    0:54 no, EVERYONE was not prescribing opioids for EVERYTHING in the '90s and '00s. I'm sure there were over-prescribed and pill mills but those were in the minority even back then. Nowadays, the opioid hysteria has gotten so insane that you will probably not receive even a mild opioid for a limited time after a major dental procedure or even after surgery.
    Chronic pain patients are being forced off of the opioids that give them quality of life. Some chronic pain patients turn to the streets out of sheer desperation for relief. And many are unaliving themselves due to unrelenting pain.
    When will this inhumane torture end?!?

      You sound like you are as angry as I am. They have beat the opioid bs to death. If you do some research and I feel like you have, you have likely seen that since they have stepped in and started telling grown adults with chronic pain well your just gonna have to deal with your chronic pain the death rate is higher than it was before the dea screwed everything up. It’s due to suicide and desperate people in terrible never ending pain turning to the streets for help but they keep all that quiet. The only way this will get changed is for us to call, write letters and what would be greater still for groups of us to go to the dea and just refuse to stay quiet any longer until this is changed and we demand help or start getting lawsuits filed for suffering, not being able to work and being punished for things that the majority of us aren’t guilty of. I’ve called the dea several times since 2016 and yes we have had a few shouting calls. What makes me furious is the fact that over the first half of the early 1900’s you could get opioid medicine for pain right off the shelf at any drugstore. That should still be the case today. We might as well be living in a country with a dictatorship and I feel the government needs to keep out of our business period. I appreciate your thoughts on this jetpretty1613 and I hope you will keep fighting for our rights. I will be fighting in the south. Take care and hang in there.

      You are 100% right! The Gov't "War on Opioids" has only targeted legitimate chronic pain sufferers and made it impossible to even get pain relief in a hospital- I won't bore you with my current issue, but it is serious and a local hospital prescribed Ibuprofen and Tylenol for my injury, on top of ignoring the root cause of my problem.
      Until the tons of Mexican and Chinese Fentanyl coming in through the southern border is stopped , the deaths from Fentanyl can only increase. What the (SO-CALLED) Health Care System is doing by refusing to allow chronic pain patients their needed medications is creating more of a market for illegal drugs- the average pain patient will do whatever it takes to avoid withdrawal . Detox from long term opiate/opioid drugs can be fatal, I know 3 who have died from withdrawal....

    It is not any of the CDC OR DEA’s business what kind of medication we take as grown adults. I’m 54 years old with severe chronic pain in my back from two failed surgeries, no cartilage in my knees or shoulder joints. Diabetic stage 2, cancer etc. I n my opinion, when it comes to pain, NO ADULT should need a prescription to get any pain medicine they want PERIOD. If I have the money to walk in and give me 60 oxycodone 20’s and 60 klonopin for my panic attacks and stress, It should be bottled up and sold to me right then with no script or any questions. Not to mention the attitudes I have had to deal with at pharmacies. As soon as you mention pain meds and Walgreens are exceptionally bad at this but they quickly get a smart attitude and look at you like trash. We can change this people but we have to come together and make a lot of noise. I’ve had enough of this pain myself and I am going to do something. I don’t know what but there’s a answer to this and I’m going to find it.

My Drs office was closed Friday so I could Ed get my meds to another pharmacy. I still have medication I’ve saved for this exact thing. Chronic pain really is a nightmare.
      I’m worried but know i won’t die if I can’t get them for a while. I’ll be stuck in bed like before I got help. I won’t die. I’ll be a burden to my family.,” the medication really improves my quality of life. So I won’t die but I’ll not be able to clean my house. Drive. Nobody wants me on the road feeling in chronic pain. Or at least I hope won’t die. Edit- Some people who run out may have a heart attack. This who need stronger drugs and have cancer. It absolutely can cause a heart attack.

