DEA Banning All Sales Of Kratom

Link 2016-08-31 Miss Poison Pain DEA, Kratom, Pain Patients

http://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2016/8/30/dea-to-ban-all-sales-of-kratom If you use Kratom, I suggest stocking up in case this becomes a larger issue. This is just another way that the DEA is trying to harm pain patients and take away our rights. It's completely unacceptable. This is a non-addictive pain reliever. I know, because I've used it. The only side effect I … Continue reading DEA Banning All Sales Of Kratom

I detest going from graceful human-being to absolute klutz. Try explaining cuts, burns, bumps, and bruises to people without looking like a battered woman. It's damn near impossible. A few months ago my right wrist was covered in scratches of varying lengths. To the average passerby, it would have looked like I'd tried to harm … Continue reading Head Meet Sink

Fact: I am seriously contemplating ending my life. No one knows what's going on, or cares, but I feel it's important to talk about. I walked away from self-harm at least a dozen times last week, maybe more. I have no strong desire to actually carry it out, but we cannot "cure" the thoughts that … Continue reading Boiling Point

http://mtpr.org/post/pain-helped-him-pull-trigger#stream/0 This just plain upsets me. Denouncing someone's pain is a personal trigger for me. Leaving pain patients in a lurch without a referral to a new physician is heinous to me. Until you've walked 100 miles in a pain patient's shoes, do NOT judge their need for medication. I can't tell you how hard … Continue reading Pain Helped Him Pull The Trigger

http://themighty.com/2016/04/amplified-musculoskeletal-pain-syndrome-doctors-treat-childrens-pain-differently This article infuriated me. I know how I was treated as a child with pain and it wasn't very different, but I feel like the practices have become worse as an adult with pain, not better. You have to fight for everything, and that is unacceptable to me, but for anyone to denounce the … Continue reading When My Daughter Is Blamed for Her Chronic Pain
