After over a decade of dealing with chronic pain due to trauma injury and degenerative disease I could no longer handle prescription pain medication, which I was on maximum doses of multiple medications. I converted to Kratom six years ago. My pain will never be gone but this helps curb it to where I am functional. I am only 43. This supplement has given me back life. I have no euphoric effects. I have not had to continually increase dose to account for tolerance. Aside from pain I have autoimmune disease and neurological disease which have been treated since I was 18. This has not interacted with the medications I am on to control these and other physical issues. My laboratory work ups have been great. So minimal side effects. I would be dead if not for Kratom. I recommend it to anyone I can. When before a judge and physician for disability hearings, my switch to Kratom was applauded. They know the effects of these prescription pain medications, but also understand those that are in true pain must control it somehow. There are other uses for this supplement and anyone needing access should have it readily available. Save Kratom!!
