Mom, Wife, Chronic Pain Patient for 27 years
I'm a 49 year old Chronic Pain Patient. I've been sufffering with pain since I was 22 years old. I have Tarlov Cyst Disease and Interstitial Cystitis. I've been with my husband Zach for 31 years, 25 years married (college sweethearts). I have a 19 year old daughter Sophia who goes to University of Michigan and 14 year old son Griffin that is a Freshman in High school. I've been on Antidepressants, Anticonvulsants, Toradol Shots. Tried accupucture, Nerve blocks, Homeopathic medicine, cryotherapy etc.. I've been offered many opioids for many years but chose not to take them. Nothing really worked for the pain. In 2022 I got in a bad car accident and it made my nerve pain so severe that I could barely get out of bed. Out of desperation my husband encouraged me to talk with his best friends wife who had been using Kratom tea for over 5 years for Endometriosis. . She basically was my guide on how and who to buy from. I started very slow 1 gram and tried different strains and vendors. I noticed that the Green Strain was the only one that touched the pain. I now take 3.5 grams 5 days a week usually once a day. I've been able to go back to work full-time after working part-time for over 11 years. I've been able to be the mom and wife I've always wanted to be because Kratom has given my life back.