      This, of course, depends upon the individual's proclivity to addiction. To be blunt, I was addicted to H and alcohol for many years.I was a stubborn addict. It took three years in and out of psyche wards and a rehab for the message to get through to me what I needed to do to stay sober; that day is January 11th, 2006. A lot of fine people helped me. I did not do this alone at all, and I thank all of them each time I qualify on whatever live or cyber-platform I'm on. The degree to which I truly understood what true recovery means allowed me to use powerful opioids twice in two years safely and without any relapse whatsoever. I recently had a right knee replacement operation in NYC, Jan 9th 2024. It went well, and in the post-op kit I was given a 30 tab bottle of Oxycontin (5mg) and a 30 tab bottle of Tramadol (10mg), which I used as prescribed for the pain, and they worked very well. This marked a massive change from the post-op kit I was given in 2014 for my left knee replacement, which was a 200 tab bottle of Vicodin (I'm not joking). I never came close to using all those tabs. I thought it was really weird to be given so many tabs. Ended up flushing the excess down the toilet, and that was perfectly fine. I had to chuckle because there would have been a time several decades ago when I would've done anything to continue the prescriptions. I feel immensely grateful every day all day.

    It only got worse. The stigma associated with opioids is killing pain patients and the DEA knows this. They have cut production of opioids every year and now thousands of people are forced to go through horrific pain and even death because there simply isn't enough meds to go around. This includes end stage cancer patients. Hospitals are refusing opioids to patients after surgery and offering ridiculous drugs that have no pain killing qualities including benedryl. The people are being forced onto the streets to look for relief. They end up with phentanyl and die. The od's are a direct result of the government thinking they are doctors and cutting patients off.

my dr cut my drugs in half based on a letter from the dea saying to cut off patients while I was at my drs office a cancer patient shot himself in the head while we were there in front the dr because she cut everyone's meds in half it made it so I couldn't do physical therapy anymore I'm bedbound these days of horribeus pain and this pain has caused me heart attacks and now they labeled me with diabetes but it's not treatable with insulin because they high sugar that put me in a coma is from pain so the body in pain causes cortisol to pump and the body reaction is to pump Glucose my endo dr that I now have costing me a extra 800 a month has said I need my pain meds back to what they were but the pain dr I have said he can't even though I am suppsoed to be protected I have a rare gentic disorder I didn't know I had until the accident an it effects my body to feel more pain then most I don't have the sodium channels to help stop the pain with the drugs and the only drugs that seem to work is oxycodone my pharmacist says he can't even give me back the level I was on when he was unable to fill my script last month on time we called over 45 pharmacy and they all said they can't take new patients for filling opipids my mom who recently got cancer from her gentic disorder wasn't able to fill her script she was sent to hospital but they will only fill while in the hospital which I was put in a coma from lack of pain relief in September they won't fill a bottle to take home they can only give u ur script while in hospital so when the pills were unable to be gotten I went into a coma my body shut down the pain is so bad I have had 3 major heart attacks this is crazy my dr doesn't under stand it my pharmacist says how sorry he is he was forced by dea to send in my medical files which I feel is a breech of hipa they arnt drs why do they have a right to my medical files in order to clear a redflag to begin with that they instituted its not even a high amount I'm less then half then I was on for 5 yrs they cut out of blue making me sicker I have a endo dr who has said I need more pain meds to survive but she can't do anything but send letters to my pain dr my pain dr said he would like to raise it back to what it was but he has a office full of cancer patients and end of life patients that if he can't practice they have no where to go he can't risk for me or another patient it's crazy it's like the government wants us to break the law because there is only so much more I can take before I have no other option my life has ended because of this I can't leave my house I am in so much pain the problems of addicts become my issues now I think about what I'm going to do specifically when my pharmacist can't fill my script and I slip into a coma I'm terrified of it happening again I can't see family and friends I can't leave my home I can't get out of bed from the accident I have had help getting dressed eating everything it's so bad but I was getting better and now since a year ago I have gone so down hill I'm missing chunks of my body due to muscle detoration how is this stopping anything ever no junkie is being saved by killing me I have 3 boys who feel I have abandoned them because I'm stuck in bed they don't understand mom can't walk even after relearning to walk again why I can't get out of bed or be apart of their life I've been fighting to survive but the pain is winning I'm what's left of the pain group I joined when it started everyone else is dead 6 from suicide due to being cut off so severely if I had a whole brain I would make my own meds to give the people who were in my group my middle son changed his entire schooling because he wants to make pharmaceuticals to save me that shouldn't be his care but they all have my gentic disorder so when they get hurt they will go through nerve deteration like me and my mom I feel the government is trying to kill me I did nothing wrong and I have been through hell had to sell my house to survive can't work I don't know what I will do soon I wish I could get ahold a drug maker who would fill my script direct I would pay them whatever they want just to be able to try to walk again I didn't ask for the 85 yr old who stole his son in law car and hit me head on that left me fighting for my life for over 7 yrs now I thought I got through the hard part then 2 yrs ago they for no reason just cut my meds in half the girl dr I used to see quite after the guy shot himself leaving only the male dr at my pain specialist place he is old if something happens to him I don't know what I would do if something happened to my pharmacist I don't know what I would do because I have called and no one will fill a script for pain meds in Florida how is this safe or fair for anyone I'm lucky I'm not as bad as others but I can't get anymore of the many surgeyrs I need because they can't raise my pain meds back up and my body has died on the operation table from pain I dont know what to do at this point I have no idea how others survive I won't get better I have a rare nerve disorder soon I will be in so much pain my body will just stop it seems so crazy this can happen to me when I started being labeled for diabetes when the meds don't work the only time my sugar went down was when thye gave me more pain meds then sent me home knowing it would just go back up because I don't get enough pain meds. I'm supposed to be protected but apparently that's all a lie to appease the public I don't understand we can grow poppy here in America and build a job force let alone making and distributing yet we don't and we allow the cartel to kill people it hasn't stopped drug addicts from getting their drugs just pain patients from getting help something has to be done how many people who shouldn't suffer get help

