@@janetf9076I was thinking the same thing

And how would you know that? Are you part of the innercircle? Unless you have facts and data, it is heresay. I am not saying you are wrong however in the court of law back it up with facts and data.

He was actually taken out by the Dark Ones so don't be a know it all. He was coming out with âlot óf disclosures añd they needed tó shut him down. Facts 100 percent

Agree.

I had a pain management dr tell me once that I even though I suffer with chronic pain my pain wasnt chronic enough for her to prescribe pain meds as she didn't want me To start a new addiction because I was already a recovering addict from meth.

If they would actually diagnose and treat the source of the pain we wouldn't need pain medication. I'm constantly fighting for figuring out what is causing the pain.

I am going thru that now

@@FortheBudgies if it is muscular or skeletal, go see a good PT. They can figure out a lot of issues and find the cause. You'd be surprised.

​@@FortheBudgiesThere are some issues that have no cure. I have one of them and suffer every second of the day for the last 20 years. I used to be adequately treated and could have a life. Thanks to the CDC, DEA and medical boards I now have no life and I am in the bed suffering 90% of the time. I have tried everything and I mean everything, but the type of pain issue I have doesn't respond. I am being tortured.

Very well said. Governing bodies are sometimes totally out of touch with the reality of patients

There’s a group called “don’t punish chronic pain” they would love u on board to help!!!

@@natalienewkirk8362 I will certainly pitch in !! Thanks for the information

@@MedicalSecrets One of the problems is the state medical boards are tepid and do not defend but usually participate in a meritless action brought against a physician. There needs to be some push back and physicians need to stick together!

The issue is they have no real mechanism for deferentiating between pill mills and legit pain doctors, because even the best pain management doctors have a good percentage of addicts as patients. I take my mom to pain management and watch the other patients. About half look like the type of people I partied with before I got serious about sobriety. Doctors aren't nearly as good at spotting them as they think.

YUP..I am one of those boomers who is suffering from untreated chronic pain since 2017.

I am one I suffer every day at times life isn't worth living DAM PAIN

Use magnets

@@Visitor2Earthuse magnets

Absolutely!!

What's backwards is having a screen name like yours while shaming people with addiction and without knowing what led to the addiction. If you are going to go by Jesus saves maybe you should stop and think wwjd before posting comments that perpetuate shame and suffering.

Because America is a litigious country. We also tend to applaud victims. It is also very Big Brother. Ridiculous. Mr Perry knew what he was doing. The only one responsible is him. He was an adult.

@@FortheBudgies which doesn't make their statement less true , people who actually need pain meds suffer because of others people's bad choices and it's an epidemic ..

This is why we have investigations

Agreed Doctor likely under strict policy mandates and this fellow allegedly had a long history of drug abuse and stories like these impact those following the rules and trying to live a life without suffering from chronic pain.

True & now that I think about what you pointed out, I have an excellent explanation of why having nightmares don’t bother me. They do not faze me bc I’m living in a nightmare (Whew, corrected autocorrect bf posting. It changed living in a nightmare to living in a nighclub😂) I found comedy is helpful 🤗 Laughter is a distraction to avoid a pain cycle and also releases endorphins 😊

Have you looked into natures answers. Big Pharma is evil, and very artificial . Mother always had the answers, and why they alter them to be able to patent. I used red kratom to come off the high doses of opiates, benzos, adderall, and so much more that my doctor mismanaged. So when they wanted to blame me, I walked away. I've never been healthier. I had problems like yours, plus. Turns out, the meds were keeping me greatly inflamed. I am now inflammation, and BIG Pharma Rockefeller medicine free. What a trap that is. they get you the minute you're born. And people wonder why the world is such a mess.

It's a disgrace

My primary care doctor diagnosed my disc degenerative disease off an X-ray. He said oh yea you have a problem. Of course he made ordered an MRI and sent me on a referral to a neurosurgeon. I saw three different neurosurgeons and all three said the same thing. Nothing they could but spinal fusion 50/50 chance surgery would work. Not to mention the surgery could have made my condition worse. Pain management is the only option I have. Because of insurance limitations on procedures doctor is unable to take care of all pain.

I'm being censored. Kratom saved my life, the red leaf. Only buy from reputable sellers. Never use the greatly altered gas station, or head shop kind. It saved my life. I am now inflammation, and totally drug free, going on eight years.

