#Pain advocates: Who's in #WashingtonState? Katamac's mom was cut off & needs help. @JessicaMulein?
Kat: Get someone on the phone. I'm going to send you a report that lays out the very real risk your mom's in. suicide.org/hotlines/washi…
I'd call the hotlines & say that suicide is a known patient outcome from stopping opioids & that FDA says doctors should let the patient go at her own speed on tapers. docs.google.com/document/d/e/2…
She needs to get back on her med f/t but I'd start w/ She needs a med ASAP, this is a medical emergency b/c it's harder to say no to that. You should also send an email to the Gov & fill out this contact form: doh.wa.gov/LicensesPermit…
Write the same short note to each: use what you tweeted. It does't have to be long & probably better if it's not. The complaint is that the doctor isn't following the FDA guidelines for discontinuing opioids & your mother's at a high suicide risk because of it. What can they do?
I'd post it here too: doh.wa.gov/AboutUs/Contac…
Tell your mom I get it 100% but to hang in at least until you knock on every virtual door you can. She needs to stay alive forever, but you might have better luck with a short-term deal til she gets stable again. F the bastards!
