Look up “breakthrough pain” a phrase Purdue Pharma coined to allow them to push increased sales/dosages of OxyContin to an already addicted Group of people. Seems pretty convenient that our federal government and pharmaceutical companies are using the term “breakthrough infection” to describe infections after getting the jab to push the boosters. There is a great docudrama starring Michael Keaton called “Dopesick” that shows how Purdue made up the phrase to continue pushing their drug and increasing addiction. Now the term is mainstream and pushing toward normalcy with unlimited boosters. Purdue Pharma ended up in bankruptcy after the plethora of lawsuits showing how they manipulated the data to cause people to be addicted to opiates. Now the same people who can no longer get the OxyContin are addicted to heroin because that is the closest to the same high as the OxyContin (our small town heroin problem). Big surprise… not that that has anything to do with the subject at hand but it just shows how the pharmaceutical companies are willing to manipulate data and make up terms to continue to bolster their sales. Follow the money.
If there was no such thing as “breakthrough pain”, pain & suffering legal awards would be based mainly on the cost of the pills.
Go peddle this crap at D.U.
Most pain care patients aren’t lookin for a “high”.
anybody says breakthrough pain isn’t real, has never, experienced real pain...
been there, done that...
I’ve been “breakthrough” invection-free for almost two years. Proudly.
It’s an interesting comparison with the word “breakthrough”. Though I’d submit to you breakthrough pain is real; having to do with people suffering debilitating ailments taking slow release pain meds that sometimes require a shorter acting pain medication at various intervals because the blood concentration from the slow acting medicine is too low or their tolerance becomes too high.
All said, the narrative around covid had to be about “breakthrough cases” because they have been using the wrong words most of the time. Calling these “vaccines” implied they would stop infection and many of the loud voices said they would stop the spread. They don’t do that at all, but instead of admit that they decided to call them “breakthrough cases”. They aren’t. They are just cases. The vaccines don’t stop the virus. Only now are people coming around to admit it.

exactly
thank you
Not sure what D.U. Is and I’m not saying breakthrough pain doesn’t exist. What I’m saying is that the term was coined by a company trying to peddle its products to increase profits. Thus increasing addiction. Nice try though.
#6, THAT!
Some people are under the mistaken impression you aren’t abusing drugs if you get them from the ER or a doctor.
My point missed by some is the Purdue invented a term for continued increase in prescriptions and profits. The same term “breakthrough “ is being used by pharmaceutical companies to justify multiple/never ending boosters of a product that doesn’t work. Not a slight against anyone. Just point of fact.
Everything I spoke of is directed at OxyContin, Perdue was knowingly watching something described as “pill mills” being set up to peddle their product to keep their addicts addicted and welcome/encourage new addicts.
I know.
I also know someone that is on pain pills, he’d go through a 30-day prescription in 15 days and go to the ER for more pain pills.
But if you ask him, he isn’t abusing them, because he’s getting them from a doctor and, what’s more, Medicaid is paying for them.
It’s not like he’s going to a drug dealer and paying his own money for drugs...
Yea, that’s what this guy really thinks. I think the pain pills have messed up his head.

Nailed it on both issues.
Being dependent on pain killers is not the same as being addicted. When I had cervical stenosis years ago I was on oxy for 3 months. I could not function without it. Fortunately for me I was able to start lessening the dosage after the first shot to the neck. Never got a buzz just knocked down the pain. Now my PCP would have to refer me to a pain specialist who does not know me.
