Author of that piece to go through what many of us go through and say you need to treat your Anxiety and depression, Or fix it with your head.It's just in your head.You need to rewire your brain. People are insane. My brother.
Has cerebral palsy and they are threatening to take away his pain medication.He has spastic cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair for the last twenty five years. It's out of hand they don't want to give pain medicine for anything anymore. Just take tylenol.

It infuriates me.

Thank you, someone finally understood the article! I could not believe the trash they are trying to get us to believe. Unlearn your pain?? Its a safe pain??? Who are they kidding!!!! My favorite crock in this article was "at least I'm alive"! My feeling is they are trying to not take responsibilty for all the addiction they caused and are now trying to tell us its all in our head. Its more than infuriating, its insulting and dangerous! So sorry to hear about your brother. Its just not right.

This is astonishing that AARP would agree with PRT. What I’m even more concerned with is that the Mayo Clinic is co sighing this delusional nonsense! If any facility or doctor mentions PRT, run. They are trying to tell you, your pain is in your head! Some of these places will put you through chemo, radiation or painful surgeries and then tell you to think your pain away. Think about this? How did you know you where hurt or sick? Right. Your brain. Your body alerts you. This is dangerous, if we try and ignore our natural pain mechanism, our outcome could be fatal. This is an attack on pain patients. They are saying opiates are bad now when they have worked for years. Yet, many refer their pain patients to suboxone clinics. Go do your research on Suboxone and the maker. Take notice to the law suit as well. Just say NO to this, and bring your research with you to your appointment. You might want to contact a pain advocate, ex. Claudia A. Merandi.
