In 2012 I began having pain all over my body. I saw a number of doctors to try and figure out the cause of the pain. I had numerous tests done, blood tests, MRIs, bone scans and x-rays. None of the doctors I saw could figure it out. They started me on morphine extended release and hydrocodone. I would go in for periodic tests and still no cause was found. This went on for 3 years. In 2015 i was suddenly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I moved and started seeing another doctor for my thyroid, and the diabetes. Around that time I discovered kratom. I was able to get off of the morphine and hydrocodone and feel normal again. I still had pain but it was much more tolerable and I didn't feel off like I did with the other medications. In 2018 I had picked another doctor closer to where I live and explained my symptoms from the start and she easily explained that I had diabetic neuropathy. I got my blood sugar and A1C in check and my pain went away and I stopped taking the kratom in ~2020. I'm certain there may be other people like me, with unexplained pain for years who try to do the right thing by seeing doctors and don't have answers for their pain for years like I did. Don't take away this safe alternative for people.
