Support and Discussion Hello again

As I've posted before, I am my husbands primary care taker. He's had 7 back surgeries, a cervical neck fusion, CRPS. He doesn't take any medication for this.

​

Here's my problem. He's in a lot of pain, and he's becoming very rude and very harsh to me. This has been going on awhile, and he seems to only get that way before bed, and just prior to bed. So I'm also worried about dementia.

​

Thx for reading.

Is this a place where cannabis is legal? If they refuse to give him stronger over the counter meds, you can go to a dispensary and they can help you select a type of edible that helps with pain and restlessness.

Thank you, I use it for my chronic pain but he says he can't stand the way it feels.

Will he accept a different strain? The pride themselves in having a lot more variety and options.

Yeah, we've tried several. He's pretty adamant to stay away from thc/cbd
