It's ironic you reserve empathy for people with addictions, while chronic pain patients sit in agony through the holiday season, all because people like you want to "minimize" opioid use. Studies are out, addiction is rare in those legally prescribed, time to roll back CDC GLs.
As a society, it is important we come together to erase the #stigma around addiction and effectively communicate it is a chronic disease - not a moral failing. This holiday season share my digital postcard with your loved ones to help combat opioid misuse. #MondayMotivationpic.twitter.com/jn8PzmMOQG

100% correct. Between 8% to 12% develop an addiction to opioids (NIDA) Chronic pain patients get treated like addicts. Monthly urinalysis, count pills, no-show = discharged from Pain Management. Leaving Chronic Pain Patients with limited options, alcohol, illicit drugs, suicide

I do not respect you. And I will not respect you until you address the 23 MILLION people that had their opioid medications ripped away from them or denied to them Including cancer and hospice patients It is time for you to discuss chronic pain patients and Veterans in pain.

It’s not just opioids that we’re stripped from ppl, now that Doctors are tracked when writing prescriptions, many have just stopped writing them, I know this because it happened to me. Career corrupt politicians & these career corrupt bureaucrats are the #1 threat to our lives.

“... no correlation between opioid RX volume & non-medical use or opioid use disorder among persons age 12 & over.

Ironic since all other chronic illnesses are now viewed as a moral failing or a mental illness.

As a society, it is most important to stand up for the most vunerable of our citizens. Many of those are now denied proper treatment. Disabled, incurable, elderly, suffering and dying. Why? Because another group is abusing illegal drugs... ..and they can be rescued, we can't.

This is way too much truth and common sense for these unelected bureaucrats who keep pushing absolute BS.
