Hi. This "Kratom" seems like it may be a godsend for me. I have to deal with chronic pain as well. I have had Vicodin, Percocet, tramadol, even methadone! But I HATE the painkiller game. ANyone that has dealt with this knows what I am talking about. They prescribe it to you, it works, but then you build a tolerance and your body starts to need it. Then they judge you for it. I would love to have any info you have on trying this out once I investigate any possible side effects.
