Well, it looks like I may have run into the end of my pain relief therapy.
No doctor in the area will help me out of fear of Federal harassment from DEA.
The plan is to wean me off from 18 yrs of pain med use over the next 8 weeks.
This is gonna be hell.

So the #DEA (can't find their account on Twitter) has allowed me to get my pain meds over the phone now bcuz of COVID. However, the pharmacy can't mail them to me bcuz they are a controlled substance.
We need to ask the #DEA to lift the ban on mailing controlled substances now !

A Society refusing to treat pain is a society with a serious lack of morality. Casting out people to who have to take pain medicines for lifelong rare painful diseases is unbounded cruelty. This is shameful. We are Americans. We don’t do this to one another.

Another casualty in the war on "#opioids".
Meanwhile 88K die from #booze every year, 400K from #tobacco, and 17K from OTC #pain #meds.
This madness HAS to stop now. Won't you speak up for the #CPP's in the world ? You may be one, someday.

In CA I can no longer get pain care for a real, MRI verified medical condition.
I can't get certain medicines unless I agree to be labeled w/a psych diagnosis.
Can't even buy a straw here to grasp at
while I'm drowning in this madness.
But one can get high & get free needles?

Hey @CDCgov @CDCDirector @CDC_eHealth , you NEED to CLEARLY and LOUDLY explain that your RECOMMENDATIONS were ONLY that, and how you NEVER meant these to apply to CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS.
LIFT the limits for chronic pain patients that have had opiate therapy for YEARS.
We BEG you.

wren lum@wren_lum

@DessiF3 @Enchantress0125 The DEA will never stop until there's no pain specialist left. I'm not sure how but what they are doing is making someone a lot of money. And with the CDC guidelines causing all this hysteria, the CDC needs to explain to the SEA the guidelines weren't meant for chronic pain!!
