A Dr said he could not see, measure, or prescribe for pain because it is invisible. Wrong, Doc, pain looks like me & millions more who die if u are blind. #IPP

Today at the gym was a good start toward getting back on track, but as always when we live with too much untreated severe pain the least challenge that comes along can be overwhelming, but one of them was my fault.

The one that was not my fault was driving over a nail which started deflating my rear tire behind the driver. I remembered I had put an electric pump in the car long ago for such emergencies. I pumped the tire back up and drove to a Tires Plus where I bought a new fire because the nail was too close to the sidewall. It is good I was

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

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.

A WWII vet had been on #OpioidRxs for his severe pain for 40+ years. Within months of being 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.

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

Imagine if you will some fragments of those covid proteins which the mRNA vaccine produced happen to end up next to cardiac cells or nerve cells after the cells from our immune system shredded them. The next attack from our immune system would likely injure the cardiac or nerve.. The next attack from our immune system would clean up those fragments but also damage the heart and nerve cells. This is an autoimmune response much like how my immune system will drill a hole through my small intestine trying to get at any wheat I might accidentally eat....

Late at night the scene from my long ago motorcycle accident replays in my head. I am lying on the hard, black pavement numb from head to toe from the impact. I am 15 years old.

There is a policeman and the driver of the car I hit looking down at me in the dark. The policeman .. The policeman thinks he recognizes me and calls me by someone else’s name. He asks, ‘John, do you want me to tell your parents about this? (He meant to tell them how I died). I said, ‘No’.

The driver of the car says he can’t be inconvenienced by this any longer, and he must..

If anyone in the #PROPaganda community believes that pain patients such as those with my brand of severe pain should be able to just use their minds to ignore pain and go about normal work activities w/o pain meds then I volunteer to help them with a scientific study.. Maybe Mr K or any other equally committed #PROP member could volunteer to be the test subject. Using nothing but the power of their minds much as they did when they composed the #2016Guidelines with zero help from pain patients or their doctors ..

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

What the #CDC, #PROP, and politicians conspired to do to pain patients in 2016 is far more devastating to pain patients than any “over prescribing” ever was yet only a courageous few have bothered to publicly challenge them for it. Have they successfully denigrated .. Have they successfully denigrated pain patients to the point that the general public will just turn their heads and ignore the suffering and death which occurs until it hits one of their family members? Shamefully I can recall several times before when these tactics were used ...
