Don’t Punish Pain Rally to be held Sept. 18, 2018 at Nevada Legislative Building
Pain Warriors Unite! Join us on September 18, 2018, at the Nevada State Legislative Building, 401 S. Carson, Carson City, Nevada, from 12-2PM for the Second Annual Nationwide “Don’t Punish Pain Rally”, to protest the neglect of people in pain by the CDC Guildelines and the new Nevada laws targeting the chronically ill and pain patients.
While attempting to rein in the abuse and misuse of illegal/illicit drugs, the federal government and State of Nevada have implemented policy that have caused great harm to Americans in genuine need of legitimately prescribed FDA-approved pain medications.“The CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain were released in 2016. These guidelines were meant to ONLY provide recommendations for primary care clinicians who prescribe opioids for chronic pain outside of active cancer treatment, palliative care, and end-of-life care.” Nevada Law has been tied to these guidelines.
After the release of the CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, millions of chronic pain patients went to follow-up appointments and discovered their provider would no longer treat chronic pain. Veterans, who have fought for our country, were told and continue to be told that they would no longer receive opioid pain medications for traumatic battlefield injuries and are left to suffer.
Come make your voices heard!!
