The FDA recently approved a new non-opioid pain medication called Journavx (suzetrigine) for treating moderate to severe acute pain in adults. This medication works by blocking pain signals before they reach the brain, making it a promising alternative to opioids.

I wanted to add, though it's $1000/month, yeah, ridiCulous! Let's make a fantastic new pain mediction that is non addictive that noone can afford, BAH. HOWEVER, actually, ,when it's not covered, then you can get it covered under their program, for $30/month.


OKAY, LET ME SHOUT THIS TO THE ROOFTOP GUYS!!!

THERE HASN'T BEEN A NEW PAIN MEDICATION FOR 25 YEARS!!! Not since Celebrex has their been this type of new frontier type of medication for those of us in chronic pain. It's acts on the sodium channel. Bionerd, will know about this. It ACTUALLY BLOCKS ANY SENSATION FROM THE NERVE ON THE SPINAL COLUMN!!!! Kind of like the new NOVACAINE, movie.
So, a 7 pain, according to their studies, comes down to a 3.5!!!!!! NEVER, have I ever, been able to be a 3.5 y'all. I get real insurance, hell yeah, i'm on this.

Can I get anyone to respond to this??

think it's breakthrough sh((((t, quite honestly.

I read about it a while back. I doubt Medicare drug plans will cover it. So frustrating when they come out with this stuff and no one can afford it.