@@ericeric363wow that sucks, the va has been every 6 months burning my nerves for 15 yrs just to keep me walking and in my job. I finally had my back surgery, and he didn’t have to fuse me, thank god. I still get my back burned and now don’t work. I only take 100 mg gabapentin three times a day. My burning lasts 6 months and then the nerves grow back and I’m ready for it again. They put me to sleep semi with versed/ fentanyl if, Iv. Sorry they can’t do it for you , I’d die if I didn’t have it, they also inject steroids into the back which help

Agreed

I disagree thst Purdue did anything wrong or that there ever was an actual opioid epidemic pre illicit fentanyl. I knew that hydrocodone and oxycodone was basically synthetic heroin when I was in grade school at 10 years old. It wasnt a mystery.

dependence is not addiction, addiction is abuse and overconsumption. i am happy your moms pain was finally treated, im sorry for the trauma her untreated pain caused you both.

Yes! Why isn’t anyone considering what keeping chronic pain under control can positively do for people, not those who abuse it.

Your doctor actually made a lot of sense. Doctors are NOT knowledgeable when it comes to medicine, pharmacists are. He was right, always ask your pharmacist and ALWAYS use the same pharmacy.

@@user-Danswife I do know that pharmacists go to school longer but I think they should look at us as a whole person. There has to be a reason I have 18 autoimmune diseases. But because they effect different organs I have to go to different Drs. I’m so weak and disillusioned with my Drs. I take my medications morning and night and struggle each day. I’m been in pain for almost 37 years now. I’m in a wheelchair, nerves throughout my body are on fire ALL the time, osteoarthritis and eroding bones in feet and back. 5lung diseases (ASTHMA, COPD, Emphysema & Interstitial LD, I also have bronchitises) I’ve never smoked in my life! I don’t drink or do street drugs either. Only my right kidney works but when I sleep it works double time so on meds to stop it at night. Angina (heart), celiac disease, Hashimoto disease, no control of bowels and bladder. Have pacemaker in left cheek of buttocks and lead inserted in Uterine wall to try and help bladder but had helped bowels a little, not my bladder so much. Narrowing esophagus, hiatus hernia, acid reflux, Epilepsy, short term memory loss from seizures. Fibromyalgia, my D-Dimmer is through the roof they don’t know why. Psoriasis, losing my hair, my shoulder are so painful I can’t lift them. I live alone and feel like a burden to society now. I’ve come to the conclusion that they can’t help me. Im not living. Im existing! 🤷‍♀️💝

Look into what your eatíng , fruit ,veg, grains ,seeds are toxic , search it no harm no foul lots of successful people on KZfaq

@@darringrey4329 I have diverticulitis so no seeds for me. I also have Celiac disease so strict no gluten! Colitis so no fatty foods, nothing fried, can’t eat salad and they suggested me put my teeth because I was in so much pain. I felt like my teeth were all infected. I just wanted help. They pulled them all and I still have the nerve pain through out my gums. I can’t put in my false teeth I got. Just the pressure of them on my gums causes more pain. I mostly eat home made soup with fresh veggies and chicken, Spices. Yogurt and homemade low carb, gluten free muffins. I’m in early organ failure because of the interstitial lung disease. Oxygen won’t help me. It’s the alveoli in the lungs. Most of mine have died. They don’t know why. They say most likely autoimmune disorders. So my body can’t get enough oxygen to my organs. I would do almost anything if it would help. I think it’s too late for me. 🤷‍♀️🥰💝Thank you for your suggestions. 💝🥰

Drs don't know what drugs interact with each other. Your pharmacist is the expert in that.

I have a real problem with people pushing it as a psychedelic, when its a dissociative. I also doubt any of these drugs effectiveness in actually curing depression.

I'm so sorry to hear about what you've gone through. I hope you find a healer you can trust 🙏

Maybe try medical marijuana.. I believe if they micro dosed with something natural like marijuana, the results would be so much better for everyone in chronic pain!

​@@songbirdy27you think a micro dose of thc would help with chronic pain? How? I get kidney stones, and the only thing that stops the pain is a shot of hydromophone. Oxycodone wont even touch it. A micro dose of thc would be pointless.

@@Steve-ev6vxTHC even in very small doses can potentiate other pain killers and require lower doses of them. Definitely not pointless..... using on its own? Prolly not that useful. But THC can make it so you need less opioids for pain relief which helps long term

@@Dude8718 yes, I agree with that. It doesn't really kill pain, but it makes you not think about it.

It is malpractice to under treat post operative pain.

@@kristensorensen2219is that even so in canada. Because I had many surgeries and they will only give tramadol but I can’t take it. I’m also not allowed ibuprofen. So only Tylenol. And that does not work at all

Who says? I have had surgery, I refused Oxycontin. It isn't necessary. How did boomers survive back in the day? Pain isn't worse now than it was 30 years ago. White knuckling post-op and using ice are very helpful, you know the pain will go away.

