There is a difference between nightmares which come during our sleep and nightmares which happen while we live them in our daily lives.
Although they are both better avoided the first is unpleasant but the second can be deadly.
Pain patients who are cruelly and inhumanely

denied adequate palliative care very often in the form of safe, most effective #OpioidRxs live a nightmare of unrelieved chronic, severe pain in their daily lives which can totally disable them or end their life with one of many complications caused by under or untreated, severe
chronic or acute pain.
Why must the nightmares of pain patients continue? To ensure the profits to the #DEA, #CDC, or #PROP? To pacify #AntiOpioidRxFanatics?
I do believe that no one from either of these groups will be totally disabled or killed if we stop killing pain patients

I'd like to explain why #PainPatients & the #disability community is having a VERY difficult time w/this suite of articles about #ChronicPain.
I did find a more balanced view in some of the articles, & that's a good start for journos covering #ChronicPain. Sadly, it isn't enough.

For the past 7 years, #PainPatients have endured the draconian shift in #healthcare & attitudes toward pain & disability.
Countless patients lost their meds.
Many patients lost their doctors.
Some patients lost their jobs, their spouses, even their children.
Some of us died.đ„ș

In 2016, the #CDC unleashed their #Guidelines for prescribing #opioids for #ChronicPain.
The guidelines were adopted as a mandate in Rxing & the #StandardOfCare across the board.
Overnight, #PainPatients became a glaring liability for all doctors, & the consequences are harsh.

Not only does denying terminal cancer patients adequate #OpioidRxs to control their severe or intractable pain cause them to suffer indescribably and agonizingly: it ends their lives even sooner.
As if that were not cruel and inhumane enough: taking much needed #OpioidRxs

Cruelly taking away much needed #OpioidRxs from people who are disabled by constant severe, intractable pain makes many of these human beings terminal: they will take their own lives or die in agony from complications of untreated severe pain. Yet the #CDC, #DEA, #PROP Cartel
Yesterday I took my #OpioidRxs to allow myself to sit among a family at a member owned grocery store. To the others it was a nice, family gathering, but to me it was extraordinary.
I was actually there, sitting, talking without pain curling me up into a ball. The sad part

The sad part is that millions of other pain patients would be capable of something just as ordinary and rewarding if #PROPaganda, the #CDC, and the #DEA had not conspired to deny them of much needed, safe and very effective pain meds.
But my meds are gone, and now I will pay

Some minimalist principles for using @RoamResearch effectively based on the live stream with @wshuyi.

1. A meta-point to start: use the tool with a purpose.
For me, Roam was a way to write faster, so everything was focused on that goal. FOMO disappeared as I could easily separate the relevant from the irrelevant.
When getting started, that's a blessing, as it cuts complexity.

2. Metadata tagging is another form of complexity.
Simplify to Not Started, Doing, Done.
That's in contrast to using, Not Read, Reading, Read and Not Written, Writing, Written.
It will cut your cognitive load and make your database more of a delight to use.

Update: My doctor lowered my pain meds AGAIN last month KNOWING how poorly I am tolerating this forced wean. Despite being forced off my meds they made me see the "#addiction doctor" to assess my "risk" of addiction & that appt was yesterday.
During that visit he actually said "I need to just get used to the #pain & I'll be fine", he said " everyone's going this #opioid free route & you have to deal with it" & a few other absurd things. I was literally in tears the entire appointment...
He asked if I wanted to "see someone & possibly get meds" because I was in tears from pain, feeling afraid, unheard & ignored, to which I explained that this is NOT an emotional or mental issue that it's purely a horrific pain & suffering issue... I politely declined the help.

If anyone in the #PROPaganda community believes that pain patients such as those with my brand of severe pain should be able to just use their minds to ignore pain and go about normal work activities w/o pain meds then I volunteer to help them with a scientific study..
Maybe Mr K or any other equally committed #PROP member could volunteer to be the test subject. Using nothing but the power of their minds much as they did when they composed the #2016Guidelines with zero help from pain patients or their doctors ..
They could attempt to do their normal daily activities or work while I reconstruct my pudendal nerve pain by coming in every 15 minutes and alternately either kick them in the groin as hard as I can or drive ice picks into both sides of their groin - my choice
This makes me so furious. I donât know what has to be said to make individuals aware that #opioid #pain meds benefit many. I donât ever condone violence, ever, yet try to put yourself in inds shoes who have benefitted from #opioids & their QoL has improved. Many of these 1/

Citizens Petition? Anyone game? It is what #Kolodnykills and #PROP members did to get these insidious guidelines implemented. Why donât we give it a go? By law they have to acknowledge and respond. I canât do it alone, anyone else?

The medical use of #opioids did NOT cause the OD epidemic. But so many people believe it did, that in 2019 even @nytimes agreed with #Kolodny that #racism "protected" black Americans because doctors failed to treat their pain effectively. @afrakt /thread nytimes.com/2019/11/25/upsâŠ
NYT 2019: "African-Americans received fewer #opioid prescriptions, some researchers think, because doctors believed, contrary to fact, that black people were more likely to become addicted to the drugs & would be more likely to sell the drugs."
Black Americans are less likely to receive adequate #pain relief, according to researchers, because there's a lingering (#racist) assumption that black people have a "higher pain threshold" than whites.

2012 column by leading pain expert B Eliot Cole, MD, MPA, warned that "radical changes" proposed by a group calling itself #PROP would deny #opioids "to the majority of patients now receiving them for noncancer pain." / thread hcplive.com/view/just-how-âŠ
In the early 2000s, "buoyed by the success of treating cancer-related pain with #opioids, many physicians rose to the challenge of doing more for their patients suffering with #ChronicPain," Cole wrote.
"This led to an increase in the number of prescriptions for #opioids, which had the unintended consequence of more opioids ending up in medicine cabinets in more homes, ultimately giving more people (đ©not patients) access to these valuable medications for nonmedical purposes."
With no indication yet of whether #CABudget deadline day ends with a deal or a pro forma vote and ongoing talks between Newsom and legislative Dems, there's this thorny issue: the budget bill to be voted on today assumes a gubernatorial action that hasn't happened. (Thread)
