1/ When I look into what’s being said in trials against opioid mfgs, I notice something we all see the result of in the form of gaslighting in pain treatment: the brain model of addx and dependence. This strategy allows addx patients to be viewed as harmed BY the intro of meds..
It reduces stigma towards the patient and shifts it onto whoever instigated the opioid treatment. It allows MDs to blame the molecule for “hijacking” the brain, while marginalizing pain patients’ reports of efficacy.
The #PainDenialist members of PROP have continually planted seeds along the way to solidify this idea that these meds only cause harm long-term, while building a gigantic mound of junk-science to prove it.
