@GottaLaff Trump's an acute pain in the arse. Will it help with that affliction?

@GottaLaff Oooh! I was so excited, but doesn’t look like it’s for chronic pain sufferers. I’m getting really scared about pain medication access with RFK. 😔 This looks promising for acute & post surgical though, which is a step in the right direction. 🤞 *I do see acute in the post, still was hopeful.

@DEDGirl @GottaLaff

I worry, too. Non-narcotic drugs like Celecoxib are lifesavers for people ground down physically & emotionally by chronic pain. That carcass-scraping bozo would send people to aromatherapy re-education camps rather than allow them to lead productive, manageable lives assisted by medication when necessary.

@jaimeJ @GottaLaff I’m sorry. That’s all true. I have yet to find any non-narcotics that work for me. I’m extremely fortunate thus far to have no issues with taking them or getting prescriptions, yet. But it’s a constant worry. Without them, i spend a lot of time in the ER & since Covid, that’s life a threatening place. In my experience, a lot of addicts treat everyone like addicts, & RFK seems like he wants to make sure no one gets like him, even if we’re not.

@DEDGirl @GottaLaff

I hope you'll continue to have the care you need.

With RFKjr, I'm not convinced he's coming from a place of compassion to help others avoid his mistakes. To me, it seems more like evangelism, a crusade to bring others into his fold where he can control them. I could be wrong.

@jaimeJ @GottaLaff i don’t think you’re wrong. I think you’re spot on. Definitely not coming from compassion. Sadly, i think everyone’s care went to shit when Covid hit. 😔 It was bad before, but it’s really dangerous for many now.

@DEDGirl @GottaLaff

So true! Among other problems, there's a drastic shortage of doctors & other providers. It can take many months to get an appointment. Pulmonologist, endocrinologist, orthopedist, allergist, etc... and in a lot of places, women are faced with a dearth of ob/gyns, maternity services, birthing centers, etc. It's dire.

@jaimeJ @GottaLaff Yep! My kid & I have a rare genetic condition that affects every part of the body, so we both require specialists for every organ system. It’s really, really brutal.

@DEDGirl @GottaLaff

I am so sorry that your paths are made more challenging because of a cumbersome & often cruelly obstructive "health"care system.

@jaimeJ Ditto that. Wow, @DEDGirl that’s so tough. Sending hugs.

@DEDGirl Wish I could make it better. @jaimeJ

@GottaLaff will soon be produced illegally and used to cut illegally produced fentanyl..
