About 9 years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Pain due to Fibromyalgia. I tried many of the doctor prescribed medications, and found either little-to-no relief, or bad side effects. Over the next year or so, my life was on a rapid downward trajectory. I had gone from being able to work full time, to struggling to work 20 hours a week delivering pizzas. I was unable to get out of bed on my days off. Unable to visit my family. Unable to see my friends. And I was taking 8,000-10,000mg of Ibuprofen and even then, still struggling with pain and fatigue. I was starting to think I couldn't do it anymore. I didn't want to do it anymore. I was tired of the pain.

Then my best friend told me about Kratom. He used to it break his addiction to pain killers, but informed me that people also use it for pain management. After much reading on chronic pain and fibromyalgia forums, I knew what I needed to order; Green Maeng Da Kratom. A little more time spent finding a trusted reseller, and I was on my way to a new life. Over the next 6-12 months, I carefully tested dosages and methods for taking the Kratom powder. Finally I found a dosage and schedule that I've stuck to for the last ~8 years. And in that time, I'm back to working full time (usually 50-60 hours a week) with a new career in IT making more than 4 times what I used to make and continuing my education. I'm able to be there for my father, sister, nephew, aunt, and elderly grandparents. I'm able to do not only the things I need to do, but I am now able to do the things that I want to do. I love my life now. And I truly don't know what I would do if I lost my safe, legal access to Kratom.

I'm really excited to see where my life goes, but I don't think I'll get there if my chronic pain comes back.
