Every doctor treating patients with chronic pain should read this

No problem! Opened right up!

@kdks99 lucky you! In Canada it always takes longer … unless it is a Canadian study.

Can’t imagine what the cost will be 😂 but to be able to walk with no pain, heck, maybe i’ll sell my husband to the highest bidder

If you have medicare they will be required to cover it….as of now

That talks about post surgical patients. Hopefully non-surgery folks, too.

Docs can prescribe any prescription off label once it's available so it should.

I have been in chronic pain for 25 years. I refused to have any stimulator or pumps implanted into my body. I worked with an Osteopathic doctor to keep my body in alignment, did sympathetic blocks (which did not work), physical therapy and took medications. I finally started to get my life back after I went to a functional medicine clinic. My first visit was a full hour and they asked questions and wanted to know as much about me as they could. We found I had NO hormones, my adrenal glands were not working, my vitamins and minerals were all screwed up. With the help of my CNP I stopped eating gluten, dairy, no processed foods and ate organic foods. We replaced the hormones and everything else that was depleted. I work full time again. I can say I only take 4 pain pills a day now and feel better everyday. I am a firm believer the reason our country is SO SICK is from all the chemicals that we eat. Our doctors stopped finding out what is broken before they put a bandaid ( prescription) on it. God help us all!!

I am so glad you've found some relief. I agree that nutrition and avoiding contaminants is important for everyone. I was very athletic and beat my body up for most of my life. I trained for ultra marathons, etc so my issues are structural and require additional solutions...not that I've found any. I am very interested in suzetrigine because it is THE first non-addictive new pain medicine to come down the pike in 20 years. The side effect profile is actually better than placebo. I will try it knowing that it is new and therefore there is certainly risk. I am providing the phase 3 clinical trial for anyone who is interested. I always do my research as hope everyone on this site does. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40122-024-00697-0

@kdks99 I wonder if Canadians would be eligible for this study …?

The phase 3 study for chronic pain is in limbo because of everything that's happening here. I think the phase 2 was inconclusive because of poor study design....hopefully they will be able to move to phase 3. As of now this should be approved for acute pain, but doctors are able to prescribe any available prescription off-label. Things are in limbo here so it may be approved but the FDA is prohibited from all communication so we won't know. I absolutely am going to try it as soon as it's available....We've reviewed all the research and it looks very promising. After I do I will post here about my experience and maybe you can make a plan. I believe medicare will have to cover it because of this. https://www.nopainpact.com i think this will be a game changer and if it is you'll figure something out.
