I am a 34 year old veteran of the U.S. Army. I have been married for 11 years and have two children. The VA prescribed Hydrocodone for the injuries I sustained while serving this country. At first I took the pills as prescribed and did ok. But my tolerance built up and I needed more medication. I started to live in a fog. When I found Kratom I was very skeptical. After the first week I stopped needing the pain pills and could see through the haze. I felt like I had my life back.

I'm a 39 year old Father of 4 and Husband to an amazing woman. I am a responsible adult consumer of Kratom which I take for a serious birth defect, Fibular Hemimelia. I'm missing part of my fibula and most major bones in my ankle and foot. Most tasks people take for granted...walking around Walmart, to the mailbox...is excruciatingly painful for me without round the clock pain medication. Since discovering Kratom I've stopped taking Pain Pills. For the first time in 11 years I feellike a functional, NORMAL adult.

I am an amputee that battles with constant pain. After 8 years of heavy opiate use due to my pain I found the opiates were doing more damage to life and needed a way to regain control of my life before it was to late. I tried to get addiction help only to be turned away either due to insurance or other issues. I knew there had to be another way so through investigation online and after extensive research and reading testimonials from multiple Kratom users I knew I had found a way to finally achieve my goal of "Getting My Life Back".
