A couple months ago our sister Michelle Bloem committed suicide due to uncontrolled pain. Before she was murdered for the sake of 'preventing addiction', Michelle wrote this:

To whom it may concern,

I have CRPS/RSD and am currently seeing a doctor that monitors my progress and medications. I was diagnosed in June of 2010. After trying every treatment modality including physical therapy, anti-seizure medications, biofeedback, etc. I was put on OxyContin. After having 8 brachial plexus nerve blocks and 5 lumbar nerve blocks, my neurologist/ pain management doctor kept upping the dosage of it because I was getting no relief and we could not figure out why. He ended up upping the dosage so much I was only experiencing side effects, no pain relief. I decided to leave my pain management doctor at UCLA and seek out another doctor that could find out why I wasn't getting any pain relief. I finally found a doctor that did many tests on me including: Neuroinflamation blood tests, Genetic malabsorption blood work-up. My doctor was able to figure out that I cannot absorb oral opioids due to a genetic malabsorption defect. He put me on a trial of subcutaneous dilaudid. I had experienced instant pain relief and received my quality of life back. I have been on this medication for two years with no side effects. This medication has to be compounded, which my new insurance will not pay for. Dr. Tennant has saved my life and given me my life back. You must understand that we chronic pain patients cannot be punished for the people that use opioids illegally. None of us "want" to be on these medications, but have no choice. After trying everything, we just want quality of life. The restrictions that are already put in place are making it harder and harder for the legitimate chronic pain patients to get their medications that give them quality of life. Please consider that we are carefully monitored by our doctors and take our medications as prescribed only. We should not be punished for the street abusers that only want a "high". I have never experienced a "high" from my pain medicine. There are studies in the process that have to do with different medications to help us, but it takes an extremely long time to get them FDA approved. In closing, I hope you will kindly consider our circumstances, that we have families, and only want to be able to participate in daily activities without suffering inhumanly.

Thank you,

Michelle Bloem

Michelle died directly because of the policies and practices of people like @AndrewKolodny, The CDC, Organizations like #PROP, and the policies of people like Chris Christie and the #POTUS @realDonaldTrump. Chronic pain patients are dying because of the policies our government imposes to curb the illegal use of opiates. Just because we suffer from chronic, debilitating pain does not make us criminals. We take medications, under the supervision of multiple doctors, to improve our quality of life. Chronic pain patients are being forced to take their lives as their only means of pain management. Please stop the genocide of chronic pain patients!!

It started with the negligence of the entire Obama administration letting in illegal heroin and fentanyl from china….but the CDC, Dr. Andrew J. Kolodny MD Psychiatrist, not licensed in pain treatment and extremist group PROP

Quit spreading false hyped up exaggerated distorted propaganda for profit.

It's a War On Chronic Pain Patients and an illegal heroin and fentanyl Crisis…Not A Doctor Prescribed Opioid Crisis.

The illegal heroin and fentanyl is brought in from China, Mexican Drug Cartels and M-13 gangs.

The the CDC admitted that it has been over-counting prescription opioid overdose deaths by erroneously categorizing street fentanyl as a “prescription opioid”.

So why the hype or distortions?

So that more tax payer money, and $$$$ revenue are diverted to 2 Big Pharmas rehab drugs, rehab clinics, pain clinics, TENS, BIOFEEDBACK…that have patients rejected after those pain treatments failed.

While chronic pain patients treated like drug addicts, dropped by their Doctors, forced to buy illegal drugs on the streets or commit suicide.

Dr. Andrew J. Kolodny MD Psychiatrist, is the founder and Executive Director of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing (PROP), anti-opioid extremists group who ran the Phoenix House chain of so called “non-profit” addiction treatment centers and responsible for the 2016 CDC Guidelines and increasing the pharmaceutical levels of all opioid, reclassifying them to insane levels. He is neither qualified nor Board Certified in pain management that has no medical expertise in the field of pain management, treating chronic pain patients whatsoever.

Addiction treatment & rehab centers bring in lifetime profits. U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Adm. Estimated the market for addiction treatment at about $35 Billion back in 2014.

The insurance companies told the rehabs that they would no longer pay for inpatient rehab for heroin, cocaine or alcohol unless there was also another “psychiatric disorder like bipolar disorder or major depression” linked with their addiction. Which now primary care physicians are pressured into doing, as well….even if their chronic pain patients are not either depressed or suffering from any psychiatric disorder.

Add a new diagnosis to the mix and throw a few more psychiatric drugs at their now relabeled “dual diagnosis”.

The treatment model essentially tells patients nothing really can be done about their addiction except to provide them more drugs, sometimes for life.

The now called substance abuser never recovers, but simply stays hooked on another or multiple drugs, while Big Pharma & rehab centers, pain clinics cash in big time (mostly from the tax payers).

Buprenorpine, marketed as Suboxone, has been a success story for Pharma and Wall Street Suboxone sells for $560 at CVS and $553 at Target for a 30-day supply, according to GoodRx is just one example.

Kolodny and PROP extremists played central roles in developing the 2016 CDC opioid guidelines, to ostracize, constantly pressure primary care physicians from prescribing opioids for chronic pain.

Although voluntary and only intended for primary care doctors, the guidelines have been widely adopted as mandatory by insurers, federal agencies and throughout the U.S. healthcare system.

In an online survey of over 3,100 pain patients and healthcare providers on the first anniversary of the guidelines’ release, most said the guidelines were harmful to patients, had not improved the quality of pain care, and failed to reduce opioid abuse and overdoses. Critics also cite anecdotal evidence that the guidelines have contributed to an increase in patient suicides.

When Will Someone in the Federal government and CDC…END the WAR ON CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS?

How many chronic pain patients have to be forced to commit suicide or go to the streets to buy drugs???

So these ridiculous, no-evidence-based CDC guidelines dreamed up by one quack (Psychiatrist) who profits from two rehab-drugs & rehab-facilities, with no expertise in pain patients or pain management, and also verbally lumps all chronic pain patients in with heroin addicts, wrote the CDC Opiate Guidelines!!!!

And to make matters even worse, the CDC recently admitted that it has been over-counting prescription opioid overdose deaths by erroneously categorizing street fentanyl as a “prescription opioid”.

When in reality it’s a heroin and fentanyl crisis–not opioid crisis at all!

The CDC-dictated torture to chronic pain patients is unconscionable and barbaric.

Sentencing people to live and die in torture because of lies and the greed of the “anti-addiction” activists-on-anabolic steroids-mixed-with-testosterone…known as PROP and notorious quacks like Andrew Kolodny are crimes against humanity.

Do the right thing and fix this horrifying mistake and negligence by the CDC…

You are our only hope, the only one who can, Mr. President!

Even the lowest pharmaceutical level of opioids like Tylenol #3 were raised and made into a dangerous opioid forcing those patients to be dumped by their doctors, feel like a bunch of drug addicts, force them to go to the streets for drugs or commit suicide.

End the insanity…Are we going to have people die in agony like we did 30-40 years ago….in the 21st Century?

You are our only hope, the only one who can, Mr. President

I am a Trump Support from the first hint of him possibly running for President. He has saved America and our freedoms, Q , Anons and our Wonderful Military…I've been on here for over a year!

The media is distorting this to hurt the President.as with everything else.

When they are the ones that are responsible for the hype, distortions, false facts.

And Obama is to blame for the illegal drug supplies of heroin and fentanyl, going after Doctors instead of the drug dealers, cartels and gangs,etc. It was manufactured under his 8 yrs of failure and destruction of our country..

And only you Mr. President, can fix it. Thank You for all that you have done and do 24/7 God Bless You and all Loyal Patriots
