New call to action!

Vice News from the TV Channel Viceland has reported some stories that are on our side as far as the “opioid epidemic.” I would love to see them do a full show on our cause. This is where you come in! They have a phone number where you can call and leave a message, essentially about anything…this is what we would like you to do.

Call 646-851-0347 and leave a message. Please choose option 1. I suggest you write down what you want to say instead of winging it, that way you know you cover the information that is important. Below is a suggestion of what you should include in your message.

1. Your name and number number (if you are not comfortable leaving your number that is okay, but hopefully they will contact some of us back.

2. State that you are calling as a chronic pain patient and want to dispute the false narrative that the mainstream media is propagating about opioids in America.

3. Explain why you need opioids and how the current hysteria over opioids is affecting your life and report if you have had your meds cut or discontinued. Be specific but do not ramble. try to be concise.

4. Ask them to please do a show sharing the plight of chronic pain patients because no one is telling our side of the story.

This is an easy call to action and imagine the impact if they get 500 calls from us……or 1000. PLEASE participate. No one has the right to complain about the situation if they are not actively trying to change it. No one will fight for us, WE have to fight for ourselves. Please try to do this within the next two weeks. It will make a stronger impression if all the calls come at once. Help make our voices heard!
