Although there is no cure for fibromyalgia, there are many drugs and supplements that are used in treatment to help in managing the chronic pain syndrome. One of the lesser known treatments is the Kratom supplement. But is this really effective? Read on to find out?
What is Kratom?
Kratom is the leaves of a plant known as Mitragyna speciosa. This plant is part of the coffee family and is common in Southeast Asia. The leaves are known for having various medicinal properties because of its beneficial alkaloids.

I use kratom regularly for my fibro pain and it really does help me and others I know that use it.
Kratom will not get you high in any amount. The only reason the Thai government banned Kratom was because it was cutting into their opium trade. The we’re losing money due to Kratom.
Kratom is illegal to have in Alabama. Rampant misuse by young people.
As an RN I have done plenty of research reading studies and scientific papers on Kratom before deciding to switch from opiates. It is by far the most helpful of anything I have used for my managing pain and with none of the side effects that opiates have. It is safe and effective for Fibromyalgia in my opinion. Causes no respiratory depression or cognitive problems and virtually impossible to overdose on because the body will reject via vomiting if too much is ingested.
I would recommend that before anyone takes Kratom they do their own education, talk to their doctor, and purchase from a reputable vendor not a head shop. There are groups on Facebook and Google to read about Kratom.
I do use Kratom for fibromyalgia, plus several other chronic pain issues, I have used for almost years, along with my father, we get relief that no opiates could give, with out the side effects,just had all labs done, and every thing is very good never had good numbers all across the lab board, you don’t get high, you just get relief, fda, leave us alone, we don’t want your addictive, dangerous opiates, that damage physically, and mentaly
Awesome information on Kratom and the plant versus DEA. Which strain(s) works best for FM pain?
Thanks much,

Kratom is the leaves of a plant known as Mitragyna Speciosa, this belongs to the coffee family and is common in Southeast Aisa. Kratom has medicinal properties because of its beneficial alkaloids. Kratom is really effective in treating fibromyalgia. Kratom contains substances that can help to relieve pain, boosts energy, changes the mood, improves the metabolism, regulating the blood and sugar in the blood, protect from cancer and many more.
I use Kratom for rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and this is the only thing that has alleviated any pain. I have taken other fda approved drugs and there is no comparison. I feel better on Kratom than I have in years and for that I’m very thankful.
