So that's my deal: Advocating for pain care. Working to stop those who threaten it and to advance policies & legislation to support it. I will never assert anything about pain management or addiction that I cannot back up w/sources - & I'll cite a ton of sources.

People should trust that their pain will be effectively treated, and medical professionals should trust that they can treat their patients w/o fear of persecution for simply doing their jobs.

The advocacy group I co-run helps to ensure chronic pain patients (ok all pain patients) receive individualized healthcare. Each person deserves access to ALL the tools in the toolbox. Each person & their provider(s) should determine which therapy/therapies are most safe & effective for THEM.

Sadly, access to the world's most effective RX analgesic has been drastically reduced, especially for those disabled by pain.

You'll see a lot from me about this.

#Introduction I am Rose and I live in the glorious (and damp) Pacific Northwest with one goofy dog.

I worked in tech for 25 years locally before becoming disabled by health issues.

Now I co-run a patient advocacy group in Washington state (when I can) to help shape healthcare policy and legislation to ensure people with pain - and their providers - are not negatively impacted by people who don't know PAIN.
