On this week's Kratom Stories, Madalyn speaks with Jennifer Taft, who shares her transformative experience using Kratom to manage chronic pain stemming from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Diagnosed with RA when her daughter was just four years old, Jennifer battled debilitating pain for two decades, relying heavily on opioid painkillers. However, concerns about tolerance, side effects, and a desire for greater control led her to explore Kratom as an alternative. Jennifer's journey, complete with initial trial-and-error (including capsules that proved ineffective) and the discovery of superior quality online vendors, provides valuable lessons for listeners considering using Kratom.
Jennifer's success in drastically reducing her opioid dependence is remarkable. She now uses Kratom daily to manage her RA pain and fatigue, supplementing her treatment with opioids only once a week at most during severe flares. Her honesty about the ups and downs, combined with practical tips on finding the right strain and dosage, make this episode essential listening for anyone struggling with chronic pain. Beyond managing her pain, Jennifer speaks candidly about the impact of Kratom on regaining a sense of personal control over her health. She also highlights the importance of community support and connecting with like-minded individuals online.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and am on opiates for pain but have been intrested and trying kratom. I like that I have access and something in my tool bag that I can control. I am fortunate in my journey I have a GP who treats my pain but was looking to decrease my opiates as well as on moderate pain days have access to something that helps but also isn’t an opiate. I have decreased my need for regular pain meds significantly and also found kratom helps my fatigue greatly.
Here's a great episode to get you started featuring podcast host, Madalyn Sklar. Hear her journey about living with chronic pain and finding relief from a plant that has worked better than years of pharmaceuticals.
