No patience with pseudoscience. Chemistry, economics, MBA, global pharma/market access, dislike harmful anti-science ideologies, sloppy thinking

@MatthewJDalby Quite common if unexplained symptoms incl chronic pain. Try searching “pain caused by guilt or fear”, you’ll be amazed at scientific looking explanations. Some drs tell ppl it’s possible to “think” themselves out of pain, many eventually diagnosed with known physical conditions.

Anxiety seems like the only emotion that is still seen as acceptable in medicine to proclaim as the cause of illness. It only sounds normal because of repetition. Imagine if a doctor said your unexplained symptoms were caused by fear or anger or guilt. It would sound bizarre.

You know what’s actually overdiagnosed? Anxiety. Let’s talk about that, because without that label, doctors wouldn’t have a way to dismiss and control patients. It’s a modern-day hysteria diagnosis.

@Galenpharm @ibdgirl76 @ChadDKollas If a pt has got to 90 taking opioids without “becoming addicted” I’d think the risk of causing premature death and severely damaging QoL through stopping treatment abruptly is much much higher than any potential benefit from “avoiding addiction”.

@Galenpharm @ibdgirl76 @ChadDKollas If dr doesn’t rx effective pain relief, risk of ongoing severe pain is 100%, also risk of sequelae eg high BP, hyperglycaemia, stroke, sudden death etc remains high. In contrast risk of iatrogenic addiction is extremely small, around 1-5 in 1000 in patients without existing SUD.

A 90-year-old cancer patient treated like a drug-seeker. Cut off opioids cold turkey by her own oncologist. Now she’s forced to go to a pain clinic every month just to get medication she was already stable on. @ChadDKollas I am seeing more stories of oncologists doing this. Any idea why?

@MassOrdPenetrat @aander1987 @Blacksword011 So you can share things 100:100? Interesting maths. So you think burning people isn’t actually violent? The law and decent society begs to differ. Ideas you don’t believe in must be in another language? Hmmm. No point carrying on this nonsense.

@Dr_Done_ Post is about drs pretending they don’t use Google (of course they do, in old days might get book/PDR off shelf to check). Maybe feel they have to bc they automatically dismiss pts reading research papers online (Dr Google) without 1st establishing level of medical comprehension.

@PainNewsNetwork Unfortunately a growing number of lazy? burnt out? HCPs are jumping on the “over diagnosis” and “is diagnosis harmful” bandwagons. Completely dismissing patient validation, access to support (if not treatment), and impact on funding of and access to future research/CTs.

Dr. Adam Gaffney got more than he bargained for when he went on X and claimed EDS, MCAS, POTS and Lyme are overdiagnosed. He got plenty of feedback from the chronic illness community. rebrand.ly/doctor-faces-a…

@MassOrdPenetrat @aander1987 @Blacksword011 Didn’t say I hated anyone nor that anyone should have less of anything. If it’s too hard for you to recognise the time and effort of your partner is as valuable as your own, that’s your problem. As you advocate violence against women, no surprise mutual respect is lacking.

@Madeinavalon @aander1987 @Blacksword011 Neither exists, nor should they. It’s unclear to because you OD’d on haterade. That’s your whole problem. You promote equality, 50-50. I promote wholeheartedness, 100-100. You want women to have LESS, so long as men also have less. This is why women like you need a witch burning.

ATTENTION SUBMENTAL LEGISLATORS EVERYWHERE: Go to your local tobacco store. Purchase a bag of kratom capsules. Actually try 2 capsules (recommended dose) You may even swallow 4 Then tell me whether you think this is a dangerous heroin-like drug from which we need protection

@PainNewsNetwork Drs told to use gabapentin, TCAs, NSAIDs as “opioid sparing” agents, many pts end up on med cocktails with suboptimal pain relief, increased SEs as found here, and exposed to more “drugs of abuse”. Interesting anyone could conclude this means *opioid* use should be reduced 🤷🏻‍♀️

The co-prescribing of long-term opioids with gabapetinoids continues to trend upwards, despite warnings from the FDA that it's a risky combination. rebrand.ly/prescribing-op…

@MassOrdPenetrat @aander1987 @Blacksword011 I said equity not equality, not that it should matter. Men benefit hugely from the status quo so it’s in their interest to belittle/ignore the inequities in their relationships. It’s less clear to me why women also do it; demonstrates the power of socialisation.

@sweenprs @aander1987 @Blacksword011 All the time lol. I am completely responsible for my car - SO doesn’t drive. If he took that on, could be helpful, but honestly wld make v little difference to daily work/preoccupation if I were also left solely responsible for organising family, elderly relatives etc. Be honest.

@rsdcrpsfire Moral panic is not logical, it’s emotional. Opioids are “bad” therefore anything that isn’t an opioid is “better” (even if, like bupe, it actually is an opioid!). Gabapentin has a place in pain medicine but can have serious SEs & is a popular drug used illegally for recreation.

@Madeinavalon @aander1987 @Blacksword011 Some of us do daily tasks with the kids, kitchen, etc., and still get whined at about things like ‘mental load’. Some women just aren’t very stoic and anything to complain about will do in a pinch.

@Darkmdd @DoraWinterz @JamesFriedman73 “Prescription opioid” not nec “prescribed opioid” or even legitimately manufactured in stats. Could be metabolite. Simply label for group of chemicals that *can* be prescribed. Almost all rx ODs due to illicit use/polypharmacy. Virtually 0% accidental deaths re legit medical use.

The Opioid Crisis. The 2016 CDC opioid prescribing guidelines. Who was actually dying? Not who you were told. Illicit fentanyl deaths doubled in one year. 130% increase from 2013–2016. Patients on prescribed opioids? Less than 4% of overdose deaths. The wrong population paid the price. Someone you know deserved better than this. #SavingUsToDeath

@Michaelotc13 @lauriejkane @aander1987 @Blacksword011 Wow, really? Thanks for…clearing that up! Actually, believe it or not, my response was about relevance, not content. Try reading *my* comment & the comment I was replying to, then explain why a lecture on very specific shopping habits was relevant to what either person said.

@Madeinavalon @aander1987 @Blacksword011 It is easy, so easy in fact that most men are now doing all of it alone lol. the thing is, why even be married if the person you're married to is going to do simple things, and get angry at you for it, men are wising up to the game women play with that shit lol.
