    Love the DPF!
    Bev and Claudia put on such such a great podcast. It’s a shame we live in a world where opioids have been so stigmatized. I really wish there were more people like Bev and Claudia advocating and shedding light into the world of pain patients and the damage the DEA has caused to Pain management. My only complaint is I want more uploads! haha. I listen to you guys at work religiously. Thank you for all you do.

    Hope
    This podcast is hope, not only for those in excruciating pain, and doctors who want to help, but for those of us who love our family members with uncontrolled pain. We feel helpless when witnessing their unending suffering. Thank you so much! I will be sharing this with as many people as possible.

    Necessary Information!
    This is critical information for the pain community! Claudia & Bev are doing an excellent job covering crucial topics for the chronic pain community. I really hope that you will highlight the barbaric atrocities happening in the hospital setting. I would like to see a page or site dedicated to the top offenders in the country! They deserve their moment in the spotlight. Great job ladies. You give us hope.
  • pdcali38
    Great Interview with Dr. Carl Hart!!
    I really enjoyed Bev and Claudia's interview with Dr. Hart about his enjoyable life split 50/50 between the US and Switzerland, as well as the very unique experience how Switzerland handles opioids compared to the US. It's definitely worth a listen!
  • Cappyden
    When Politics interferes with…
    … pain management the results are often disastrous. After 22 years of patient advocacy here in Washington DC, I have literally witnessed hundreds of untold tragedies just like this one. How is it that we in the CPC (Chronic Pain Community) are more often than not treated like common criminals rather than real patients with chronic diseases seeking treatment? We never set out to be like this, we never had an interest in addictive drugs, and yet government officials have pigeonholed our community as malingering drug addicts ONLY because it earns them a votes from their ignorant constituents.

    Outstanding Podcasts
    The Narxcare podcasts are amazing and so choc full of great information. I do want to mention that Bev’s voice is cutting out at the end of both Narxcare episodes😢. I love your podcasts and appreciate all the work you do for pain patients and doctors. Thank you🙏.

    Doctor Patient Forum
    Loved it. Great job Ladies . I been treated like a drug addict and yes animals have more passion then us patients . I have a pain pump like a man’s wallet . It’s empty and beeping . People always asking what is that noise . I was abused by the Dr. With the pain pump and the bill cost over $100,000 . My portion was $5000. But the pain pump my blood pressure would drop . I had someone in my family that was a heroine addict got mad at me cause I kicked them out my house and she and my son stole my medicine and called my Dr. And said I was selling my meds . I was a self made millionaire he should have believed me . I had awards taking care of orphans and etc. And if he would have looked up that person he would have seen her arrest .