@@ritasnow8319well back I. The day morphine was popular. They just said the new drugs were better. Nice that ice worked for you. But everyone else is not you

@@ritasnow8319 says you , recovery from surgery in pain delays healing

EXACTLY .. it is a mess

I literally just talked to one of my doctors today about there being too many different specialists and all my different doctors having no idea what the other ones were doing. He agreed that it’s fk’d up.

Buspar did nothing forr my anxiety, but taking a benzo is a bad idea. Yeah it works, in the beginning, but then you die from withdrawal if/when you get cut off. Its better to address your anxiety, or learn to manage it.

@Steve-ev6vx buspare has been amazing for my anxiety....I also have been doing work on myself to deal with the anxiety. I've learned about mindfulness and meditation as well... which was also recommended to me by my rheumatologist.

@@theJenhha99 I'm glad it works for you. I didn't feel any difference taking it, past the first day or two. That's how most meds work on me though, they work great for a few days and then nothing. I agree with him about the mindfulness. You have to put a lot of work into it.

Oh yes, the lanes....

I’ve lost so much trust in most doctors since 2020. Not sure I can ever trust them again. I greatly respect the ones that stood up for what was right. Like you I try not to go to any doctor.

@@B-24LiberatorSince 2020? Why?

@@QueenOfTheNorth65 think about it…

I agree it’s a very accurate observation.

It because he knows these opinions are popular and expressing them on YT for views carries no risks. I bet he isnt writing scripts for a bunch of opioids though, he probably isn't even that type of doctor.

Very well said

Or his body became to used to the dosage he was on and he didn't know it could have been fatal to take more. God is the only one who knows and the only one who can Judge us all!

He did it to himself.

​@@sharicook4747The threshold for a lethal dose goes up as your tolerance goes up. The issue is addicts always push the envolope and street drugs arent usually dosed correctly.

Same for me, since 2017.

​@@Visitor2Earth1986 for me.😢

Yeah, or the fact he had DOUBLE THE ANESTHETIC CONCENTRATION of ketamine in his system. Twice the blood levels you'd find in someone undergoing surgery having their chest cut open. He was beyond FADED. Drowning on ketamine is the most common way to die on ketamine. It's the first thing I learned about ketamine was I was younger about how to not die on it. And that was never ever go in water on it by yourself. Drowning is too likely.

Actually you can use low dose ketamine with opioids.

@@michelled8408 He thought so to obviously 😮‍💨

@@HectorMartinez-gy8kp well he overdosed. There's a huge difference. Ketamine is not like opiates. It doesn't suppress breathing. You can absolutely use them together but you can overdose. That's the issue. Overdoses are intentional. You take 1 more than the recommended dose, you overdose.. it's not accidental.

This is very descriptive of ADHD where people are seeking ways to increase the dopamine we lack because our brains don't have enough.

​@@FortheBudgiesI have that issue, except attention is fine. I have addiction issue with everything that releases dopamine and sertonin. Food, sex, drugs, I have to fight it all. I wish they could jusy inject me with the stuff or give me a patch.

I’ve been on methadone for 11 yrs. I want to try this, but am scared to death to go off my meds. Was addicted to heroin 7 yrs -and still take Xanax. Want to be free from substances completely 🤍

How does magically eradicate dependency on Opiates or Benzo's? How does it eradicate bone on bone pain when you have a bone disease?

​@@reneet5858It doesn't. Its like medical canabis, they are going to claim it does everything while trying push for its legalization.

​@@reneet5858it doesn't.

@@reneet5858quit drinking overnight with ketamine. I had already tapered down from 15+ drinks a day to 2 a day but I just couldn't stop the habit part even tho I was no longer super dependent physically. Did ketamine, didn't drink. Didn't drink anymore. I've had a beer or two a handful of times this year but last year I drank every single day. Heavily. I don't even have the urge now. Side effects of alcohol are too bad to be worth it. Plus it decreases the effectiveness of ketamine.

This is weird because when I've had surgeries, 5 knee and 1 abdominal, they will not let me go home without some form of opioid, even though I won't take them because they make me sick. By my last one surgery I was very aware of what I needed to manage pain but they still sent me home with a bottle of Percocet. After my hysterectomy my pain was 100% from pelvic floor muscle spasms but they wouldn't give me muscle relaxers. Instead they have morphine and/or fentanyl? I get injections in my pelvic floor and the immediate pain is from muscle spasms, yet they give narcotics instead of the muscle relaxers I'm prescribed to take every night. I have to bring my own.

