#Repost @rarediseasepatient ・・・ Some of us need #narcotic #painmanagement just to live in our own bodies, because our #pain is so severe. This makes the one-sided #media hype about the #opioidcrisis dangerous and damaging to us, because it makes this prescription #medication more difficult to obtain from scared doctors and hospitals, even from pain-management specialists. Finding a pain-management #doctor who is comfortable managing a #patient with narcotic medication, even when no other treatment has been effective, is increasingly difficult, and may sometimes be impossible. #ChronicPain patients who can’t find help for pain are at risk for #suicide. If you are in pain, you have the right to medical intervention. If you are a member of the media, you have a responsibility to report with balance and accuracy. If you are a doctor, you have a duty to treat patients with the appropriate medication for each patient’s needs, not your own, even if that means managing a narcotic. www.practicalpainmanagement.com/pain/other/ehlers-danlos-syndrome-emerging-challenge-pain-management #EDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Awareness #RareDisease #RareDiseases #ChronicIllness #ChronicallyIll #Genetics #GeneticDisorder Please help: www.gofundme.com/HOPE-for-a-RareDisease-Patient https://www.instagram.com/p/B57ErGZpYNf/?igshid=29leb9vzy92x -- source link
