THC Versus CBD

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Calgary, AB

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lake Forest, CA

Do you have apathy with your disease? I wonder if it comes from the opiates or the disease. I've lowered my meds but no change in apathy. It's most of the time, not all. I'm not sure if I need a different anti-depressant or what. What is your take?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member
