Just one comment of thousands that have come in over the past week. ⁦@CBSNews⁩ ⁦@bariweiss⁩ please consider addressing this story. It’s one of those stories only one narrative has been allowed in media.

@CBSEveningNews PLEASE report on the millions of chronic disease/pain patients who are being force tapered/cut off their FDA approved pain med. Doctors are fearful to prescribe due to CDC & DEA overreaching. Research CDC guidelines (2016)& the conflicts of interest of many of the “writers”. HELP

"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

@tonydokoupil (2) medicine. The govt is now in the exam room with the doctors & patients. There was never an “opioid epidemic”. #’s of OD’s were skewed just as in Covid. Research the CDC prescribing guidelines and the conflicts of interest. The chronic disease/pain community is beingsilenced.

@tonydokoupil PLEASE report on the millions of chronic pain patients suffering from forced tapers/being cut off their FDA approved medications due to the CDC & anti opioid groups (PROP, FedUp, Shatterproof,etc). Patients are unaliving themselves and providers are being jailed for practicing(1)

Crazy, right?

@glennbeck The Doctor Patient Forum, @CMerandi @ibdgirl76. They are advocating for the millions of people who suffer from chronic diseases, resulting in chronic pain. Patients have been cut off their pain meds that allow them to have some quality of life. The govt is responsible for this!

Who do you want me to interview for The Glenn Beck Podcast in 2026? I’ve only got 20 slots so make ‘em good!

@joeroganhq The Doctor Patient Forum with Claudia Merandi - @Cmerandi and Bev Schechtman - @ibdgirl76. Millions of people suffer from chronic disease/s that result in chronic pain. Due to the govt, many patients can no longer receive treatment & providers are being falsely prosecuted.

Name someone who you think deserves to go on Joe Rogan, but is overlooked.

Hold on a minute. The public began losing trust in the CDC back in 2016 when it issued its half-baked opioid guidelines, manipulated by the dishonest people at PROP. It was #ChronicPain patients who FIRST called out the shameless politics and junk science of Tom Friedan and Roger Chou. CPPs challenged self-interested liars like Andrew Kolodny and Anna Lembke. Back in the 90s and the early 2000s, after the raging fires of the AIDS epidemic were put out, the CDC had a lot of credibility and a rock solid reputation. No reasonable expert criticized the CDC. Now the public basically expects dishonesty from the CDC. This is a public heath tragedy but the damage is mostly self-inflicted.

@ibdgirl76 @Pharmed_Out 🤬🤬

But alas, nobody cares about industry funded CME unless it’s opioid manufacturer - oh, except for Suboxone. @Pharmed_Out it’s so strange that I never see you discuss industry funded anything in the opioid elimination industry. Why is that ?

Class coming up - guess who funds it?

I don't want to go back to the government, but I would to help the millions of #CPP harmed. Restructure the CSA and 21 CFR 1306.04. De-list Marijuana and other psychedelics. End the war on doctors and pain. Restore pain patients' rights and access to treatment. End quotas and restore the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. @CMerandi @realDonaldTrump

@crystalmurphy28 Thank you for being the voice of the chronic pain community @DanLairdMD ! You are a rockstar!! Working together, we remain CPPSTRONG 💪🏼💪🏼

@LelenaPeacock Oh I was not happy!! I have a few stories similar , as I’m sure many of us in the CPP community have 😔

@Sandibeach9989 Music is extremely helpful. Healing! I am so sorry that happened to you. 💔💔💔

You know what I just love? I love that the upper left quadrant of my body hurts in spots directly over my heart. I also adore the fact that I also deal with dizziness, air hunger, & tachycardia. I've had these symptoms for YEARS. It's fantastic, because when these symptoms happen at the same time, I get to wonder if I'm having a heart attack. Over the years, this has caused doctors to disbelieve me if I dared show up at the ER to get my heart checked out. Fun times. 🤣🤣🤣

@LelenaPeacock I do as well!!!! Music is one of my coping mechanisms. I thought it went perfectly with the situation I had dealt with (yep, it was a true story). 💞

@Sandibeach9989 Love that song!!!

@LelenaPeacock Compassion providers are still out there ~ just few and far between 😔

@Sandibeach9989 Healthcare seems to have been replaced by abuse & callous indifference. 😭

@LelenaPeacock Woman and POC have their symptoms, pain….ignored or brushed off. Where’s the CARE in healthcare?

@JonelleElgaway @ThomasKlineMD What?!?! Trying to silence doctors for speaking the truth. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #WeR1

Dr. Thomas Kline @ThomasKlineMD wanted me to let you know that his X account has been suspended. He will be back soon.

POV: talking with some doctors ~

Please RT: My Life in Letters - 100+ published papers that reveal the fraud and misdirection of US CDC and VA in their fatally flawed opioid prescribing guidelines. linkedin.com/pulse/my-life-… via @LinkedIn

@RobertKennedyJr Please go to Policies for People : We are silenced,suffering,some are dying. Help bring “care” back to healthcare. Those of us w/ chronic disease/s do not have a “seat” at the table when opioids therapy is discussed. We need a voice. forum.policiesforpeople.com/t/reforming-re…

@gary_mendell @ALISconference @NorthstarTravel @ShatterproofHQ @supportprop @fedup People who have chronic diseases, resulting in chronic, intractable pain are being silenced and dying.

@gary_mendell @ALISconference @NorthstarTravel @ShatterproofHQ IMO, your organization, as well as others (@supportprop @FedUp, etc) have accomplished many people w/ a chronic disease/s , unaliving themselves. Was that part of your plan?

I am so grateful for the incredible support of the hospitality industry at last week's @ALISconference. Thank you, @NorthstarTravel, for bringing @ShatterproofHQ centerstage last week with the panel and promoting our 8th Annual Shatterproof Hospitality Heroes Reception.
