Chronic Pain / Illness and Psychedelics

[acrosstheveil]

I have had lyme and have been struggling with it for a while now. I take kratom and other herbs just to be able to function and get my day-to-day tasks done. I've had a moderate history with pharmaceutical opiates and a short stint with heroin so I tend to look at them in a negative way.

I am afraid that my use of kratom and other medicines I might take in the future might interact negatively with the psychedelic experience.

I guess I am just wondering if anyone else has gone through an illness/chronic pain and how has it affected your psychedelic use?

For example, I cannot eat mushrooms anymore because I have allergic reactions that seem to be brought on by lyme. I am also allergic to many foods.

Hola,

There are some Doctors on here that might be able to give you some input...hopefully one of them will chime in.

For me personally mescaline pretty much cured a chronic back pain issue I had for a few years.

I have chronic gut pain from congenital IBS. DMT always relieves my symptoms somehow. It never cures the IBS, but it makes the pain and any discomfort magically vanish.

yes, dmt seems to cure all of my pain temporarily. but comes back as soon as it wears off! maybe i should start microdosing aya every morning

Sometimes I get the feeling i should not be using psychedelics because I am ill. Sometimes it also seems like a fallacy though too. IDK, maybe I just need more experience.
