There is also another thing I have been noticing, and it may sound like a conspiracy, but I mean when the government wants to, they will do whatever their economic agenda is...
It seems a few of my relatives have been complaining about doctors (different doctors, different relatives) attempting to lower or take them off of their pain medications altogether. One has had serious migraines for decades, and the her doctor has told her these "medications are bad" and we should start lowering your dose, after prescribing them for decades without an issue.
I have an uncle who has struggled with lifting both his legs while he walks due to a cervical disc injury and subsequent operation, and he is on Endone and Lyrica I think it was, and his doctor, a different one altogether has been spouting the same sort of things about lowering his dose....repeat he can not flex his thighs high enough to walk up stairs properly.
I have also noticed my very own doctor warning me about off the shelf codeine, and warning me my Tramadol (I get a script every 4 or so months prescribed due to an L5-S1 disc herniation and sciatica - 1 pill basically completely takes away the electric in the back of my thigh like magic) is not good and "laws" may change and he won't prescribe it to me anymore without "authority" - even though I average about 2 pills a week, which I need for work (construction) and the confidence they give me knowing I can stop the sciatica in its tracks if it rears its head.
I kid you not, all of these have come out of the blue and strange timing with the government announcements, and we have begun discussing this with each other after I had brought up my MM stocks and we came to this conspiracy/conclusion lol. I think cannabis is on the agenda instead of opiates now.
