I have been in treatment for almost a year by my llmd. I am doing much better than I was! My flares are not as strong as they used to be ect...One thing I still battle with is chronic lower back pain and stiffness. This was the very first symptom I started with in feb 2014 before finally being diagnosed in november 2014. It so bad some days I can hardly bend over and put my shoes on. When I am having a flare, which still happens once a week or so, the back pain gets soooo bad it makes my hips hurt and even my abs. I have tried a ton of things with no luck. I was wandering if anyone had a suggestion for this. I was recently able to start running again and its the only thing that helps , it will come back 30 min after though.
THANKS!!!! :-)

Google kratom.

It works for real. I got off prescription pain meds with it.

where did you get it

They actually sell it at my local health store but there's tons of online vendors.

A lot of head and smoke shops sell it but I would probably order it online instead. Look here for some vendors:

I had another lingering symptom of one of my hands staying freezing cold all of the time and I was turned on to red root. I started using it and within a week It helped tremendously!!! This web site is great and the people on it are full of great info!
Thanks again!

Thanks man! No prob! I tried some red root capsules but haven't seen much relief for my cold extremities. I prob should have opted for the tincture instead.

Kratom will def surprise you at how effective it is.

I thought I would give the Kratom a try and just got it in the mail. I am confused about the amount to take and how often . any advice will be appreciated.

I'd say start off with a tablespoon or around 4-6 grams.

You can take it daily but the effectiveness may wear off if you take it often so you might have to switch up strains. You may try 2 smaller doses per day.

It's not too pleasant tasting. I'd recommend taking it with orange juice, or anything but water

ok thank you

Hey there,
New here but just wanted to ask what strain you use for pain? Is that ok to ask? I tried reading some of the info on strains/dosages and got so bogged down with Lyme brain that I thought I would just ask. :)

I would suggest that you do extensive research before using this. There are a lot of well written articles that warn of it's dangers.

what have you read/heard travelor
i did read a lot about it and found no where that warned of side effects or habit forming
Posted 10/14/2015 6:13 PM (GMT 0)
I haven't done a lot of research into it, but I do understand the need for caution with these things. There are lots of claims of addiction: /goo.gl/dn6LLS

And I read this article today: /www.erowid.org/plants/kratom/kratom_journal3.shtml

It's actually difficult to get past all the sites that sell this in a search for information, but that doesn't make it good for us, especially since we are already so debilitated usually.

Does this mean that it's harmful? Not necessarily, just be aware of the risks and don't over use it.
