Part 3 Missed…
We Chronic Pain Patients can not get our meds, or made out to be some addicts, drug testing….contemplate suicide or buy them on the street like some real druggie…and suffer in silence…
BUT they shove psychiatric brain chemistry altering drugs to children! At earlier ages. Good grief, end the freaking insanity! End the war on chronic pain patients and their Physicians.
CDC Admits Rx Opioid Deaths ‘Significantly Inflated’~2018
Researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have acknowledged that the agency’s methods for tracking overdose deaths are inaccurate and have significantly overestimated the number of Americans that have died due to prescription opioids.
In an editorial appearing in the American Journal of Public Health, four researchers in the CDC’s Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention say many overdoses involving illicit fentanyl and other synthetic black market opioids have been erroneously counted as prescription drug deaths.

CDC: Combined RX prescribed opioid overdoses with illegal synthetic fentanyl-other-synthetic-opioids-drug-overdose-deaths.
"In 2016, 63,632 persons died of a drug overdose in the United States; 66.4% (42,249) involved an opioid."
Traditionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and others have included synthetic opioid deaths in estimates of “prescription” opioid deaths. However, with [fentanyl] likely being involved more recently, estimating prescription opioid–involved deaths with the inclusion of synthetic opioid– involved deaths could significantly inflate estimates.
The Department of Health in Ohio — which has the highest number of opioid deaths in the nation — reported in 2015 that more than 80 percent of opioid deaths arose from heroin or fentanyl, up from 20 percent in 2010. Health agencies in Florida and Massachusetts report similar trends. It’s now indisputable that most recent opioid deaths result from heroin/fentanyl, not pain pills.
