Gabapentin works for nerve pain and has some psychiatric benefits for some people. It is the wrong medication for nociceptive pain. Period.
The US public is completely in the dark on this.
Chronic pain conditions are not uncommon and this is the first medication mds reach for. Not because it works and has few side effects or is inexpensive. They reach for it because the dea tells them to.
An unsuspecting public who do not understand pharmaceuticals, and have been brainwashed into believing that rx opioid pain medications are radioactive addictive rat poison death, believe that MDs are looking our for their health.
This is millions of people taking huge amounts of this toxic garbage. Maybe tens of millions. There are 40-50M chronic pain patients.
This is a national scandal. MDs are not blameless in this surely they know what they are doing to their patients.

Ok, I didn’t expect a story time on Saturday, but here we go. What I’m about to write is TRUE. It is insane, stupid, and very dumb, but it is true. Earlier today Donald J Trump, the p[resident of the United States, posted that he had offered the job of Press Secretary to Dana White. Well, it was the wrong Dana White… 🧵
I just electrocuted myself trying to unplug an old ass fridge that my in-laws pawned off on us. I definitely won’t be opening my tea bar on time this morning.
My heart rate has been slowly coming down as the day goes on. I’m still a little twitchy. What matters most is that I managed to eventually get my tea bar up and running, so I lured friends and neighbors over to hang out. Most I’ve socialized since June 2nd!
My tea bar was a total fail. By the time I got it up and running, traffic had slowed to a trickle. Luckily, I had the foresight to stick a “local honey” sign in a bush, so people were jumping out of cars and running across our yard to get some whenever I was outside.

I belong to the last generation that remembers what the world felt like before technology began consuming the human experience.
And God, what a privilege that was.
The 1980s. The 1990s. Even the early 2000s.
We lived without algorithms dictating our interests, smartphones demanding our attention, or artificial intelligence attempting to replicate what makes us human.
We got lost.
We made mistakes.
We knocked on doors.
We had conversations without distractions.
We experienced moments without feeling compelled to document them for an audience.
Life was beautifully imperfect.
And that imperfection was part of its magic.
Today, we’re racing toward a future of autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and machines designed to eliminate the inconvenience of human participation.
But when did being human become an inconvenience?
I admire technological innovation.
I even embrace some of it.
But I will never confuse convenience with fulfillment, or automation with progress.
Perhaps future generations will inherit a world of extraordinary technological sophistication.
I hope they do.
But I wonder whether they’ll ever understand what it felt like to live in a world that didn’t constantly compete for their attention.
A world where we were harder to reach, yet somehow closer together.
I’ll always value the human experience over anything technology could ever promise me.
Because the greatest thing about being alive was never how much we could automate.
It was how much we could feel. ❤️

Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

Some doctors get really offended when patients research their own health.
Meanwhile, those same doctors can’t even tell you the basics about the conditions you’ve been diagnosed with.
This is the last time we are accepting a used appliance from my husband’s family. Up to this point, everything has been old or broken - not good enough for them, but we should be grateful for their castoffs. But they tried to kill me this time. Not cool.
I had a plan for today. It’s gone totally off the rails. I’ve needed two klonopin, so it’s nap time now. The good thing about tea is that it’s ready when it’s ready. As long as I show up with a kettle, cups and a bunch of loose tea canisters shoved in a bag, I’ll be fine.
The woman who dumped event planning for a neighborhood yard sale/fall festival never got permission from the HOA board to open the gate or even hold the event. Bitch let me suggest the name “Open Gate Day” knowing the BOD had denied her request.
