Can Hormone Therapy Cause A Person To Become Verbally And Physically Abusive? And Can They Justify Their Abusive Actions Because Of This?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi there. I'm dealing with a family situation that has me very stressed out. My kid sister has two adult children in their early 20's, the oldest being a son. A few years ago, he started dating a woman who seemed nice at first, and was invited by my mom to come live in the family home, but has since become controlling, manipulative, insists on always getting what she wants, and has become verbally and even physically abusive to my immediate family members (she stood outside my sister's… read more

Worries About The Future
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

About a year ago I was diagnosed with RA. While I've been working with a doctor to manage it and slow down the progression I'm still worried about how my condition may affect me in the future. I have many passions that joint pain affects and I'm afraid it will get so bad that I won't be able to do the things I love doing. Especially getting a diagnosis so early in life. Am I overreacting? I have an anxiety disorder and I feel like I might be over thinking things...

Question About THC
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am looking into using CBD oil or marijuana. I am not a regular pot user. I tried some cookies laced with it and it started my heart racing and felt fidgety, which I don't want. Is there something I can use for pain and mild anxiety when needed? They just recently started opening dispensaries here. Trying to find relief without adding other issues. Thanks.

I Am Curious On The Side Affects Of Gabapentin Please? I Have Noticed Some Teeth And Gum Issues Lately.
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I do not know if the medication is even still working for my pain. I just am wondering if there are other meds for my pain due to some possible new side effects. Or is it affects?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I'm just the opposite I take 300mg twice a day. And I get lethargic with out them.
Lyrica has the same properties but 4x as expensive. But I think meds affect individuals differently. 🤔
