@jordanm4853 I had chs and I did not know I had it. I smoked weed for 30 years ever day. My chs came about 3 years ago. The first thing that happened was I was smoking a spliff, and halfway through smoking the spliff, I had very bad nausea, stomach pains and stomach cramps and I then vomited, i didn't understand why i vomited so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. My marriage broke down and I was missing my children so much I could not cope, so I was already in a bad state of depression and not sleeping or eating much. I continue to smoke after this first bout of vomiting. After this first bout of vomiting, i could not eat food, and my insomnia kicked in very badly. Maybe I'm just eating two spoons of my dinner per day, and maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. I continue to smoke weed. I worked through this whole period doing manual labour, and somehow my body was still functioning, and I felt strong even with lack of sleep and hardly eating food. I was functioning on Coca-Cola, Lucozade, and spliffs. Basically I was ill for 6 months and continue to smoke without knowing the reason for my sickness. 6 months later, I hit a brick wall, and my body started to shut down. I went from 17 and a half stone down to 12 stone in 6 months. I started getting stomach cramps, stomach pain, vomiting from time to time, gastro problems, hypnic jerks when trying to sleep, Tinnitus in the ears. once I did fall to sleep then I woke up with tremors. Muscle spasms. Muscle stiffness. Muscle pain. Bone pain. Muscle spasms in my back . Found it hard to walk. Numbness down my legs. Vomiting, nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Anxiety, Muscle spasms in my throat, throat tightening every time I lie down to try to sleep. Constipation, Haemorrhoids. I could not urinate properly. The Muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down were causing my throat to close. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors with regards to why I was getting all these symptoms. The doctor was offering me muscle relaxant tablets but I could not take them because they made a lot of my symptoms worse. the doctor was telling me to sleep sitting up due to my throat closing when lying down. They sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing about the causes of my sickness. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia. As more time went past, the muscle spasms in my throat got so bad that I could not smoke because my throat started to close when standing or sitting. This obviously stopped me from smoking. My anxiety and depression were so bad from missing my kids and all the symptoms from the chs and I was still not diagnosed. I felt like I was dying. My nervous system was in a very bad way. I was researching everywhere and came across CHS. I then took this to the doctor, and they diagnosed me with CHS. I continue to work through this whole period. Looking back, I do not know how I got through. But I think the continuous moving of the body was helping me somehow. I started to eat a little better and slowly slowly I started to put my weight back on. After 1 year of me sleeping sitting up I was finally able to lie down without my throat going into spasms so I could lay down I started to sleep a little better slowly slowly. It's been 2 and a 1/2 years since stopping smoking. After 1 year, I was still in a very bad way, with many symptoms still remaining. After about a year and a half they found a 7 mm polyp which they cut out of my stomach. Through this whole period of me being sick with chs i had found having hot baths with Epsom salts was helping me a great deal. Putting warm olive oil all over my muscles was also helping. Drinking bone broth also helped a lot. After 2 years, my haemorrhoids started to calm down. I was able to go to the toilet better. Both urinating and pooing. It's been 2 and 1/2 years, and I still have tinnitus in the ears and spasms in my back and back pain, but it's nothing like the spasms and back pain I had before. I'm still suffering a little bit with insomnia. And when I wake from sleep, my arms and hands still go numb and numbness down the outside of my right leg mainly my knee and thigh. The biggest help I have found in my healing period was through cranial therapy. When I start to feel quite good, sometime I would try to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes seems to bring back some symptoms. I tried to drink sometimes to test my body. But then I realised I could not drink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Some symptoms start to come back. I have come to the realisation that I can not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. And obviously cannot smoke cannabis for the rest of my life. Even standing next to someone who is smoking a spliff affects me. I was always a very fit and strong individual and felt invincible. But this whole experience has humbled me. Please look after yourself and your health mentally and physically. The one good thing I can see about CHS is that if you stop smoking weed and live a healthy life it can go away. As I said I still have some symptoms. But I feel like if I look after myself hopefully I pray to God that all my symptoms will eventually go away. it is possible that there is damage done that cannot be repaired from but I am very thankful and go forward with a positive mindframe. It is very good to see that there is information out there for people to find. It did not occur to me to go on KZfaq and type in chs back then. But even the videos on KZfaq here do not talk about half my symptoms. I obviously took chs to the Brim. And maybe I'm very lucky. But it is very good to see there is information out there and people are learning more and more everyday about CHS. If you feel you have CHS the beginner of CHS or you feel you have had it for a while please stop smoking now. Go and seek help. As I said the best thing that I found helped me was cranial therapy and God. God bless you all out there, peace 🙏

