Chapter Five: Trying Kratom

I did an online search for Kratom vendors, found one, ordered a small amount with my credit card, and waited for delivery. It never came.

That was how I found out about unreliable vendors. I will say that since then, I have found the other vendors I dealt with to be extremely reliable. But this was a bad start, and as a result, I left for California with nothing but my usual vitamins and supplements, and a large container of Advil for my back and shoulders.

The flight both ways was horrible. I squirmed in my seat. I waited for long lines to form for the bathrooms, and immediately stood in them, to easy the squirmy feeling in my legs. I loved long lines. I counted the minutes, the hours, until we landed. The Advil helped my back and shoulder pain, but did nothing for my RLS.

And the nights in California were not any better. We stay in a short term rental out there, rather than with our son, so at least I could pace in the living room at night without disturbing anyone.

When I got home, and saw that I had a cross-country wedding to attend in another few months, I decided to try again to order some kratom. This time I chose a vendor more wisely, Kratom Therapy, and in a few days received my order.

Medicinal Kratom is made by turning the leaves of the Kratom tree into a powder. You can order this powder in capsules, or just by itself. I started by ordering the capsules.

I ordered something called “Red Dragon” and the first night took two capsules. They quieted my legs, and I fell asleep. I woke up a couple of hours later and took two more capsules. Again, after awhile my legs quieted, and I fell back asleep.

I followed this pattern for the next couple of weeks: two capsules before bed, and then two more each time I woke up, which was usually two or three times a night. Even though I was waking up, and often had to wait for the Kratom to take effect, I was piecing together around six hours of sleep a night. Things were looking up!

I kept waiting to see if I developed any side effects, but I couldn’t feel any at all. I didn’t feel high from the little amount I was using. I wasn’t getting headaches. I wasn’t constipated. I never had the slightest “drugged” feeling. If the kratom hadn’t been relieving the RLS, and my back and shoulder pain, I would have thought it was doing nothing.

My route to the wedding involved flying from the East Coast to California, and then to Reno, Nevada. I took double my usual amount of kratom for the California flight, and took the capsules every two hours. It was incredible. I had no RLS symptoms at all. In fact, the absence of symptoms made me so cocky that I took much less on the Reno flight, and was again miserable,
