Hi Steve,

I’ve been putting this ofc for quite some time, but now is appropriate, I think… Here goes…

I was a nurse in a cardiac unit for six years. On September 6, 1987 I was hurt at work, the day before Labor Day and three days before my twenty ninth birthday. We were short staffed with it being a holiday weekend, so I tried to lift a patient up in bed by myself. She was a tiny thing and was lucid. When I pulled, she grabbed the siderails…I felt horrendous pain in my lower back that shot down my left leg.

After my first laminectomy in March of 1988, I recovered and was allowed to return to work in September of that year. The hospital, in their infinite wisdom, assigned me to a dialysis floor KNOWING that I’d had surgery six months previously. I lasted five weeks before herniating another disc. More surgery, which failed…and another, and another.

Then the fusions started. After three of them where all bone, my own and donor, disintegrated, I tried a spinal cord stimulator. When it was turned on that evening, causing such muscle spasms that the leads were displaced. After a month, the doctors tried to reposition them, but to no avail. In search of relief, I explored various alternatives, including consulting with healthcare professionals about tizanidin rezeptfrei, a muscle relaxant, to address the ongoing issues with muscle spasms.

Then, in 1994, I was referred to another orthopedic surgeon who told me that he could get a fusion to work, but he would have to implant titanium. I said okay…why??? Because he dangled the “I can get you back to work” carrot under my nose.
Well, I still couldn’t work, but I suppose I was okay until 2009, when yet ANOTHER surgeon had me undergo a CT Myelogram (which was the most painful procedure I ever had!) anyway, it showed severe stenosis, failed hardware and degenerative disc disease. I had that surgery in 2010. Still no relief, except for pain meds.

In 2013, it was discovered that I had Flat Back Syndrome. The most painful SURGERY ever! Then scoliosis, more surgery. Then more surgery because of broken rods and loosened screws. Then a final, so far, surgery in 2019 because of DDD.

I’m now fused, with hardware, from T-2 down to my sacrum and out to both ileac crests. I am now 63 years old, so I have spent over half my life in constant pain. It wasn’t so bad when I was being prescribed proper medication, but we all know that’s over.

I have tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING for the pain. You name it, I have done it. I’m at the point now that I have no quality of life. I can’t do much for myself anymore, not even clean my own bottom. I have deep, dark depressions that come over me in waves. My best friend, my sister by choice, passed away four months ago from…you guessed it!!!! Complications from untreated chronic pain! Oh, how I envy her…I wish it had been me….

I’m sorry this is so long, but it’s a complicated problem that I have, along with many others. I used to be a happy, active woman… Now, all I do is read and play word games on my tablet.

Thank you for all that you do for the chronic pain community, Steve…we appreciate it.

Last night I was watching Tucker Carlson Tonight, because of it being a holiday show… he was showing “clips” from some of his Tucker Carlson Today stories which is on their streaming subscription service.

One clip was concerning Amy Nelson and her Husband, who was and executive for Amazon Web Service – Amazon’s Cloud service. It is estimated that AWS has about AT LEAST 50% of all cloud/web storage capacity IN THE WORLD.

This 60 minute story is all about just how DEEP/CORRUPT the DC SWAMP IS and how a very large corporation can falsely accuse an employee of breaking a law and getting our DOJ to use our Civil Asset Forfeiture Law…

This man was never charged with a crime, but the DOJ confiscated all the money out of the family’s checking account and because the wife also had a business, the couple only had one banking account and the DOJ ended up confiscating HER MONEY….

To pay the law firms to defend this LEGAL BS… the family ended up selling their house, their car and staying with various relatives over abt a two year period.  After about two years of all of this LEGAL BS… the DOJ returned their money to them, as long a they signed an agreement NOT TO SUE THE DOJ.

WHO labels monkeypox a ‘moderate’ public health risk

https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022-DON388

The World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled monkeypox a “moderate” public health risk, after more than 250 confirmed cases were reported across the globe.

In a statement on Sunday, the health agency said monkeypox is a “moderate” public health risk because it has been reported in varying geographical locations for the first time. The illness had typically been found in central and western African regions.

“Currently, the overall public health risk at global level is assessed as moderate considering this is the first time that monkeypox cases and clusters are reported concurrently in widely disparate WHO geographical areas, and without known epidemiological links to non-endemic countries in West or Central Africa,” the health agency wrote.

A total of 257 laboratory confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported throughout the world since May 26, according to the WHO. Roughly 120 suspected cases were reported to the health agency. There have been zero reported deaths.

Ten cases have been confirmed in the U.S., with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky saying last week that some of the infections were connected to individuals who traveled to areas that are experiencing monkeypox outbreaks.

The WHO on Sunday said it expects more cases of the disease to pop up “as surveillance expands in non-endemic countries, as well as in countries known to be endemic who have not recently been reporting cases.”

“The sudden appearance and wide geographic scope of many sporadic cases indicates that widespread human-to-human transmission is already underway, and the virus may have been circulating unrecognized for several weeks or longer,” the health agency added.

