Another sneaky way to go after Kratom. The neo-prohibitionist busy-bodies & their Pharma managers can't stand that chronic & acute pain patients still have access to a palliative medication that they can't control. The codependent busy-bodies, who clearly don't understand the 12 step movement because it originated precisely in response to the failure of Prohibition and emphasizes focusing on controlling your own behavior & not obsessing about monitoring & "fixing" others. They're now creating "opioid misuse disorder," a political construction w/ no more basis than masochistic personality disorder or intermittent explosive disorder. Withholding palliative management for even people discharged with amputations!! (see doctorr-patient forum among many)--and now even late stage cancer patients enables them to promote the teeth rotting Suboxone & also force patients to go to heresy-screening "therapists" to get screenings simply to have acute post-op care. Questionnaires exclude you if you've been sexually abused in childhood and they've now come up w/ a bogus mutation "study" so that they can not administer genetic testing to withhold meds.
It's euthanasia by another name. Canada has MAID. But for chronically ill, disabled people suffering from severe pain & fatigue for which cheap managed drugs can keep you functioning, we have a SSDI process as corrupt & chaotic as something like in Haiti, where even Stage 4 cancer patients w/ a year's life expectancy can't get approved.
And then you've got patients who've finally gotten meds that work but are kicked off for no reason as the DEA moves to disallow any use of opioids outside of hospitalization. The DEA will "red flag" you if you pick up post-op opioids (if you're lucky enough to get them--we've seen c-sections, fractures & amputation patients sent home w/ Motrin & Tylenol)--and you pay cash, because your insurance has immediately put a hold on it just cuz, which they do frequently. If you've going through multiple procedures like w/ breast cancer reconstruction, you might have to pick them up a few times--urgently--and you can't wait a week. And insu won't let you call them in early.
Then, if you got bad RA or hEDS chronically and the God forbid have an acute crisis and need multiple meds--even if all of your docs are talking to each other and everything's approved.--you get another red flag. Three red flags and you might be kicked off--or, if your pain doc doesn't kick you off, then s/he might be kicked off registry. At that point, all of the well managed patients are left w/o new docs--and it's complete bullshit that the DEA or their proxies do anything to help you find a new doctor. They don't. The Pain network alliance is helping these patients--but there are many reports of these patients publicly announcing they're going to kill themselves and why. It's understandable. That's because they're law abiding and don't want to buy drugs on the street. If they do, they risk OD w/ fentynal which comes through daily because illegal Americans are not policed, but 10th generation Americans who need palliation to function are criminalized.
Thank you for a detailed and specific and highly informative comment here, Loren Gore. I really appreciate your effort and passionate concern. This concern is in the top tier of ethical duties of the medical profession — to alleviate pain and suffering. This should never be a political issue but it always is. Part of the problem is that we are not using all the tools in the kit — accupuncture, trauma therapies, hormonal therapies (inflammatory reduction, sleep improvement), enzymes, and nutritional modifiers that detoxify and support energy — brain wave therapies, sound, devices, manipulations. Healthcare monies are misspent. Lack of accountability is spread across mainstream and complimentary venues. We have evidence and promising methods for so many conditions that are not integrated into practice — in part because the models of warranting practices overfavor the trials that only pharma can afford. Maybe if you cannot guide something without harming people, you should return to standard — First do no harm! Let people choose… give them information and analysis and love …and let them choose. This is all an extension of the war on drugs RACKET.
