@sandibachom @DopesickOnHulu All my adult life there's been spikes in overdose deaths, in clusters, then waves, now a flood.

Illicit fentalogues mfg. in clandestine labs has polluted black-market drugs since detected in 1976. CDC recognized this in 2006, so did DEA.

Sacklers didn't do that.
Propaganda. @sandibachom @DopesickOnHulu This article from 1993 covers a DEA investigation into a clandestine lab responsible for killing hundreds up and down the East Coast.

No pharmaceutical was used in these deaths.
No Sacklers.

Illicit Fentanyl.
The Driver Of Death for over 40 years.

Our power is out, no one has power. Probably jealous neighbors looking into pasture at our well-lit home, glow of TV.

Last time only WE went out, AND it blew our inverters too!

Is this justice?
No, it's how things are SUPPOSED to work.
Murphy's Law gave us a break this time.
😁 CEMC service truck went thru an hour ago spotlighting.

Just saw bucket truck go same way.
That means..its past our feed.

Chop them out of our grid.
Power us back up.
Finish up tomorrow.
Their night's shot anyway.

Maybe an hour?
I hate to have to put emergency window unit in.

COVID19:

Good news for (mostly) all!

Progress continues on development of polyclonal antibodies, a key in early and effective treatments, possibly preventative prophylaxis.

BAD news for me. None of these will help me.... First, an article discussing development of antibodies sourced from equines...

We only hear it as 'destroys immunity', at addiction dosage, probably does.

At therapeutic levels?
It HELPS.

Your report may be ancedotal.
But it's TRUE, it does MORE than help pain.

Fatigue brings it on, two days of opioid clears it.

Over that 10-year period, I recorded multiple 'less than zero' viral detection by ultrasensitive assay used only in research.

75 of us put in special trial.

That is also history, poorly captured by coroners. @headdock @Nashkitty66 @Canada_NV @hope411adcock @Chronic_FLKeys @bluelilly40 @Deeenst @ThomasKlineMD @StopBadDocs @HR4peopleinpain @chattyknana @maryann19711 @SpicyPurritos @Vlynx5 @SweetDeals16 @secondchances09 @Royalacresrod @Sarahkirk40 @soofriends @DebM01279692 @onnaroll66 @EbCummings1 @russell90367011 @CContrarus @eullrich11 @aander1987 @life_is_art___ @fightpaindaily @Kazeself @JustWinks @JoshBloomACSH @RepKatiePorter @NPR @NPRHealth @JeffreyFudin @drcarlhart @BethDarnall @twebber02 There are reports of fentalogues in heroin going back as far as 1976.

Heroin itself became pure, sortable, and being used by upper middle-class kids by mid-90s, and undoubtably some of those deaths included fentalogues.

Heroin quadrupled production in 2000s.
Someone used it...

Just what the f**&ing hell.

Power went out, direct strike on our pole. Worse, it must have hit one of our off-grid lites too!

So it also took out my inverter battery back-up. Blew the outputs. Scrapped it.

We have a genny and a gallon of gas.

Gonna be a long day.
🥺 I see our strike arrestor blown open, but utility says our outage is part of an ongoing incident.

Means they fix it, then we call back left behind. That's a few hours lost.

Then, damn system has the 'not A' address tagged to my number. But they have power.
Another delay.

"When he came to, he was on the floor. He had rolled out of the wheelchair and hit his head. A gaggle of worried-looking medical staff stood over him. They asked if he was on drugs."

In most ER, he would have already been hit with two doses of NARCAN.

nytimes.com/2018/07/24/mag… #alphagal allergy syndrome breaks all rules, stands as example of how much we don't know. This guy got lucky. I have YET to meet medpro that knows this, except for my allergist.

Had I not studied myself and searched for answers, my PCP would have found them thru MY anaphylaxis.

@DEEGILES0410 "total resolution relating to the marketing of Suboxone is more than $2 billion — the largest-ever resolution in a case brought by the Department of Justice involving an opioid drug."

Suboxone, the newest and most effective gateway drug, 'Prison Heroin', easy to smuggle. @DEEGILES0410 "Buprenorphine emergency department (ED) visits for nonmedical use of the drug have increased fivefold from 2005 to 2011 – up to more than 20,000 ED visits involving buprenorphine products for nonmedical purposes.."

Thanks to Indivior.

We need truce to unify movement to restore pain care.

Recent fallout from UDT wars has split movement. Worse, we're labeled by our activism against forced frequent UDT of patients.

AMA stands in agreement with #Borderlines. It's time advocates include us. We're not the enemy. The attached tweet references discussion where MS layed out plans to intercede in WA state deliberation of a pain patient rights bill, to insert mandatory monthly UDT as a requirement.

This is not a moderate position.

AMA position IS a moderate position.

Urine Drug Testing is a flashpoint among many pain care patients, who resent being forced to submit, pay for procedure that can only DENY care, with no benefits, no medical necessity.

Certain advocates like Dr. Michael Schatman, have alienated patients with his UDT support. Dr Schatman's online advocacy is frequently attacked for his promotion of UDT.

AND many patients join in with him, to denigrate those fighting this civil-rights intrusion into our care. We're told we are threatening a movement.

Yet, there's an elephant in the room...

Study of existing data biased to indicate prescription driven crisis.

Age-adjusted totals make it easier to blame rx.

But age-specific data tells a different story. Rx primarily elderly, disabled with few OD, while youth without Rx are majority OD. These charts tell that story. Yourh without prescriptions overdose at rates up to six times higher than elderly with opioid rx.

Yet, what's reported in media is a prescription-driven crisis, using rise in rx over 20 years. Ignoring how that rx was used!

Its time to present some 'first wave' charts, but NOT those doctored by 'PROPdocs' such as @SteveGelfand using nothing but volumes and OD to make a case.

Damn right there was more prescribing since 1999!

Those rx 'increases' had NEW destinations.
Tens of millions of them! Lets start with surgery increases.

Medical technology was not standing still. Last 20 years an EXPLOSIVE growth!

Here's survivors of hip transplants....overwhelmingly elderly...

That's worth several million opioids...
