For years now, pain has been the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting more than 50 million Americans annually. This isn't the kind of pain you endure when you trip onto the pavement, scab, bruise and heal. It's the persistent gnawing, aching, throbbing that happens over a long period of time. This is chronic pain. One of the most powerful and effective forms of treatment for pain is the safe use of opioids. Opioids in combination with other therapies have allowed those hindered by pain to live full and vibrant lives, but the stigma around opioid use was exacerbated in 2016 due to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, that both seriously discouraged doctors from prescribing these drugs and also over attributed the prescription of them as the cause of addiction and overdose. While opioids are not a one-size fits all pain reliever, the rollback on prescriptions has disproportionately impacted people with disabilities, people of color, women, and incarcerated folks. Kate Nicholson, founder of the National Pain Advocacy Center, believes now is the time to course-correct. Pain relief, in her view, is a civil right.

Kate Nicholson, Associate Director of Student Wellness, drops by the recording studio to talk with Holden and Juliette about the path to her position and her approach to feeling grounded throughout the school year. About the photo shown here, during a Qi Gong workshop on Bradbury Mountain, Kate (center) says, "Having a strong sense of place as well as strong sense of Self are both important practices in grounding - grounding into the present moment, grounding into your body, grounding into what's important to you, etc. These all feel like guideposts to true wellness, and I adore this photo embodying that."

Fifty million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Most of us know what happened when pharmaceutical opioids were over-marketed and overprescribed in the United States but few people appreciate how far the pendulum has now swung in the opposite direction, with many doctors now refusing to prescribe opioids even to patients who have clearly benefited from them. Kate Nicholson served as a civil rights attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice for 18 years, during which time she developed intractable pain that left her unable to sit or stand and barely able to walk for nearly two decades. She recently started an organization, the National Pain Advocacy Center (NPAC), to advance the health and human rights of people in pain. This is an issue I'm passionate about, which is why I recently joined NPAC's advisory board.I'll talk to Kate today about her own experience with this topic, the various ways states and doctors have restricted the prescribing of opioids, and what makes this a particularly American problem.Listen to this episode and let me know what you think.

An interview with Kate Nicholson, a civil rights attorney, advocate, and person in pain.

Kate Nicholson is a civil rights rights attorney, an arts activist, and, recently, a writer and speaker. She served in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice for more than twenty years and is a nationally-recognized expert on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). And then it changed…Kate was thrust into the personal lived experience of severe, chronic pain and disability, something as an ADA lawyer she was all too familiar with professionally but not personally. As a self-described “Type A”, Kate struggled with maintaining her professional identity, her passion for advocacy and change, along with her need to slow down and listen to her body and its new limitations.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - The world is reeling after a deadly attack on Muslim worshippers in New Zealand. The shootings at two mosques in Christchurch left 50 people dead and dozens injured. First, Roy is joined by Raheel Raza to try and comprehend the senseless violence that unfolded on Friday. And then Roy is joined by Professor Mohammad Fadel, who is an expert on the subject of islamophobia, to speak about the political climate that has contributed to the rise of racist violence. And houses of worship have seemingly become targets for those who wish to commit the most evil acts of violence. Imam Luqman Ahmed says that attacks like the ones in New Zealand on Friday are caused by misconceptions about Muslims and the Islamic faith. He joins the podcast to elaborate on this.   A Leger Marketing poll for the Journal de Montreal has found that more Quebec voters are beginning to turn away from the Liberals and are shifting their support to the CPC. The poll also found that support for the Greens has almost doubled, while the NDP, Bloc Quebecois and PPC are all seeing a decline in supporters. Roy gets more on this from Christian Bourque, Executive VP, Leger Marketing. Meanwhile, the Liberals on the parliamentary justice committee quickly shut down an emergency meeting that was called by opposition parties who were looking to call Jody Wilson-Raybould back to speak before the committee. Yet in a letter to constituents on Thursday, Wilson-Raybould made it clear that she intends to run again as a Liberal Party candidate in the October federal election. Michael Cooper, CPC MP and member of the parliamentary justice committee speaks with Roy about these developments. Graham is a 31-year-old Canadian who is suffering from chronic pain due to Lyme disease. He wrote a letter to Roy saying that his doctor is retiring and he's afraid he's going to become the next victim of the opioid epidemic. A British medical review revealed more than 25 million people globally die every year, spending their last moments in in severe pain because they have little or no access to opioid pain medication. Kate Nicholson is and activist and former chronic pain patient as well as a former U.S. Justice Department civil rights attorney. She drafted the current regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and authored the op-ed piece: “Clampdown on opioids is hurting pain patients”, and contributed to a critical review "60 Minutes Fails to Represent Pain Patient Perspective.” Roy has invited both Graham and Kate to share their stories, and their insights on the crisis those with chronic pain face on a daily basis. - Guests: Raheel Raza, consultant for Interfaith and Intercultural diversity, first Muslim woman in Canada to lead a mixed gender prayers, received a standing ovation in Canada's parliament for her speech - "Celebrating our differences" Professor Mohammad Fadel, Associate Professor and Toronto Research Chair for the Law and Economics of Islamic Law, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto Imam Luqman Ahmed, with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at of Canada Christian Bourque, Executive VP, Leger Marketing Michael Cooper, CPC MP and member of the parliamentary justice committee Graham, chronic pain patient Kate Nicholson, activist and former chronic pain patient, former U.S. Justice Department civil rights attorney, drafted the current regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, author of the op-ed piece: “Clampdown on opioids is hurting pain patients”, as well as contributing to a critical review "60 Minutes Fails to Represent Pain Patient Perspective See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roy looks at the Canadian and U.S. perspectives on the treatment of chronic pain patients. Some who suffer from chronic pain consider suicide because they are being refused their long-standing prescriptions, and meanwhile doctors are afraid that prescribing the medication will lead to them losing their licenses. This is the case in Canada, and a similar struggle is taking place to the south. Guests: Marvin Ross, medical writer and publisher, has been covering chronic pain for the past year for the Huffington Post.

New medical guidelines recommend treating opioid addiction with prescription medication like pharmaceutical-grade heroin. Meanwhile, close to 70 million North Americans living with chronic pain continue to face having their opioid medication cut or refused, which severely impacts their ability to live a life without excruciating pain. Guest: Kate Nicholson, Former U.S. Department of Justice human rights lawyer and chronic pain patient who advocates for pain patients​ (Photo: Rich Pedroncelli/The Canadian Press/AP) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TEDx speaker Kate Nicholson discusses her journey with chronic pain, and how opioid treatment helped her in her healing process. Kate discusses how, on the right dose of pain medicine, she drafted the current regulations under the ADA, coordinated with the White House and supervised thousands of cases by hundreds of attorneys across the country from a screen and well-camouflaged bed.  Kate shares her thoughts on opioid treatment for chronic pain and the need to factor in the needs of those with chronic pain in the conversation around opioids and addiction. 

There continues to be a lack of media coverage on the struggles faced by chronic pain patients who rely on prescribed opioid medication to simply get by on a day-to-day basis.
