There is a difference between nightmares which come during our sleep and nightmares which happen while we live them in our daily lives.
Although they are both better avoided the first is unpleasant but the second can be deadly.
Pain patients who are cruelly and inhumanely

denied adequate palliative care very often in the form of safe, most effective #OpioidRxs live a nightmare of unrelieved chronic, severe pain in their daily lives which can totally disable them or end their life with one of many complications caused by under or untreated, severe
chronic or acute pain.
Why must the nightmares of pain patients continue? To ensure the profits to the #DEA, #CDC, or #PROP? To pacify #AntiOpioidRxFanatics?
I do believe that no one from either of these groups will be totally disabled or killed if we stop killing pain patients

The war against opioid Rxs and pain patients is all about $$$. Nothing can compete with opioid rxs to safely or more effectively treat severe pain short or long term for 40 plus years.

Within months of being force tapered off of #OpioidRxs he died.
The #DEA’S efforts to make #OpioidRxs disappear shift all of that money to alternate treatments which are mostly ineffective or to #Cartels who sell their version of pain meds on the street.

The #WarOnOpioidRxs has nothing to do with saving lives. As the supply of safe pharmaceutical pain meds dries up OD’s skyrocket because the #Cartel’s pain meds are laced with illegal fentanyl.
But those not yet killed by the #Cartels will desperately spend their healthcare

Not only does denying terminal cancer patients adequate #OpioidRxs to control their severe or intractable pain cause them to suffer indescribably and agonizingly: it ends their lives even sooner.
As if that were not cruel and inhumane enough: taking much needed #OpioidRxs

Cruelly taking away much needed #OpioidRxs from people who are disabled by constant severe, intractable pain makes many of these human beings terminal: they will take their own lives or die in agony from complications of untreated severe pain. Yet the #CDC, #DEA, #PROP Cartel
Yesterday I took my #OpioidRxs to allow myself to sit among a family at a member owned grocery store. To the others it was a nice, family gathering, but to me it was extraordinary.
I was actually there, sitting, talking without pain curling me up into a ball. The sad part

The sad part is that millions of other pain patients would be capable of something just as ordinary and rewarding if #PROPaganda, the #CDC, and the #DEA had not conspired to deny them of much needed, safe and very effective pain meds.
But my meds are gone, and now I will pay

There is a very simple way to prove that #CPP & #IPP are NOT addicted to our #OpioidRxs. All that needs to be done is to cure our pain. When our pain is cured no one will need to taper us. We would do our own record breaking taper because we are not addicted to our Rx’s.
When our pain is gone we much prefer a drug free life, and we are absolutely not addicted to our pain. Will you accept this challenge Dr Kolodny? Cure our pain if you are that skillful as a doctor then just watch us run from drugs. Try saving us instead of killing us. Until then
Talked with a lady this evening whose doctor had exposed her to such intense #PROPaganda that she had been conditioned to believe that taking #OpioidRxs automatically made her an addict. In order to please her Dr she took herself off of #OpioidRxs when she was in severe pain.
Since she stopped taking pain meds she is barely able to move. Her inability to tolerate the pain from exercise has made her very frail which resulted in many falls and injuries leading to more pain and less activity. I explained to her that taking pain meds does NOT make her an
I explained that taking pain meds does NOT make her an addict. In fact an addict keeps doing the drug which harms them, but a pain patient takes a pain med which returns their #QOL and strength, but I asked her to consider her situation in this way:
