I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms.

There has been some recent activity here about the benefits of kratom, specifically from one company and one new member. I have to speak up.

I just joined and I wanted to know if anyone here has ever experienced a quick electrical brain shock. I just had one and it scared the crap out of me. I have had them before. :(
