Decided to drop you a message when I saw you were on BuTrans pain patches.....I've been on the BuTrans 20 mcg/hr and my pain mgmt. dr has me using oxycodone 10-325 up to 3 a day for breakthrough pain.

I wonder if that might help u better than the Tramadol ? Or at least worth a try ?

Take care.

I should preface my comments by saying that I don't have pain, just increasing numbness and tingling. I also some years back had cancer and was on Oxycodone and Fentanyl during and after radiation treatment. So I have experience with opiods.

My first impressions are that Kratom is not dissimilar to a mild version of an opiod. I have a fairly high tolerance level for the latter, which probably mitigates the effect for me. It's definitely pleasant though. Euphoria, a feeling of well-being, a general full body sensation that, were I in pain, would probably help. It did definitely take my mind off the annoying tingly sensation in my hands and arms for a few hours, so that by itself is a good thing.

I've read that it can be addicting so I don't plan on using it every day or even more than a time or two a week. But as a little vacation from discomfort it's now in my toolbag. People who are truly agonized from PN would benefit, imho. Naturally you have to take your own situation into account before experimenting.
Hello,

I am new to this site so having a bit of trouble navigating around at present.

Is Kratom effective for helping with peripheral neuropathy pain?

Any particular strains better than others?

Does it make a difference using capsules or powder?

Thanks!

From a Devil's advocate standpoint. It can be a counterintuitive form of therapy. Something to consider as well....

It is so weird (and entertaining) reading articles that source from websites. Some of the quotes had me laughing, perhaps inappropriately.

I think the moral of the story is that people react to drugs and even foods differently and if you don't know the source of your product, well, who is to say it is what they claim it is.

I may try Kratom at some point if things get haywire enough, though I am truly hoping that I will get approval for regulated mmj.

I hope that anyone who tries this product out doesn't have the Shaq experience.

Jon

That New York Times article is poorly researched and biased. I believe one who finds themselves in positions such as ours needs to consider what brought them to the forum. I know for myself it did not take me long to realize that all doctors could do is run tests and prescribe drugs.

Kratom represents a serious threat to the pharmaceutical industry. A safe natural herb
that acts on certain opiate receptors and relieves pain....without the side effects.

Kratom is in serious danger in our current political climate. If you using Kratom and would like to help to insure your future ability to use this wonderful plant please visit the American Kratom Association 's page at www . americankratom.org.

Default You better hurry!
I just read on another forum that on Sept. 30 this year kratom will become a Schedule 1 drug, i.e. completely illegal. If this is true, and i have not verified this yet, but have no reason to doubt the source, there is only a few days left.