Opioids worked wonderfully for me, for many years, but now my dosage is greatly reduced and I have to tolerate pain. I could be working an earning a living if I had more opioids prescribed. I believe the opioids sold on the street are too risky. They too often may contain other drugs such as cocaine, and methamphetamine, mixed with heroin and fentanyl. Certainly much more risky than legally prescribed drugs. I am trying to read the new CDC guidelines published in 2022 Nov. 995 pages. I've read only about 10 pages so far. Will this really help? It is a bot hard for me to read because I have face and eye pain in addition to toher pain. I think pain patients need to get better organized and work for change. Even if we do not succeed, we need to try, if only for the next generations of people. Ask yourself who benefits is opioids are restricted. Physicians who sell other methods or relieving pain, whether they are effective methods or not, benefit if people can't get opioids for their pain. For example physicians doing destructive surgery such as nerve ablations, spinal fusions, can get more patients and earn more money, if patients can't get opioids for their pain. It is in their interest to limit opioid prescribing. Are they behind the 2016 CDC guidelines? Ask: who benefits.
      God may be watching but I tend to think the only way that God implements change, is by working *through people.* We need to take action. If there are actions to take, we must do them, and we must not rely on prayer. We must be God's workers, implementing his plan for betterment. We must _not_ wait for death and "heaven" to have relief. I think we owe it to the next generation of people to improve things on earth, now.

      Try having all four removed and an abscess drained from an infection. Few months later another abscess had to get surgically removed from one of my front teeth. Cut it out then sowed it back up. I had 27 root canals including retreatments. 3 implants. One failed had to have redone. Bone grafts. A lot of infection. Nerve damage because of it. Only one endodontist had enough compassion to give me five mg hydrocodone. Which I needed. I got nothing for the wisdom tooth removal. Some are more impacted than others and are more painful. Just cause you didn’t need them doesn’t mean some have it worse. You’d have no idea what to do if you had gone through what I did. I had to have seriously major sinus surgery because of all the infection in my teeth that moved up to my sinuses. I had bones removed near my temples. Lots of dead and infected tissue removed. Bones also sawed down to help me breathe. I needed the pain meds for that. Trust me it’s torture with pain meds. Without it is barbaric. And you’re telling people it’s bad to want pain relief? These meds are used for a reason and opium has been used for thousands of years for pain. Doctors giving patients Vicodins for pain isn’t why there’s a fentanyl epidemic now. Even back in the day where OxyContin came out. You couldn’t go to any doctor and have him give you 200 pills for a cut on your knee. There were some pill mills but It wasn’t like the news and tv shows portray it. It’s disgusting your attitude towards suffering people.

Then they gave me Tylenol which didn't work at all and I was bed ridden in agony until I finally acquired adequate pain medication through the under market. Problem solved.