That's not entirely true :( Drs were handing oxycontin out like candy back when it first came out and that did cause A LOT of death and addiction. Now because of all of that, they have cracked down so much that it's nearly impossible to get any pain meds. They went from one end of extreme to the other. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties and I hope all goes well with your knee replacement.

​​@@FortheBudgiesThey did send him home with opioids, but he said he ran out and wanted more. They probably saved his life by denying them.

Yes, you see it in the comments. The pain patients think their opioid of choice is a saving grace sent from God, and they think all the withdrawal symptoms and side effects are just part of the disease, and they need more opiods to fix it. They curse addicts, while many times being one..

Yeah, you went through opioid withdrawals, its horrible. And are you saying oxymorphone didnt get you high? Its one of the strongest opiods. No way you were fine on OM, but hydro or oxycodone where too strong, that diesnt make sense.

It's horrible. So many are suffering and unless you have suffered chronic pain it's impossible to imagine the torture of it.

​​@@Steve-ev6vx that is a pretty judgemental statement. Opioids work very different for chronic pain and I can verify it's totally possible to have no effects like the " euphoria" and in fact it goes all to the pain and makes quality of life more normal. Everyone processes drugs different and some have a high tolerance or fewer receptors effected. It can increase quality of life and have no side effects besides constipation, in fact normalizes life and gets people up out of bed. If a medication helps someone for 9 years, to just take that away is cruel. It most certainly can not make people " high". And people who seek that "high" are ruining it for people who need pain relief.

@@lindakelley2676 Ok, but fewer receptors or a higher tolerance wouldn't make a weaker opioid intolerably strong. And I get Kidney stones regularly, I know all about living with extreme pain. I also know all about opioid addiction, which in many cases can be worse. And opioids relieve pain by getting you high, that is it, there is no other method of action. They don't "bind to pain receptors" or any of that stuff. They get the patient high enough that they don't care about the pain.

Don't give up, I found a pain clinic 2 hours away willing to help. After 10 years of sheer torture having meds discontinued out of the blue. There are supposedly new pain meds being developed that are not addictive but powerful for pain management . Hope they come out soon. So many people are suffering.

I used to smoke cannabis for many years. Out of the blue, I started experiencing panic attacks and discovered that saliva strains cause them for some people. That's when I quit using it. A recent independent investigation, uncovered dangerously high levels of the toxic chemicals used by legal commercial growers are now using are extremely toxic, negatively effecting the endocrine system and brain. These products are being sold in dispensaries. The LA times put out a recent, detailed article about this. Testing labs are being paid off to look the other way. It included the (popular) brand names and test results, so if you can convince her to make sure she isn't using any of them. This investigation was in Cali, but it's logical to assume that it's happening nationwide. -One concerned mom to another

She's still very young. Sometimes it takes a while before people are ready to stop using. Has she tried CBD oil rather than MC flowers? Could be worth a try, alleviate the anxiety without the "high". . At that age she's very influenced by her peers. Getting her into a support group where she meets peers who have the same goal, to change their behavior. Therapy might help too. I was like your daughterat the same age, my addiction issues stemmed from being S.A'd when I was a child/young teen. Has she anything like that in her past? Worth trying to find out why she's driven to avoid reality and life. She's still young, there is time and her brain is still forming. Often that's part of the issue- growing from child to adult is very hard for some people. I wish you both the very best of luck. Stick by her- the love you show her maintains trust and truthfulness. Do draw firm boundaries though, some behaviours do require consequences but be strategic about it. Negotiation can work wonders with the right communication. Maybe you could both attend a few sessions together with a counsellor to mediate the agreement. Be kind to yourself, it's very stressful on parents and the constant worry will wear you down. I know both sides of this- my youngest daughter started on the same path I was on, which of course is my greatest fear-(No cptsd fortunately, more bulemia/anorexia and cutting herself, which was absolutely heartbreaking). She's finally been diagnosed with bi polar/bpd, I am the same, same build, same personality type, as was my mother and her mother before her- all very similar re physiology and behaviour patterns. Do you know if there isany history genetically of mental instability in your family? It could also be worth doing a bit of testing to see if any base chemicals are messed up in her brain. Again, good luck to you both, netfriend. You will both make It, hang in there. Parenthood can be so damn hard sometimes. x Edit: realised you didn't state her age. May be a different situation if she's older, but most addicts are still hurt little kids inside, it's why we readily take things that stop us feeling so much.

