I was asked about my family history when I was diagnosed. Two doctors believe I inherited it from my mother’s side of the family, but without genetic testing to determine this for fact, I’ll never know.

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 ever had was a headache. I suffer from migraines, a headache is NOTHING by comparison.

When someone (a doctor, or someone who works for one) gets gravely injured or is killed because of this type of thought process, I will NOT be surprised. You’re telling pain patients that our quality of life does not matter. If that’s the case, then you have to factor in how in-human this is.

Find out if your doctor is a follower. Doctors go to medical school to save lives and help keep us healthy; they don’t go to school to learn how to destroy lives. The last thing any of us needs is a doctor attempting to destroy any of us over a prescription.

When used properly, this particular type of medication helps many of us. Because we know what we suffer from, we’re extremely cautious about taking “too much”, not that any doctor is giving us hundreds of pills a month, because that just isn’t the case. Even post-surgery, I don’t know anyone getting more than 30 pills at a time, IF THAT.

I find this entire thing extremely disturbing. It enrages me.
