Actually, I'm looking into it and hoping to get some next week. I haven't actually talked to anyone that has used it though. I'm sorry.

I use something called Kratom. It works for energy and pain relief. Kind of expensive but worth it. It's just tree leaves dried and ground finely. If you take a small dose you get benefits of energy and pain relief but if you take more you get relief of pain and helps with sleep. The FDA doesn't like it much and puts a lot of bad press out about it but it's been used in Thailand and Indonesia for hundreds of years for all kinds of health issues. It's been a life changer for me, my sister and 2 of my friends with fibro. Small amount works 20 times better than a vicodin and doesn't have ruin your liver. As with anything I'm sure it could be misused but I don't see how. You'd have to take an awful lot of it. But you don't even need to. It elevates mood too. It's so worth trying!!! So many people are turning to it now that Dr's are so unwilling to help with pain meds.
