We'll need a lot of data to break the #chronicpain cycle. This is what we are here for: aumics.org/

IV Tylenol for postop pain management = worse #outcomes across several types of surgeries accpjournals.onlinelibrary.w… #KSPain #opioids #painmanagement

Yes, very important concepts! Pain Pt: You matter; you’re important; you’re valued! Study also demonstrates why the unjust discrimination against chronic pain pts ginned up by anti-opiate zealots is so harmful & damaging to pain pts! @KeithNHumphreys @AndrewKolodny @supportprop xitter.cf/drnickvk/status/984880…
Most common #painkiller has unexpected effects on #neurosteroid #hormones, @humanlongevity study reveals. This is in line with several reports of alterations in sulfated hormones in #chronicpain prnewswire.com/news-releases…
The ultimate #metabolomics: tracking every atom going in an out of your body. The study found that participants on #calorie-restricted #diet used energy much more efficiently while sleeping than did the control group. xitter.cf/indbio/status/97721717…
Most comprehensive study yet demonstrates that cutting people’s energy intake dials down their metabolism.

New company @PreciselyWell founded by @LindaAvey (co-founder of @23andMe) is pushing the boundaries of #PrecisionMedicine, with a focus on #neurology, #MEcfs and #autism precise.ly/
#Metabolomics helps diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome and reveals unexpected biology: pnas.org/content/113/37/E547… we'll go into more detail on this one, stay tuned! #me #cfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #chronicpain

This is an important statement from the International Association for the Study of Pain. Welcome to the widespread realization of the revised role for #opioids. And thanks for the shout-out for a #BioPsychoSocial approach. xitter.cf/kpl7842/status/9660629…
It's time we marry responsible medication usage with alternatives that affect long term and lasting relief from pain

"We need more sensitive, objective, and relevant ways to detect the onset, severity, and progression or stability of #neurological disorders."- @VerilyLife blog.verily.com/2018/02/acce… #Parkinsons #microbiome @TBCMicrobes
There are better options to move away from #opioids than the forced cold turkey method, with its severe #withdrawal capable of pushing people over the edge bloomberg.com/news/articles/… xitter.cf/StanfordMed/status/966…
New Stanford study suggests that a voluntary opioid tapering program may be a good strategy for many #opioid users with chronic pain: stan.md/2Gws8UW #ChronicPain
Can you please share your experience with #pain diaries? Paper/electronic/app? What do you like about them, and what features do you feel are missing? everydayhealth.com/pain-mana… #PatientExperience #chronicpain #spoonie
Alarming but excellent story by @KateNicholson14: thehill.com/opinion/healthca… May sound ridiculous to those in #pain, but we need tools to document&prove the legitimate need for pain meds. Sometimes #opioids is what allows you to function!

#HappyMonday! Time for afternoon #caffeine fix? Fun #metabolomics fact: older people drink 100 times more #coffee? No, caffeine #metabolism slows down with age, leading to more caffeine excreted in urine unchanged. #bodychem
Things that help make your own happy chemicals (endorphins, derived from “endogenous morphine”):

Chronic pain causes depression and depression causes chronic pain. Some pts treat depression with opioids. Though certainly not recommended, opioids may well be temporarily effective for depression. A next generation of antidepressants may address the endogenous opioid system.

Another #ValentineDay discovery. It is hard to understate the impact of this one little #metabolite. xitter.cf/sfamtweets/status/9637…
Sir Alexander Fleming announced his discovery of the mold byproduct penicillin on this day in 1929. His paper only tentatively suggested that penicillin “may be an efficient antiseptic” against some bacteria. #ValentinesDay
Lots of love to all #chronicpain warriors! #ValentinesDay2018 compoundchem.com/2017/02/14/… @compoundchem

Thomas Edison (born on this day in 1847) believed in #prevention and #diet. People in #pain may be less enthusiastic about the other famous quote...