    The major disconnect in both opinion and practice of prescribing opioids for pain relief is for those who have never suffered long term chronic pain. They cannot fully understand or appreciate just how debilitating - both physically and mentally - chronic pain really is. When a person has medical records documenting the need, there should be very little standing in the way of getting relief. They say they are trying to reduce deaths due to overdose, however, prescription overdose by long term chronic pain patients is extremely rare. The greater problem is where people obtain prescriptions for profit - (the CDC does not differentiate legitimate prescription usage overdoses and illegally sold/used prescription purchases ending in overdose. We can ignore their numbers all together - the CDC is vastly a propaganda machine pushing the current narrative.) There are, by far, more deaths of legitimate pain patients who are unable to obtain needed medication and turn to street obtained fake pills, than there are legitimate patients using pharmacy supplied long term prescription opioids. Stop Punishing Pain Patients and Stop Punishing Doctors for taking care of their patients.

      Absolutely. To be blunt, I was addicted to H and alcohol for many years.I was a stubborn addict. It took three years in and out of psyche wards and a rehab for the message to get through to me what I needed to do to stay sober; that day is January 11th, 2006. A lot of fine people helped me. I did not do this alone at all, and I thank all of them each time I qualify on whatever live or cyber-platform I'm on. The degree to which I truly understood what true recovery means allowed me to use powerful opioids twice in two years safely and without any relapse whatsoever. I recently had a right knee replacement operation in NYC, Jan 9th 2024. It went well, and in the post-op kit I was given a 30 tab bottle of Oxycontin (5mg) and a 30 tab bottle of Tramadol (10mg), which I used as prescribed for the pain, and they worked very well. This marked a massive change from the post-op kit I was given in 2014 for my left knee replacement, which was a 200 tab bottle of Vicodin (I'm not joking). I never came close to using all those tabs. I thought it was really weird to be given so many tabs. Ended up flushing the excess down the toilet, and that was perfectly fine. I had to chuckle because there would have been a time several decades ago when I would've done anything to continue the prescriptions. I feel immensely grateful every day all day.

