Kratom Success Stories Needed for Florida

Sounds like a great idea. I've been wondering how I could get involved with helping this cause. I've received tremendous benefits from kratom and I really want to share.

First off, a little about me: I'm a 33 year old Male who has been living in Florida my entire life. Also an understanding of my pain profile would be helpful to understand all this in the right perspective: I was in a car accident 13 years ago where I went 85 into a guardrail at a 45 degree angle. With no seat belt on. I was thrown into the passenger side door and I tore my labrum, misplaced 3 ribs and torn the muscle underneath my scapula. Since that accident and compounded by fibromyalgia that I've had all my life I was given pain killers in Florida. I went down that path because they enabled me to be productive. I was able to sleep at night finally instead of writhing around trying to get rest, as has been an issue all my life for the most part. I used them for 4 years as responsibly I could, even with the increases in tolerance.

About 3 years in I wanted to get off but didn't know how to deal with my pain so through a suggestion of a doctor and another older friend in my life I decided to switch to methadone for long term pain management. I was intending on weaning down properly after X amount of time but it just took over my life and I fell down the rabbit hole. Things got bad. I lost someone I loved, I gained 120 extra lbs (I was 280) and it was what it was but I needed to rectify it. I eventually heard of Kratom in about late 2012 and I decided to take the plunge and jump off methadone (at 90mg a day) and go to the Kratom. Sure enough, 3-5 grams in the morning, mid-day and right before bed allowed me to sleep better than before and I was able to avoid withdrawals for the most part while the methadone's half-life ceded.

Once I saw it's potential I decided to get my life in order. My younger brother moved back from SLC and him and I took some time house sitting a relatives house for 3 months to kind of get everything back in order peacefully. We both decided to eat a new diet. He was a big guy as well and we decided to eat a ketogenic diet. It's the fundamental purpose of let's say a 'Paleo Diet' or the 'Caveman Diet'....When we studied up on it well enough we enacted it all and never looked back. I lost 120lbs and am down to 160lbs and fit and it's been because of Kratom and this particular way of eating.

I've been using kratom for about 2 years now 'as needed' for pain relief and ability to sleep. It's been intermittent at times where I'll switch off it for periods of time but it truly is the most helpful plant or substance that I've ever found in order to fix a lot of issues I have. My neuropathy / fibromyalgia issues are completely resolved on a 3g dose of a good Maeng Da. I make a tea out of it, strain it twice and drink that as my morning wake up, with a slew of other vitamins and supplements for brain health and proper body function with my aims in mind.

So yes, I want to lend my voice, I want to sway as many people as possible because I know the power of this plant and it's ability to change lives.

Be blessed everyone.
