Capital Area Opioid & Pain Conference “Opioids: Engaging Our Community in the New Reality”

February 4, 2020 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

Inaugural Opioid and Pain Conference focused on engaging the community with innovative strategies to manage pain and collaborative initiatives to combat the opioid crisis. I am grateful to facilitate two panels important to me: 1) State of-the-art approaches to managing pain without narcotics, and 2) Recovery-oriented criminal justice efforts which can foster not just an absence of criminal behavior but help to restore a human being to a fully functional life. Tomorrow at Michigan State University.

FREE Naloxone/Narcan day — no questions asked

September 14, 2019 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

Promoting FREE Naloxone/Narcan day. Luke, the Rite Aid pharmacist, was great.  Gave me my free box of 2 with no questions asked, no prescription, and showed me how to use.  

As a Michigan Prescription Drug Abuse Commission member, we learned that 130 people a DAY die from opioid abuse in the U.S. This nasal spray can reverse an overdose while happening. I added link to an article with how-to-use video and a list of pharmacies providing free kit today, Sat. 9/14.

“We do what we must” is the motto of the 2019 Coraggio Spirit Award recipient. “Assuming this is my one life and one chance to fight for it, so I must keep trying.” is her message. “I must keep trying.” is a foundation of the Coraggio theme to take charge of any aspect of a dire situation. With 5 intubations for breathing and 8 weeks of hospitalization because of myasthenia already this year, Ashley uses humor and positive messages in Facebook posts or with those she meets. For her courageous determination do what she must to take charge for her one life and one chance to fight for it, Ashley Cotten is awarded MG-MI’s 2019 Coraggio spirit award!
