I'd like to explain why #PainPatients & the #disability community is having a VERY difficult time w/this suite of articles about #ChronicPain.
I did find a more balanced view in some of the articles, & that's a good start for journos covering #ChronicPain. Sadly, it isn't enough.

For the past 7 years, #PainPatients have endured the draconian shift in #healthcare & attitudes toward pain & disability.
Countless patients lost their meds.
Many patients lost their doctors.
Some patients lost their jobs, their spouses, even their children.
Some of us died.🥺

In 2016, the #CDC unleashed their #Guidelines for prescribing #opioids for #ChronicPain.
The guidelines were adopted as a mandate in Rxing & the #StandardOfCare across the board.
Overnight, #PainPatients became a glaring liability for all doctors, & the consequences are harsh.
