There are sights online as well as on Facebook (if you use FB?). I belong to a few and have participated in surveys, signed petitions, and responded when the CDC had open public comments regarding the (supposedly) newly revised 2016 Opioid Prescribing Guidelines, due to be published later this year. If you are interested in learning more or reading about the impact of the Guidelines, I’m happy to share info. I just don’t want to seem like I’ve got motivation to recruit anyone. For chronic pain patients, it’s good to know why doctors aren’t prescribing opioid medication and what folks are doing to change the damage of the CDC. I’m still dealing with a lot of pain, like most of us here! And although I’m not able to be out physically active in protests or participate in planning, my voice is important! One thing about the FB page for ‘dontpunishpainralley’, there is a lot of patient interaction and a lot of great information from group leaders. Doctors have a reason to be scared! It’s not their fault, they are victims too!
Just good and empowering stuff! It’s good to meet you Jilly!
