My employer hired me knowing my pain issue and at first was very good with me. But almost 3 years later and a rough year with flares and hospitalizations, my boss keeps giving me extra hours then taking them away, if I try to get time off for doctors or like this last time, going to the ER for having Cellulitis.

How To Explain To People?
I'm suffering from chronic nausea. This does come with the daily risk of it getting suddenly worse so that I have to sit down, stop whatever I'm doing and go home, or throw up.

Nausea is the worst. Hang in there. Remember 9-11thanks

Does Kratom Help?
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💜
There's a group on Facebook set up by Justin Katz. Gotta find the group again.
