I was talking with another mail carrier at my work and I have tried everything for pain even vicadin and other pills dont work or I have to take so much of them because of my tolerance being so high it makes me not want to so I dont get hooked on them. Anyway, I am so excited this mail carrier told me about Kratom they sell at reputable vape shops. They have different strains for different ailments and its natural. It comes from a tree in asia and they grind it up in a powder you can take by pill, tea, or buy the actual powder to mix in foods. I suggest buying the capsules and start slow to see what your body can handle. It has been a godsend so I can work. I still have my bad days but they are becoming fewer thanks to dr and kratom. I buy the red meagnda strain as it gives me ton of energy, I take 2 pills every four hours while im working and if I want to sleep at night I can take the bali strain which is like a sedative without the croggy side effects in the morning. I go to Vape Super Center as they will be very informative about what kind you should get. Its about 40 bucks for 250 capsules which last me a long time. Once you get information from them you can go on Golden Monk website and they have discounts I bought a 500 capsule bag of the bali for 30 well worth the money and I can honestly say it gives me energy and relieves my pain. I was recently diagnosed with RA and gastrparesis, and colonic inertia which has been debilitating this year. I finally have my life back and want to go out to enjoy things more so than I had :) give it a try I recommend to everyone going through what we do

Just got a new diagnosis of Scoliosis to go with my Lupus. Both knees need to be replaced and both wrists are shot, one is fused. I use cannabis oil for pain orally, along with a topical cannabis infused oil which elevates pain immediately. Starting physical therapy soon. Thai massage is the best help.
