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.

Thank you sir for putting this out there! Most CPPs understand opioid sparing w/o
pain is a good thing, although our anger shows 1st!
Many of us have lost nearly everything b/c of this hysteria.
I would

stigma & shame we feel just from needing pain meds! -
Thank you for polite response to SG. Yes we are angry. I am a survivor of HIV and cancer. I now can't manage pain or take your
@tylenol. Millions DID have care, LOST IT, due to LAW, enacted based on LIES. Many dead, more each day. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, then let's discuss. - 3 more replies

Con't. Most of all, don't generalize pain for specific conditions, procedures. There will be many exceptions to your consensus. When you generalize, the exceptions are perceived as "drug seeking" or with OUD. Take a lesson from Univ. of Mich Hospital ER.'s destigma campaign...

This is important. If a study shows that opioids don't work for 75% of fibromyalgia patients, we see everyone screaming, NO OPIOIDS FOR FIBRO!!! Meanwhile that 25% that they did work for are forgotten and left to suffer. We need INDIVIDUALIZED treatment.

This is big government bs. Read the oncologist whose patient couldn't get a fill because the Walgreens pharmacist said no. Right now, on your watch, it's pain patients who are suffering. Addicts are not suffering. We are. This is on the Trump administration. Period.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

One problem is as CPPs, we don’t trust the government making the rules for pain care. After those horrid guidelines, and the CDC has let hundreds suffer and die before clarifying them, and it hasn’t helped CPPs getting their meds back. We need action NOW.

We need you and all of your government official friends to help pain patients get their medications back before more people die. This is happening on your watch. Let our doctors take care of us. I don’t think worrying about dental procedure pain mgt is a priority.

2/ $$$, so why not give pts. an incentive for what is not used. This way there would be less "drugs" on the street, and patients who need them for longer periods/life as w/
#ChronicPain could get what they need. And tell the DEA they cannot practice medicine, let Drs. do that! -
That really could work!

He is GUILTY of continually allowing the FDA/CDC/DEA to persecute LEGITIMATE, LEARNED Pain Specialists and Clinics. He continues to adhere to the CDC opiod prescribing "guidelines," which by their own admission is based on faulty inaccurate data and half-truths, thereby forcing..

Hey
@DiaWall@41actionnews@AGEricSchmitt When will Missouri start leading the way out of federally sanctioned torture of pain patients, veterans, accident victims, when? Start protecting our doctors, tell the FEDs to jump in a deep lake, maybe show em Devil's Icebox...
