You know what is a crime? Abandoning physically disabled pain patients that were stable on legally prescribed #OpioidRx that is the crime❗️ 

I am exhausted by the lies of the false “opioid crisis” or is it the “opioid epidemic” or “opioid this or that” opioids do not kill people. People kill people by not having self-control, and mixing multiple illegal street drugs with alcohol etc.❗️

I am bedridden with such spine damage, I will never walk again or even be able to function because my medication was taken away❗️ Three decades I lived in the most medical nightmares you could imagine, and not to bore everyone, it wasn’t until I was back in the ER sobbing that I was too young to be crippled, confined to a bed, that my new PCP started me on a low dose opioid medication. Not only did nothing work to stop my pain but any other medication given gave me worse side effects.

I was on medication legally prescribed and had zero side effects from opioids for almost a decade. I could walk, with a cane, but walk. Work. Sleep. Function. I was independent❗️ Opioids were created to manage pain for severe long-term physical conditions. That is what they are intended for. Yes, they can be used for short-term conditions too. 

Opioids not only restore mobility. They help reduce the serious consequences that a body goes through when suffering of chronic physical pain. You sleep. You are functioning independently. You aren’t bedridden in 24/7 debilitating pain. I never asked to increase my dose. I never overdosed. I never did anything other than take my medication as prescribed, living a quality of life most able-bodied individuals take for granted.

The thug DEA should not be allowed to harass doctors into abandoning their patients. PERIOD❗️❗️❗️❗️ They have zero medical training, experience, and do not have or earned a medical license to practice medicine❗️ They should be going after the drug cartels who are selling illegal street drugs to this day this very minute❗️

Theo, you know nothing about my medical history. The DEA knew nothing about me. Neither of you have read over my four decades of complex, complicated heinous health nightmares❗️ You are not doctors. Recreational illegal street drug users should not dictate decisions of my medical care❗️

I am dying a slow, and barbaric death confined to my bed because of these lies, and my heart will stop due to the relentless chronic pain. Physical not emotional. My pain is well documented by MRIs, CT Scans, X-Rays over three decades. My physical body injuries will never heal. They have left me physically disabled. Do I not deserve a quality of life? My medication was so that I didn’t have to be bedridden in 24/7 debilitating pain! I was prescribed opioids for long-term pain management. That was the point. 

Veterans, chronic pain patients, the entire pain community is suffering turning to suicide because of these lies! 

We are adults. Nobody is forcing anyone to take opioids. You don’t need them, great for you❗️But butt the fu$k out of my life.

I am happy you get to enjoy life, your money, your fame. I am dying confined to a bed actually fighting eviction because I can’t work, I can’t do anything anymore. I am going to end up in a body bag because nobody will help me. I am on every waitlist for assistance but it doesn’t matter. I was stable on my medication but these lies, and the thug DEA have signed my death certificate!

Great job in saving lives by murdering other lives in the name of “saving lives” what BS such discrimination against physically disabled 💔🥹