    SHAME ON AMERICA PART 2: I have new information that will fill you in about the current shortage of pain killers in pharmacies across the US. Last night, I spoke with the daughter of a friend of mine who is a government investigator. His daughter works for a major pharmaceutical corporation in New Jersey at a drug distribution center. I learned from her why this nightmare will only intensify in 2024 if Congress does not step in and force the US pharmaceutical corporations to operate their businesses responsibly and once again be fully accountable to Americans everywhere.
    She told me the distribution center where she works at has always received weekly deliveries of prescription drugs that are produced in foreign nations such as Turkey, the Ukraine, Russia, China, South Korea, India and other third world nations. She said none of the drugs are produced in the US and that has been the case for several decades because the US-based pharmaceutical corporations found it cheaper to acquire drugs from overseas rather than produce them here in the USA.
    She told me that when the Russia-Ukraine War began, Putin's bombing campaign destroyed many of Ukraine's drug-producing facilities that routinely sent drugs to the US. The problem there only increased with time as Putin bombed more and more Ukrainian cities and towns where these drugs were made, among other things. That drug market died a quick death.
    Last year Turkey was devastated when severe earthquakes destroyed many parts of that country, including drug producing facilities that routinely shipped drugs to drug distribution centers in the US. That drug market virtually dried up overnight.
    Now, the US-based pharmaceutical corporations depended more on China, South Korea, India and a few other nations for shipments of drugs to the US. But as the Russian-Ukrainian War continued, Biden sent more and more aid to Ukraine, including military equipment that allowed the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians in many battles so far. Putin then stopped all drug shipments from Russia to the US, killing that drug market immediately.
    Still, the US-based pharmaceutical corporations refused to even consider producing drugs in the USA again so Americans would not have to rely on foreign nations for their prescription drug needs. The demand for drugs grew ever higher as the supply for these drugs diminished greatly within a year, a year and a half. And it continues to this day.
    China, annoyed by Biden's interference with the Ukraine situation and his reluctance to stop the Israelis from bombing Gaza, has only intensified and the Chinese have decided to slow the shipments of drugs from China to the US to a trickle, if even that, thus causing this current crisis with the shortage of drugs to Americans, especially critical drugs for severe pain relief such as the opioid class of drugs.
    My friend's daughter has a boyfriend who is a stockbroker and in this conversation I had with them last night, he provided me with additional information that you should be aware of. He told me that as the supply line of drugs to the US-based drug distribution centers withered away month after month, the US pharmaceutical corporations began to panic because they were greatly concerned the value of their stocks would decline on Wall Street if all this information became public knowledge.
    He said he spoke to several key figures in the US pharmaceutical industry who privately advised him that they were trying to curtail a run on the drug market, especially where opioids were concerned.
    These pharmaceutical representatives told him that the big US pharmaceutical corporations worried that American consumers would find ways to stock up on opioids, even having their friends and relatives obtain prescriptions from doctors for opioids if they would agree to do so, just to have extra supplies of the drugs because US pharmacies like CVS began to run short on these drugs and began a secretive process whereby they no longer filled the entire prescriptions written by doctors, but only for a certain amount of pills any time a customer attempted to have their prescriptions filled at their local pharmacies.
    If they had, for instance, a prescription for 120 Vicodin pills, CVS would only give them 80 pills and simply tell them they were short on the drug and advise them to return two weeks later to see if the remainder of the prescription could be filled, provided new deliveries of the drugs were received by CVS. The druggists were advised by CVS executive offices in New Hampshire not to tell their customers the true scope of the problem regarding the shortage and why it was occurring because they wanted to keep the public in the dark about this.
    In the meantime, in Washington DC, little has been done by elected officials about this ongoing crisis. Across the USA, patients who need to have surgeries, have been forced to delay getting the surgeries because they have run out of pain killers and they fear they will not be able to cope with the pain they will have post surgery since the recuperative periods are indeed painful, especially for spinal surgeries and surgeries for cancer, tumors, clots and a wide host of other kinds of surgeries commonly done on a daily basis.
    All the hospitals are on short supplies for drugs because of this crisis. Patients who are scheduled for surgery are given prescriptions for pain killers by their doctors and usually have them filled before the surgeries so they have the drugs on hand as soon as they return home. But now, what with the drug shortage, countless patients have been forced to delay getting the operations they need and American politicians have been mute about this.
    The stockbroker told me that virtually all pharmaceutical corporations in the US and elsewhere have seats on the stock market, meaning the public can buy and sell their stocks, according to the varying degrees of success or failure these drug corporations have. And right now, they are failing miserably and their stock worth is going ever downward. What the drug corporations are trying to avoid is a major collapse of the worth of their stocks completely.
    They fear their stocks will plunge in a spiral like a house of cards if this drug shortage continues. Thus, they are not volunteering any information to the public or news media and it would take an act of Congress to subpoena those who own the US pharmaceutical corporations to testify before Congress on Capital Hill about the reasons why this shortage is happening and what the drug corporations intend to do about it, if anything.
    The stockbroker told me he spoke to many high-level Wall St. analysts about this fiasco and they told him many US politicians own stock in the US-based pharmaceutical corporations. They play the stock market like anyone else and try to buy the stocks when their prices are low and sell them when they are high. This severe drug shortage might be causing those who own such stocks to hold onto them and wait until their value rises again on the stock market before selling them off.
    The major drug corporations fear that a major sell off of their stocks on the stock market now would severely damaged them financially for the foreseeable future. Is this why Congress has yet to hold hearings on this crisis? No one is answering this question, not from Capital Hill and not from the US pharmaceutical corporations.
    No one is being accountable as to why prescription drugs, especially painkillers, high blood pressure and cholesterol meds and a wide variety of other critical drugs, are not being produced right here in the USA when they can be. Americans are being held hostage, he told me.
    He also said that where pain killers are concerned, the average patient who has chronic pain from injuries that have caused them to suffer permanent disabilities and ongoing levels of pain, are over the age of 50. Most of them are senior citizens on Medicare or Medicaid.
    This means the federal government is helping them with their prescription drug costs and this may be another reason Washington is stalling on this issue and thus, delaying any hearings on the crisis. In the meantime, people are suffering more and more and becoming all the more dysfunctional, not being able to do the things they need to do because if you haven't got the proper medication for pain relief and nothing else will do but opioids, your condition becomes all the more debilitating.
    Many pain sufferers are becoming bedridden without their medications. I learned a lot of information in one night from two sources, people who are in the drug industry and a Wall St. insider who was able to give me his perspective