And yes, I agree- I don't think K would help her atm, she's got to want to participate in the right spirit, which is to heal, not collect another drug to misuse. Down the path though, it might help. But def agree, not right now.

@@desertatable she will be 25 end of August. Thank you for the encouragement. She has past issues with many things. An old stepfather who I am no longer married to. He was toxic. It IS heartbreaking to see her suffer. She’s in therapy and sees a psychiatrist. I wonder if she will ever give weed up. She’s been hospitalized in the past for over usage of that as well. Hyper Cannabinoid syndrome is a real thing. She went back to using weed even after that. I think you’re right she doesn’t want to deal with past issues. I have offered rehab, but her bf uses too. So I don’t think she would be successful at getting off it permanently. I’m frustrated, as I’m sure she is with me too. I try not to harp, but I do mention it on rare occasions that if and when she’s ready, I’ll take her to a facility to get clean. She says she’s not ready so I just back off. She’s stubborn too. Mental illness runs in her father’s side of the family. I definitely don’t think she’s a mental case, she just can’t seem to deal with reality without meds. Sigh… 😞

Marijuana is a medication.

I see an NP at a pain clinic 💜 bless. It’s mostly for my medical marijuana card due to chronic back pain and muscle tension, because seeing my grandmother spend her last years on opioids for polymyalgia rheumatica and additional pain due to steroids steered me clear them. Threw out the pills after my bunionectomy. Finding a skilled massage therapist and being able to go regularly with help from family has greatly reduced my back pain. Between that and medical marijuana the pain itself is manageable. I still have functional impairment unfortunately, and neurologist options are not the best in Delaware. On Medicaid no less.

@@meliss4603 - ahhh! Bless you!!! Just today two of my sweet patients with your same diagnoses saw me. Trigger point injections definitely help them. I use a 50-50 mix of lidocaine and bupivicaine and inject it into the spasmodic muscles at the trigger point. It calms down the spasms considerably. I believe MJ helps a lot of people, so I don't despise it like a lot of pain management clinics do. However- I have severe asthma, and the aroma/residue of MJ on a patient triggers an asthma attack, so I ask my patients not to smoke it when they're coming to see me. The tinctures and oils don't trigger my asthma- so that is better to use. They're very considerate of my needs too. I personally have chronic pain myself, from a few different severe accidents in life. My entire spine and pelvis has been fractured, so the pain is throughout my body. I truly understand my patients' pain! I am also a Professor, so I do a lot of teaching with my patients so they'll understand their situation better. Bless you, and I appreciate you sharing your story! If you're willing, I will share your hope with my patients!! Always remember this: "Either you have pain, or PAIN HAS YOU." Try and be the one with pain, control it so that it doesn't control you. It sounds as though you have pain-- and care well for yourself. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!! 🙏🏻💜🕊️ Remain Light, Dr. B.

It was my understanding that all opioids have long term risks associated with them like you have detailed with oxycodone.

@@johnniewasr5740 You’re right.

​​@@johnniewasr5740They do, but I thought the only liver and kidney risk comes from those compounded with NSAID medications, which should have never been done. If they need an NSAID they can buy it over the counter.

It's most definitely underused in Ireland. I have been on fentanyl patches and Oxycodone IR for years, but weaned off from 50mcg patches ...ended up back on them a while later but recently (March) tapered off them and Oxycodone to move to Palexia and Brintillex antidepressants as I've had 20 years of depression stemming from severe trauma at 24. No one has ever even suggested ketamine to me. .yet I know some chronic pain patients who have ket infusions. 🫤

Effexor is evil

That's disgusting. You deserve better

​@@suetrublui know a lot of vets that were just put on opioids and zonked out by the VA, before they went in this direction. They deserved better than that too.

I agree with you about this medication. Perry's last thoughts we may never know. Treating patients with respect and dignity is always necessary for this treatment (and all others!)

Thank you for the kind comments! 🙏

Lorisalou - not having any other withdrawal experience for comparison, my Effexor withdrawal was HELL ON EARTH. Same symptoms you describe plus brain zaps & constant nausea. I tapered my dosage as slowly as possible, no way to stop cold turkey, yet it still took 10 months!

Make sure you discuss paint management after surgery! I talked to my last dr about pain management plan after surgery. Apparently we misunderstood each other so make sure the dr is on board with what you need before surgery

Definitely what I think happened. Seeing how big the amounts was in his body

Thats what happened, so how does this doctor not even know it is a possibility? Doctors should actually do these drugs before reccomending them. They are always wrong about how they work. He also said bupenorphiene doesnt get you high! Got me way higher than morphine or oxy.
