I was placed on pain medication at the early age of 9yrs old after years of trying to control my migraines. Years later, I was in a car accident which caused frozen shoulder blades which then led to degenerative & cervical disc disease, herniated & bulging disc's bone spurs on the spine and now scoliosis as an adult. That started my long list of chronic pain issues living with 10 out of 20 of the most painful conditions to live with , trigeminal being one (aks suicide disease) I was told it's pain management for life. Fast forward 30yrs on pain meds, 10 on anxiety, depression & blood pressure meds. 2013 I had lost my Mom to the hands of big pharma and their meds while she was being treated in a pain clinic for back issues less than mine. Her death was ruled acute intoxication of morphine and Tramadol. She didn't abuse them, she took less, but the build of of 8 months of meds took her life. That was the beginning to my search for holistic ways to treat myself as it was a fight to get any pain meds, nor did they really help much. May 5th 2016 I took my first dose of kratom. It was the most relief I had felt since prior to my accident. My life has been given back to me thanks to kratom.
