393?s=19 …

          1/3 @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorBraun This is Carla. She died from heart attack after being force tapered because of irrational policies such as your FDA label change. Pain does kill.

          @Surgeon_General My incurable disease cannot be 12 stepped away. I will go into a death spiral without pain and suffering control. My disease will not wait while you and our government ponder if citizens like me exist. FORGOTTEN and DISENFRANCHISED by the USA will be my COD.
