I'm working on a special project & will be creating graphics for folks based on their pain descriptions that we can share with the our pain stories.
#PainSpeaking #SeeOurPain If you're interested please send me a DM with your pain description.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty. He said, "no thanks", when asked to serve his country. Speaking about McCain, Trump stated: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
During the 2016 presidential election, Trump’s campaign orchestrated a televised Iowa fundraiser meant for veterans but directed the foundation’s money to boost his political campaign. The charity was used to buy personal items, including a $10,000 portrait of Trump. The New York State Attorney General filed a lawsuit in 2018, regarding Donald J. Trump Foundation, alleging a "pattern of persistent illegality" and self-dealing. The investigation found that Trump used the charity as a personal "piggy bank."
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The Eric Trump Foundation Controversy: This investigation revealed that the charity raised money under the guise of FUNDING THE ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL, but was allegedly charged over $1.2 million by the Trump Organization for using Trump-owned golf courses, shifting donor money meant for sick children back into Trump businesses.
1 fake university shut down. Trump's charities always involved cheating and grifting. HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO RUN A CHARITY IN NEW YORK He and his family are no longer allowed to run a charity in New York because the Trump Organization used the funds for Trump-owned golf courses, SHIFTING DONOR MONEY MEANT FOR SICK CHILDREN INTO TRUMP BUSINESSES. He was ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second. A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. THE ONLY POTUS TO HAVE 3 GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS IN HIS TERMS.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient. At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone, then BRAGS about lower crime. He has no long term solution - ever. He just sends in the military. The military seems to be his answer to everything.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
YOU'RE PAYING FOR THIS. NOT CHINA. YOU!
Got America involved in a forever war with Iran, though promised the exact opposite.
Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One. He has continued to side with Putin and has never admitted that Russia invaded Ukraine - UNPROVOKED.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the mid 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

NO!
Dear g-d, no.
Please don't tell me you're a doctor prescribing gabapentin for end-stage cancer? I have dying patients who can access all the gabapentinoids, tramadols, antidepressants, and acetaminophen/NSAIDs in unlimited doses who are going to the streets hoping to find diverted pharma product. If it isn't a pharmaceutical med that found its way to the streets, they're fully aware they could be accessing something laced with illicit fentanyl analogs. Something fatal.
You know what every single patient in that situation says? EVERY SINGLE ONE?
"I'll either be pain managed or dead. Either is fine with me!". That's what Prohibition is doing to vulnerable Complex Pain Patients, including end-stage cancer patients. Driving them to the streets, to suicide, and to #DeathByDoctor, medically assisted euthanasia.
Dave didn't survive his cancer returning, he'd gone into remission after aggressive chemo and a Laryngectomy. He had about 18 months in remission, and then felt a familiar pain. He wasn't believed at first, it was months before the tumors were visible, and he was offered antidepressants, gabapentinoids, and tylenol/advil for pain. It was cruel.
He went to the streets. In our last conversation, he told me not to worry, he was at peace if he didn't survive the street drugs. He sure wasn't going to survive the meds offered for pain by his doctors without ending his life, so...
(told with Dave's permission)
And you're laughing?
Seriously? You're laughing.

University Hospital is asking for the public’s help identifying a man who remains unconscious after he was hit by a vehicle on the West Side last week.

Prohibition and opioid deprescribing are two of the most profound government-induced death campaigns of the last century. They have criminalized doctors (or deputized them as med cops) and justified racist structural oppression by police, child welfare, landlords & employers
If people want to use the cocaine they should be able to buy a safeR product.
It's quite a madness when the government prescribes death as the cure while telling you the actual cure (for some) is what is dangerous.
Thanks to an offline gift, we are at 80% of our goal!
To my fellow pain advocates & harm reduction peers: your support means everything.

It was primarily pain advocates and online friends who stepped up to carry us. Knowing many fellow advocates donated while on strict, low-income budgets moves us deeply.
No action went unnoticed—whether you donated, shared, or sent love, every single effort mattered.

Can someone explain how both of these narratives are supposed to be true?
Pain patients are accused of “just wanting opioids” instead of treating the underlying cause.
But when they push for imaging, a diagnosis, or answers about what is actually causing their pain, suddenly they’re “too focused on finding something wrong.”
So which is it?
Apparently wanting pain relief is suspicious, and wanting to know WHY you’re in pain is suspicious too.
Very convenient.

Great article! The 2016 CDC Opioid Guidelines were largely based on junk science. They ignored bioavailability and genetics.

My youngest brother passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 11. He was recently homeless and had no assets, and we’re struggling with his final expenses.
Any donation or share is deeply appreciated.

A 15-year-old student has drawn global attention after developing a device capable of detecting pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages. This matters because pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers largely due to late diagnosis.
The invention is a low-cost sensor designed to identify specific biological markers linked to early pancreatic tumors. Unlike traditional tests that can take days or weeks, this device delivers results in just minutes.
Medical experts reviewing the project noted that the technology could dramatically improve survival rates if deployed widely. Early detection allows treatment to begin sooner, when outcomes are far more favorable.
What surprised researchers most was the depth of understanding behind the invention. The teenager studied existing diagnostic limitations and engineered a solution that addresses both speed and affordability.
The breakthrough has earned international awards and scientific recognition, sparking discussion about how much potential remains untapped in young innovators. It highlights how curiosity, access to knowledge, and support can lead to life-changing discoveries.

What kills people is the drug policy.
The only difference between this and this is the time period.
It's a choice to make people buy mystery drugs from gangsters.

I remember being absolutely pissed off when I read what 'qualified' one as having Complex Persistent Opioid Dependence. Now, it appears that they've dropped that 'dx' and have called it simply prescription opioid use disorder. 🤦🏻♀️🤬 – at Pottstown, PA

It's actually a Democide by definition in every way. The intentional or known harming & killing of the civilian population by Government, through Policy, neglect, action or inaction. It's profitable Prohibition Policy, causing the #PainCrisis & fully intentional
