Hello from Alabama
Hey everyone. My name is Brooke, and I am currently living in NW Alabama, in Muscle Shoals, a city with deep and rich roots in the music industry. I have lived here for 2.5 years after relocating from NW Florida.
I am married to PJ, and have two sons. Justin is 15 and has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and epilepsy. He currently only has absence seizures, and we sure hope to keep it that way! Nate is 8 and has Aspergers, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and Tourette's Syndrome. I was diagnosed at age 10 with Type 1 Diabetes, and currently wear an insulin pump and CGMS (continuous glucose monitoring system). I also have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis and am being tested for some other things.
I learned about Kratom a few months ago from a vaping friend who is being treated by the VA for PTSD and lung cancer. Another friend of ours started using the kratom energy shots at the gas station until they stopped selling them, and recently found capsules at another and gave me a few. My VA friend gave me a couple of the drinks once and I was pleasantly surprised at the pain relief I got from them. My interest has been piqued since then, but I never followed up on it. I'm now looking more into it and seeking information and a reputable source of clean, quality kratom. I also use CBD (hemp since MMJ still isn't legal in AL) to help with my pain, but am finding that it doesn't help me as much as it used to.
I look forward to getting to know y'all and learning from you!
Welcome Brooke, Nice to meet you. I am so sorry to hear about all your family's problems. I can't even begin to imagine what you have to go through each day with your family. I know Kratom will help you with your fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis pain. If you have any Questions at all feel free to ask me. I'm here to help in any way I can.

Thanks! It is what it is. Like most anything else, we just take it one day at a time. The medical expenses are suffocating us. The insomnia is killing me, and the increasing pain is driving me insane, LOL! I can't tolerate opioids, so I have been relying on Gabapentin/ Lyrica (just switched), Baclofen, and Tramadol, and still don't have relief. I have Percocet, but it does nothing but knock me out. I will certainly be taking you up on the help offer! I just don't have spare funds to blow, so I need to not waste a bunch of $$$ ordering strains that won't work for me.
All Kratom provides some measure of pain relief but Red Strains will provide the most pain relief. I would say the Strain Bentuangie is the best Strain for Pain Relief & they have Vendors that have a Fibromyalgia Kratom Blend For Pain Relief. Hope this helps.

That helps me tremendously! I've only really looked much at Kraken so far and was thinking Borneo. I plan to order at least one small order of all colors. I'm thinking white and green mixed during the day and red at night, based on what I read in the guide.
Welcome to the Forum, Brooke. I work with the American Kratom Association to keep kratom legal and Alabama is one of the states now considering legislation to ban it.
If you would like to help us by writing an email or calling your legislators, you can learn more at http://www.americankratom.org or find us on Facebook, join our group there at "American Kratom Association". Thanks. (It's free to join.)

I will certainly do this. I have been involved in "encouraging" our legislators to legalize MMJ for a couple of years now. They probably have me on ignore by now!
Thanks, Brooke. We called the police out months ago when they raided a few convenience stores that were selling VivaZen. Then our Exec. Director had to explain to them that this product and kratom, itself, aren't against the law. So, of course, now someone wants to MAKE it against the law!
We've had good success in lobbying legislatures to see the light when Susan Ash, our Exec, explains it to them.
We'd love to have your help in Alabama.

Do you think they will ever make Kratom Illegal In Louisiana. Just your opinion on this.
Pot is Legal to consume I think in 5 states. That to me is crazy. It's Legal to drink & drive in Mississippi. Can you believe that! No other State can you drink & drive but Mississippi. Some of the Drug Laws are just Nuts to me! Here are some Crazy Drug Laws. :S

Chuck-
It is truly awesome here. You should come visit sometime during Handy Fest! It is awesome. The entire tri-cities participates! Just like I have been dedicated to finding the right strands and doses with MJ, I will be patience and dedicated with Kratom. I a, desperate for relief at this point! Thank you for the encouragement and information!
Paul (is that your name?-
I'm all for lobbying for something that I feel is useful and safe! I have a rather loud mouth!!
MadMax- it is absolutely ridiculous what our governments considers safe and "ok" and then turn around and seem things like MJ and Kratom dangerous and unacceptable! Things that CURE and give people their lives back! We sooooo need to clean house(s) and start over!
Welcome. Shutter Fly Mama, I'm glad you're here. i live in Jackson,MS so we aren't far away.
Mad Max, we have tough dui laws here, Mandatory 5 days in prison for 2nd offence, etc.
Thanks! Good ol Jackson! I once had a lot of friends there, years ago.
I.ve always wanted to visit Muscle Shoals; It's musical history is so cool. What's the population there?
I'm not sure, but I would guess about 15k +/-. We have lived several places over the past 5 years, and the Shoals is by far our favorite and where we intend to put down roots. Everything about it is wonderful! It is what we all remember community as it used to be 😉
Hey ShutterFlyMomma,
Welcome to our homebase here, glad you found us! Yes its sad what are government does and says especially about something like Kratom! But that's why were all here to support each other, so if you ever need anything just ask.
Take it easy and have a good weekend!

NO PAIN,NO ANXIETY,YES KRATOM!
