Here is the incredible story of Bridget Williams ~.

“I started using kratom in 2017, for anxiety help and depression relief. I stopped in 2019, due to reasons beyond my control.”

“In August 2020, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. This is on top of being born with uniplegic cerebral palsy, and having osteoarthritis since age 16 (because walking in my condition wore out my joints very quickly, but I still walked/walk)…. Fast forward to end of 2020, my RA meds do not go far enough in treating my chronic pain, so much so…I spent most days bedridden, and unable to care for my family, my birds, my home and be a productive member of my community.”

“In 2022 I was diagnosed with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, and they not only kept the meds that are immunosuppressants, but they added in a biologic to slow the progression of my disease. I continued to take kratom, and was able to get back to caring for my family, my birds and my home, as well as participate in daily life. It’s now 2023 and the Rheumatoid Arthritis is now in my organs.”

 “I use kratom to maintain a functional level of living. As I may not be here that much longer..I don’t want to spend however long I have left, in bed. Kratom helps me with my chronic pain, my depression, my anxiety and sleep.”

“This is an important part of my arsenal of plant medicines, and traditional meds to continue staying active.” ~ Bridget Williams
