Hello everyone, I'm Mia and just introducing myself and sharing my story. I look forward to getting to know you all. Just over 2 years ago, I was very close to killing myself after decades of toxic medication for my chronic pain and mental illness, my quality of life was almost non-existent and it was negatively impacting everyone around me. I found kratom via a random youtube comment that said it was good for PTSD symptoms, and my biggest mental health issues come from CPTSD. So I got curious and looked it up, after a couple of months of reading about it I decided it was worth a shot, the last one I was planning on taking. Within a half hour of my first dose my partner started crying, I asked him what was wrong and he hugged me and said "It's like the woman I fell in love with has come home". That day I spent almost 6 hours on my feet running around doing things, something I hadn't been able to do since pre-injury when I was 17. I also performed in front of a crowd, something I wouldn't have been able to do without a panic attack previously. As I said, that was over 2 years ago, and I've been taking kratom almost every day since at a small dose of 3 to 4g a day (depending on strain). It's given me back my mobility physically (I've even lost almost 100lbs!) and balanced out my mental health so much I was able to stop taking all prescription drugs. Thank goodness for Kratom!
