Red Vein Kratom Log (Borneo - Thai - Sumatra)
So I've been dealing with chronic pain for years. Upper traps and mid-back spasms and knots that get so tight that I could just scream. Sometimes I get 3 hours of sleep at night only. Ibuprofen does nothing at all but tramadol does. I've been using that for years but I keep hearing how good certain strains of Kratom are for pain relief and tight muscles etc.. so I decided to give it a try.
There are a few different strains, (red, green, and white) the green and white are more for people that want a mood enhancer/energy. That's not what I'm going for. If anything I have too much energy. I'm going for the red strain which is a calmer/relaxer and pain reliever that acts very similar to a drug like tramadol. The specific strain I ordered is called Red Vein Borneo which is supposed to be one of the top strains for pain relief specifically.
I was given a 50 gram sample to try for a few weeks and I'll be recording my results here in this log. My plan is to come off the tramadol and see just how much of a "replacement" this stuff can be.
I'll be starting with 1 measured tsp which equals about 3.5-4.5 grams depending on the strain. The sweet spot dose for strong pain relief seems to be anywhere from 5-7 grams but I'll start low to see how I respond first. I'll probably take my first dose around late afternoon which I think is the best time for something like this.
Logs starts in a few days when sample arrives.
