@ravensspirit68 I suffer w/underlining chronic debilitating painful side effects, I lv in CA, where the best Urogynecologists/PM's are, no1 will treat pain patients, afraid of losing their medical license, abandoning us. I am not an opioid addict; I am Mesh Injured 4 life! #PainCareCrisis

Good idea.. let's get this to trend! #PainCareCrisis

Good morning friends 😊

I just heard experts say that encouraging bupe as first line for chronic pain helps people w OUD bc then pharmacies will stock up- so using pain pts once again. Who cares if bupe help pain pts or not right? So gross.

“90% of EDS patients report chronic pain according to research, with pain often being the first symptom. Yet, many are still told it’s ‘just anxiety’ or ‘in their head.’ Why isn’t this fact more widely known? EDS pain is real, complex, and deserves to be taken seriously.

How many suicides were of patients with chronic pain conditions, cut off of safe rx pain medicine they had used responsibly for decades?

This probably happened because the doctor avoided using opioids click2houston.com/news/local/202…

I received a message from a mom whose son is battling brain cancer and the doctor is only willing to prescribe gabapentin He said he won’t lose his license We need everyone to vote on this policy forum.policiesforpeople.com/t/reforming-re…

#chronicpain how many of you with rare painful diseases have found pain to be so extreme that you found yourself screaming, some say screaming into your pillow, but screaming in general. please retweet

@Raynee19 Most patients HATE resorting to alcohol. My stomach is a mess too, so it's a no go.

This might be the most tone-deaf post I've seen in a while. Stanford, patients lost access to analgesics, so some began drinking alcohol to survive. I've met patients that measure out shots of alcohol to *dose* themselves so they can sleep a little. Treat pain appropriately again, & alcohol use in pain patients will evaporate. Our problem isn't drug use or alcoholism. It's severe, longstanding pain.

To those of you who have lost access to appropriate pain treatment, & you feel forgotten & alone: You aren't alone. There are thousands of us. I know it's cold comfort, but we can remember each other, if nothing else. Try & hang on to an ember of hope, if possible. There are people fighting just for us. 💪❤️

Is pain care better, worse or the same in Canada?

@Loser67484556 They sure don't deserve the title of 'doctor'.

Anybody with chronic pain can tell you that, should a professional fail to treat their suffering, they WILL find something else that works. Something potentially more dangerous. Patients have been saying this for decades! But, we’re all just lying, drug seekers, right? 🙃

@StanfordPain It's because pain patients cannot get the medicine they need to live.
