I just wanted to post an update. I will be having vascular surgery on my right leg tomorrow. I've cut back on my kratom over the past week and am ready to go. I won't be taking my morning serving of kratom powder, but I am taking small amounts today. From everything I've gathered, as long as I abstain from any kratom for about 12-18 hours before surgery, I will be fine. I will let you know how this theory plays out.:) For people dealing with chronic pain, going days without any relief is just not going to happen, plain and simple. I will keep everyone posted! This is the first of a few surgeries I'll be having this year. My left leg in February. I want us all to learn and understand kratom and anesthesia better. If anyone is interested in the details, I uploaded my diagnosis and notes into ChatGPT for more explanation. https://chatgpt.com/share/6942fe51-3950-8010-add1-25ed120bb22b

Quick recap Christopher and Venus had an extensive discussion about internet connectivity issues and recent regulatory challenges in the kratom industry, particularly focusing on a problematic Nevada Board of Pharmacy meeting where pro kratom testimony was heavily restricted while opponents were given ample time to speak. Christopher expressed frustration with what he viewed as corrupt decision-making processes in multiple states, noting that he would be escalating his concerns to the governor after witnessing biased hearings where positive testimonies were cut short while opponents were allowed extensive time to present their arguments. The conversation also covered technical aspects of internet connectivity solutions, including the use of Wi-Fi extenders and router setups, as well as personal experiences with home fires and safety precautions. Summary Internet Connectivity and Solutions Christopher and Venus discussed their internet connectivity solutions, including the use of Wi-Fi extenders. Christopher shared his experience with a TP-Link extender at work, while Venus mentioned using a Netgear extender. They also talked about backup power systems, with Christopher describing a battery backup system with 4G network capability at his workplace. The conversation briefly touched on the challenges of upgrading to fiber optic internet, with Christopher explaining why his workplace had not yet made the switch due to cost considerations. Nevada Pharmacy Board Kratom Criticism Christopher expressed frustration with the Nevada Board of Pharmacy's meeting, where he claimed the board had predetermined its decision against kratom. He criticized the board for limiting pro-kratom testimony while allowing extensive anti-kratom testimony, and accused them of either corruption or willful ignorance. Christopher stated he would be taking his concerns to the governor and expressed frustration with ongoing challenges in getting states to consider scientific evidence about kratom's benefits.

I created kratom quitting/tapering guides at http://payhip.com/kratomcommunity. I am trying to build this up into a bit more than what it is and add a YouTube channel to it. Any support is welcome! I check emails on this thing (when I get the chance). There’s a habit tracker (really cute), a tapering journal “How to Qui 7oh.” It isn’t growing as much as I had hoped but it’s a slow grind in the online hustle world.

One thing that doesn't get discussed often enough is the numerous compounds in the plant besides the alkaloids. There are so many compounds that make the whole plant work the way it does.
