Does Anyone Have Sjogrens? Seems Like No One Understands.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
South Milwaukee, WI

My dry mouth has affected my teeth. I've had a lot pulled and will be getting a partial. I carry a bottle of water where ever I go or my mouth is so dry that my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth! There's no fluid in my eyes and my vision has been affected, not by the Plaquinol. They're very sensitive to light and hurt. RA and spinal stenosis and diabetes go along with this. Just so frustrated and depressed. There is a young goofy person inside this body!

Does Kratom Help?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Castle, IN

I've ordered Kratom in hopes it will help with this roller coaster of pain I'm in. I can't remember the last time I was pain free. I'm sure those times are behind me, I just wanted to ask people who do use Kratom the kind of results they get. I ordered it in capsules. How many should I take to feel relief? Do I still take my pain med while taking Kratom? What strain have you found to benifit you the most? Thank you in advance for the help and guidance💜