    As long as pain is regulated by medicines for those with diagnosed cases of intolerable incurable pain. Most prescriptions used by pain patients are not abused nor do they od. Also, if someone does overdose it's usually with non prescribed illegal meds. Some opiates only work for some people. Different body chemistry, different med absorption etc.. Also if person ods then they had a drug addiction and/or interaction which is person's doing, not fault of opiates in general. Stop suing drug companies for pain med ods esp when not prescribed illicit meds . ❤

    To be fair, if your insurance won’t pay for it (and they have doctors to argue against treatment just to save money) you aren’t getting any help. At least not without footing the bill yourself.

    So sad -- the CDC and the DEA have been at the root of this problem from the beginning especially the DEA. Their "cracking down on providers" is the main reason there is a huge problem with people suffering in the country and not getting the pain control they needed all along. Providers are scared to death to prescribe anything anymore for real pain issues because of the over reach by these government agencies who instead of focusing on the real issues with controlled substances -- choose to focus on providers and micromanaging them and thier practices. What a collosal waste of our tax money they are.

  • @mercy3219
    @mercy3219 3 месяца назад +1

    So, how do you get the doctors to stop fearing what the government will do to them if they exceed 90 mme (morphine equivalents)/day.
    Pharmacists get into the act, so even if your doctor is willing to do what is necessary to treat, the pharmacists may block the prescription or insist that a plan to wean the patient from pain meds be filed.
    Some rare conditions, like RSD/CRPS are long time chronic conditions, spreading, progressing and becoming permanent pain diseases in some instances. There are over 7,000 rare diseases affecting 2+M people in the US where the mechanism for pain is poorly understood and can be extremely debilitating due to pain. It may be the patient is forced to live a life of constant and severely debilitating levels of pain -- some committing suicide when it is no longer tolerable.
    The overreach of government is not grounded in research -- the limits set by CDC in 2016 were arbitrary (a doctor just picked the number 90 😊 when asked for a max. safe dosage amount 220 mme/day = the CDC 2022 revisions allowing greater latitude in prescribing. The establishment of medical rules should be arrived at by medical experts NOT legislators who may be swayed by special interest groups!

  • @gendoll5006

    If Drs would just do bottle recalls and drug tests for the pts who get narcotics it would knock out 90% of the patients who are misusing and selling them and allow the patients who truly need them to live a productive life. But most Drs just write them and don’t do anything to MANAGE the meds.

    In 2022 alone almost 110,000 US citizens died as a result of overdoes in the drug war on the US. An inconvienient truth which is being marginalized or ignored by many. In large part because they have no solutions to this crisis. . This death toll is almost the same, for US citizens, as all the wars we’ve been in since WW2. Very sad. So much crisis and tradgedy. The western health care systems blow like leaves in the wind. For chronic pain and to stay off strong deadly illicit narcotics, I implement the "harm reduction model" of recovery by using Kratom for pain for almost 8 yrs now. About 5 years ago my doctor told me to stay on kratom which I fully intented to do. I only wish kratom was as pure and reliable as phamaceuticals are. Maybe some day soon it’ll be prescribed by doctors.

    Chronic Pain patients are still suffering,... they are taken off of completely or have had their dose greatly reduced. Many have had to stop working and are now disability..... Yes, overdoses continue to skyrocket each year, but a huge majority is illicit fent or a mix or drugs and or alcohol it is not due to legitimate patients even those on "high doses'. Prescriptions continue to decrease while overdoses skyrocket.... so this has caused more harm than good for all sides....i pray that pain patients are able to get the medicication and dose that is best for them. Tell me how taking someone off of beneficial medication they have taken for uears is helping?? Then many are told they can either take suboxone or nothing (also choose suboxone and it is assumed u have OUD and most likely will now go in your recpords.... i would rather pain patients know what they are taking instead of going to the "street" for pain relief. I pray the pendulum swings back soon.
