#PainGang #RahRahRah to @OldHeadFighta & NH Pain Collaborative for their BIG WIN in getting protections for pain patients & prescribers into state law. I'll put a sample letter together so folks can lobby their state lawmakers using the NH bill as a model.
NEW NH bill "requires doctors/pharmacists to consider the 'individualized needs' of pain patients, treat them with dignity, and ensure that they are 'not unduly denied the medications needed to treat their conditions.'" #cpp #opioids painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2020/8…
Don't miss article above about new NH law. Spread the word. There's finally some #GoodNews. @PROPkills @ravensspirit68 @JSG_54 @hope411adcock @LelenaPeacock @speakingabtpain @StefanKertesz @PainPtFightBack @amylorrainelong @CIAAG_Lauren @Tootwisted40 @fightpaindaily @StopBadDocs
.@canada_pain @NitaGhei & I direct @headsUPmigraine. I think your report is the most successful thing I've seen patient advocates do in response to rx limits. I would love to know more. I've been home w/ daily migraine for 15 yrs, so I work REALLY slowly. No rush in reply needed!
I've been a p/t Canadian since '03, but my advocacy is focused in the States. Nita & I are both academics & we're writing a paper to ground our advocacy in peer-reviewed research. I think we need stats to answer stats, since saying "This policy is killing people" hasn't worked.
What survey platform did you use? Did it cost you a lot of loonies? Did you use the same 1 for your Covid & CP surveys? If we did a US CP survey, could we use yours as a basis? We would credit you, of course, & direct any press or legislative attention we got to your work too.