Monkeypox is spread through prolonged skin-to-skin contact. Symptoms include lesions, which spread the disease, fever, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes and fatigue.

The WHO on Sunday said cases of monkeypox have primarily been reported among men who have sex with men.

While the top monkeypox expert at the WHO, Rosamund Lewis, has said she does not think the disease will turn into a pandemic, she recognized that much remains unknown about the illness, including how it is spreading across the globe and if stopping smallpox vaccinations several years ago is driving the transmission of monkeypox.

State AG Perspective: Exposing the Truth

https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/blog/

Guest post by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella, New York Attorney General Letitia James, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, and Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares

Today’s disclosure of more than a million documents from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, one of the country’s most prolific opioid sellers, is an important step to expose the truth and prevent a manmade crisis like the opioid epidemic from ever happening again.

Drug companies profited by pushing dangerous prescription opioids, and Americans have become the biggest users of opioids in the world. Communities across our nation suffered the consequences as a result: addiction, overdose, and death.

Families most impacted by the crisis have led the way in advocating for justice. Parents whose own children died because of the opioid crisis have dedicated years of their lives to protect others. They demanded that lawbreakers be held accountable, failed systems be reformed, and urgent investments be made for harm reduction, treatment, recovery, and prevention.

State Attorneys General heard the calls for action and acted. Working together, across party lines and across the nation, our teams conducted a searching investigation of illegal conduct throughout the opioid industry. We filed lawsuits and won verdicts from judges and juries, forcing companies to pay tens of billions of dollars that will be dedicated to address the crisis.

An essential part of justice is exposing the truth. Our teams pursued that truth for years. Our efforts resulted in the public disclosure of millions of documents and of the critical facts revealed by witnesses ranging from drug sales reps to company presidents.

We rejected the companies’ attempts to keep the evidence sealed, or to hand it back to the perpetrators. Instead, we posted it online.

For the first time in a generation, since the landmark tobacco cases, an industry’s secrets are being turned over to the public. Under orders entered by courts throughout the nation, millions of opioid industry documents will be posted in a free public archive, in perpetuity.

The families who suffered in this crisis will be able to see for themselves the evidence that we uncovered – the company emails, board minutes, and business plans that changed so many lives.

Journalists, filmmakers, artists, and scholars will tell the story of this epidemic using the real words and actions of the people who drove the opioid business.

Policymakers throughout the country will be informed by what went wrong.

Executives, directors, and employees in every industry will know that, if they break the law and endanger the public, the whole world may see what they did.

Today is a step toward justice. We are grateful to the advocates who demanded action in the face of a devastating crisis, to our staff who work every day to serve the public, and to the archivists at the University of California San Francisco and Johns Hopkins who will preserve this evidence for the public good.

This showed up in my inbox today.  This letter was dated before the CDC 2016 guidelines were published. We really don’t know when those guidelines were actually created… since there was NO PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.  According to the date on this letter,  at least the 6 members of the House of Representatives that signed this letter was aware the guidelines were in the early stage of being composed or already finished. I wonder if some of the questions that were asked were ever answered ? Notice that the six signatures at the bottom of the letter is three from each political party.  Of course, the head of the CDC Thomas Frieden knew his years at the agency were most likely numbered.  Pres Obama was “tapped out” and could not run for reelection and we would have a new president in Jan 2017 and he would be looking for a new job.  The CDC amended their name in 1992 with the permission of Congress https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00017924.htm and since the 2016 guidelines per published… the OD’s from opiates – mostly illegal fentanyl from China/Mexico – has jumped several fold.  While the CDC tracks the number of OD’s involving opiates… there seems to be little/no data kept on chronic pain pts that have died prematurely from complication of their existing comorbidity health issues from having their opiates reduced/eliminated because of the CDC 2016 guidelines, or chronic pain pts suicides that were reported as a opiate OD’s because their toxicology showed a opiate… I guess just like the DEA has been a 50 yr failure in the war on drugs, the CDC seems to be following down the same path as a failure in the PREVENTION of opiate abuse, hell… they were not even able to PREVENT the increase in opiate abuse & OD’s.

So… the ONLY thing that has been reported through the Mainstream Media is that a small number of cases have been found in the US – which is somewhat a new phenomenon, since it’s disease usually limited to Africa. Additionally, those few cases seem to be of some concern, because none of those cases are found in people who have traveled to Africa.

NO ONE IS SOUNDING ANY ALARM. At all. No one. Not the CDC or NIH or even the US Government. And certainly not the Media.

So, why the bullshit conspiracy crap?

Because it’s all a big HOAX? The small number of people who apparently have it, don’t? Seriously?

That’s right… THE EVIL GOVERNMENT IS AFTER YOU!

Just like the Lizard People walking among us. Or the Jewish Cabal – no doubt lead by George Soros – and libertards who are bringing Brown and Black immigrants to replace White Americans and take over the Vote. All while operating Space Lasers and covertly running the world’s banking system. Right?

Good God.

If you’re so worried about mayhem, stop causing it. Such idiocy.
