How to Be Resourceful in Chronic Pain - Episode 78 The Missing Conversation

In this episode, Robert and Dave take the conversation in a new direction to discuss the crucial issue of using controlled substances for medications for those in critical need. At the same time, they will be suggesting guidelines and safeguards to prevent addiction while still providing pathways to find maximum relief and equilibrium for those with chronic pain and long-term sleep challenges. The goal is to find the optimum quality of life, which often includes the use of medications to alleviate chemical or physical maladies our bodies cannot manage on their own.
This topic is more than personal to Robert as he pursued finding the right combinations of medications after a severe reaction to kidney transplant medications for nearly a decade. Through his experience, he provides tools to learn how to advocate for ourselves. It can also be invaluable to have somebody close to you that can guide the communication with doctors so we can best take care of serious life issues. The corruption of big pharma, as depicted in Dope Sick, has created an understandable wave of panic throughout the country. Robert and Dave address the effects this has had on the way controlled substances are prescribed for those with chronic pain and long-term sleep issues, and how we can navigate our way at these critical times
