i am ranting because people keep talking about the opioid crises. well i want to tell the truth about the opioid crises. the cdc which not only the states use as a guideline created this crises out of misrepresentation of numbers. most real doctors and professional pain clinics keep a close eye on thier patients that use opioids and almost all patients use thier pain meds responsibly, they do not abuse or sell thier opioid meds. there are some pain clinics that are pill mills and anyone can get opioids. i agree these places should be shut down.
but they are putting pain meds on the face of this so called crises but it also includes illegal fentanyl and heroin plus other drugs. and when the cdc reports they report a death in each column. if subject a died of an accidental overdose they record it on every list. in other words if he took heroin, fentanyl, and pain meds it would be recorded 3 times, in other words 3 deaths, the cdc finally admitted to this overreporting. now doctors and legitimate pain clinics are afraid to prescribe adequate pain meds. if they do they can lose thier licence and be arrested. there are a lot of doctors and pain clinics fighting to get relief for pain patients. of course the cdc said it never intended pain patients to suffer. and what makes it worse is when people talk about the opioid crises and don't know the real facts. we are not pill poppers that want a high, most of us don't get any kind of high, we get relief from pain.
so please don't go blindly promoting the need to cure the opioid crises. learn the facts learn what should be stopped. i agree stop illegal drugs, stop these pill factories that you just say you sprained your thumb and you get opioids.put tight control and reporting for pain meds. do research on a way to make opioid pain meds effective but useless for an abuser. i am a lucky one i do get some pain meds, i get between 20% and 25% of what i used to get. i went from fairly active to in bed most of the time. please don't spread or allow to be spread these lies and half truths. i suffer pain spikes every single night. my average is 5 or 6 during the day and at night i spike to between 7 and 9 and sometimes 10. so obviously i have to fight suicidal thoughts every single night for usually 1 or 2 hours sometimes longer. we wouldn't let an animal suffer this bad but we have to. and suicides are on the rise for pain patients with no or inaequate pain relief. so please educate yourself and your friends before you talk about the opioid crises...mike
