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 @acluohio
So I'm not allowed to DIE w/ DIGNITY because I'm not sick enough BUT They're FORCING me to LIVE without DIGNITY by intentionally withholding the Rx #opioids that allow me to live a functional life? Basically I can't live w/ dignity nor can I die w DIGNITY. BS! @ACLU@acluohio
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.
With all the talk RE: #OpioidCrisis I didn't think I could feel lower than I do now but boy was I wrong! Cont:...
Drove through my pharmacy today & I asked my pharmacist about my insurance calling & I asked him his opinion.. honestly I am shocked. He said that #opioids are bad for people's health and do kill patients even responsible patients. Cont:...
I wanted to know how many cpp's have lost their meds & he said insurance co are going after every patient on LTOT & even though I am a "lucky patient" his words, that I will end being taken off all meds. Cont:...
