painpump

You can purchase it at any headshop or online & Ive been on morphine, morphine #painpump, hydrocodones & a number of different narcotics & opiates nothing has helped like this does. Will warn though it is addicting & you can withdraw from it but when you’re going to be on addicting substances anyway to control your #Pain you might as well use this. Also only other downside is constipation but that is also typical in other opiates as well & I use Miralax in my coffee everyday & it makes it not a big deal. I had dealt with pain management for years only to have many doctors help me for a bit then cut my meds in half suddenly or not take into account my tolerance, treat me like garbage, not listen & not help me. It was horrible. 6 or so months ago I decided to try kratom for the second time, first time I tried it the brand wasn’t the best, it worked but it was hard to take because I hated the taste which turned me off to it but I’m so glad I tried it again. Best brand I’ve found was Three leaf because they have a purity guarantee so you know they aren’t lacing it with other stuff like some brands like to do. The powder tastes horrible to me as I said so I take them in capsules but many say they make a tea, mix it in a food or drink or just take spoonfuls of it but I just can’t stomach the taste of it. They sell pre capsuled kratom but it’s more expensive so I’ve been using a machine, buying empty capsules & a bag of the kratom powder from Three Leaf company & capping by hand. I purchase my Three Leaf company green kratom from the local head shop “Up In Smoke”. Ever since I started using the pure kratom it’s been life changing. I’m still disabled but I’m no longer constantly bed ridden. I can actually do things & even though I’ve been extremely #depressed because of hardship the kratom has been helping me control my pain. There are a lot of sites online that can give you info on the three types of kratom & figure out what is best for you but for pain I would suggest either the Green or Red kratom. You have to start small at the lowest dose then work your way up to figure out how much you need but many people have made charts to figure out what to start with. I’ve found taking it in capsules helps me keep track how much I take each day & how much I need although some days I need more than others. It really has changed my life & using it alongside #THC & #CBD it has made such a difference in controlling my pain. I hope this helps someone as much as it has helped me with my #ChronicPain #Fibromyalgia because being able to control my pain, not have the interference of pain management,& me being able to set my own dose as needed has been awesome. Its not a cure all & it’s not perfect but it has helped me more than any other medication for controlling & coping with my pain especially when compared to opiates. Definitely look online & do some research on it but if you have chronic pain it’s definitely worth checking out!

Ugh! I was hoping this was going to be easier! I finally made the decision to have the intrathecal pain pump implanted and post surgery I have had nothing but issues- horrid spinal headache left me bed bound for 9 days- now I am having nausea and headaches as a side effect of the pump meds- but on the positive side my chronic pain is improved- but if I’m still in bed- how positive is it really???

For almost two years I have been battling this decision on my own. The decision of having a intrathecal pain pump implanted after being referred from my GI. I would silently make my list of my why and why nots, pros and cons of having the intrathecal pain pump implanted into my young body. As a healthcare professional, fortunately I was tuned into more than just the generic side effects the surgeon initially rumbled off to me. I have taken two years to make this decision. I felt out the opinions of others despite that this is my pain, my fight, my body. Their opinions made clear the misconceptions of the pain pump was going to take significant education. I made the decision it would really be worth it if I had a successful trial.
I’m currently scheduled August 6, at 28 years young. It’s scary. In so many ways. I could list a hundred scary reasons why I didn’t want to do this initially and I took two years to say yes. But I can tell you the 1 reason I said yes... I want my quality of life back, and the chance may be there with this machine.

While my trial was successful, sometimes the pump fails. I’m praying I’m successful as well and can experience the life changing quality of life that I have seen in other patients that have received the pump.

This journey is terrifying. I’m scared as hell. The risks are high. I have two children... what if something happens?

I’m scared. But I’m having it placed.
