What if I decided to file a lawsuit (against ??) for the RIGHT to choose to die w/ dignity BECAUSE I am being DENIED the RIGHT to treat my severe intractable pain w/ #pain meds? Hang w/ me for a sec.. #ipp #cpps
I DON'T want to die! I also DON'T want to be forced to live a life of relentless suffering w/o pain meds. Would a #HumanRightsLawsuit help fight for our rights for adequate pain control? #PainManagement
@ACLU @acluohio
How can they legally deny me the right to die w/ dignity (& on my own terms) but they are also trying to FORCE me to LIVE the rest of my life in horrible excruciating #IntractablePain without the Rx #opioids that I needed & have taken for 19 years to function? @ACLU

I WISH that I had good news to share with you all but sadly I don't. The #palliativecare doctor said he only treats end of life or #cancer pain & I am once again thrown back in the water like nasty stinky unwanted chum.
He said that I shouldn't be removed off Rx #opioids & in his opinion the the forced wean is too aggressive. I happened to have a horrible #crps attack so he got to literally see what that looks like. It's not pretty.
WHY are patients forced to go through this much shit in order to get basic care? I 100% feel discriminated against & it isn't ok. He did say that he was going to call my doctor tomorrow & speak to them directly to see if he can convince them to keep me on or adjust my meds.

For #brainawarenessweek2020 @TIMBREgroup organised to have a public event called 'Music and Consciousness'

In the following series of tweets I'm going to highlight the cognitive processes involved in how music can be used for #painmanagement

#ScienceTwitter @ME_LabTweets
New sounds in our environment can grab our attention through the orienting response so listening to any music will help to distract your attention away from your immediate environment.
However, we know that music interventions are most effective WHEN PEOPLE CHOOSE THE MUSIC THEMSELVES. Choosing a piece of music is important because you will have specific reasons for choosing the music, which makes it easier to actively listen to and engage with.
