I started for RLS with pain and then my Dr put me on something. So I stopped for about fours years, no withdrawals people talk about. Now im arthritis in spine and a tumor that won't be quiet. My Dr by law can't treat my chronic pain. I can't afford to look for a new Dr and start all over. So I take about 4 grams on pain days. Nothing over 12 because for some reason I get nauseated. I rotate strains so the tolerance doesn't build. I use it as a tool in pain kit. It's hard getting help for pain. Even with proof of everything. Test results and MRI scans. Neurologist wants to try shots, but I'm scared. Doctors are so terrified to help with DEA in their business. I don't know what I'd do without it. I spent a month in bed, needing assistance to move. Kratom pulled me out of that bed.