How long after you quit did it take for the naseau to go away?

I quit damn near the same day I felt nausea I’m hoping I can end this early

@@ciarasmith4984 I would imagine 30-90 days tops, considering you system should be clean from the THC after that period of time and it probably also depends how often and how much you smoked. (Just my guess)I've quit for about 14 days and I'm still vomiting but it's not as bad as it was...

Sorry to hear. Hope he turns a corner

I was also in denial because weed made me feel better no matter the sickness that I had, but after actually looking into the scientific aspect of it I understand completely and honestly has caused problems at home because of how much I shower because it wakes me up everyday at 6:30am. If you do get him to quit smoking weed make sure you get every remedy you might need. There is a certain cream that helps with the cramping instead of showering

Get well soon. Please see your doctor for insomnia relief as well.

Glad you got the help.

Sorry to hear. Hope things are better for you.

Yes, it's more common than known, in a away. the comments section has taught me a lot as a clinician.

It's the very high THC stuff man. I just smoke smoke flower like 30% THC. I had a 61% THC CaviCone yesterday and woke up HOT. (I've gotten good at this. You can evolve thru it. It's a syndrome.) You vomit, take hot baths. Soak stomach and DO NOT DRINK OR EAT ANYTHING FOR 6 + HOURS. Stomach acid, emzine development, sugar production all gets slowed cause of super high THC. I just did a seccsessful reset last night.

@@PsychiatrySimplified I started noticing diarrhea in I didn't a little experiment I took a little bit of the dose of the acidic form of the CBDs and then the shortness of breath and it was kind of weird so I stopped using

You have to take care of yourself. Feel your body's receptors. Dont eat at night. Stay hydrated with healthy drinks. Best to avoid it before it ever happens

Thank you for sharing. And hope you continue to stay well

Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏼

Very disheartening to happen to me. I was using for anxiety and literally have had the worst nausea and vomiting.

@STYLE DARA stop smoking. Try to talk to your doctor. Maybe cbd without delta 8 would be ok. I'm going to look into it myself. It will still give you the anti anxiety effects. Amongst other health benefits. I hope you feel better. Try to go buy electrolits. It has something in it that helps prevent acid build-up. If you can't keep that down, water it down some. It will also help fight the dehydration. Which is one of the biggest risks with chs.

If you don’t mind me asking, how long did she cease cannabis and how often did she smoke when she started again? I’m also dealing with CHS unfortunately any tips or words you can offer will be greatly appreciated

@@chimchim2069 hi there…it seems to be directly proportional to the amount of THC in her system….she can smoke as a treat once or twice a month and completely get away with it. Problem is she starts again because a lot of time passes between the episodes.She can take ONE hit 3-4x a week for maybe 6 weeks and that’s about the borderline to the vomiting

@@chimchim2069 when she stops…(demonstrated 12-18 momth abstinence) there is ZERO vomiting…it’s happened enough times where we have proven it’s the THC

Don't do what I did when I developed chs, after getting really sick I quit 2 months to recover only to micro dose daily, after few years I developed problems with my bones/teeth/thyroid,.. my eyesight got really bad & teeth pretty much started cracking/became brittle & started falling out, this sh!t is no joke, stop completely before you develop permanent damage to your body

Sorry to hear. Do hot / warm showers help? Have anti emetics helped in anyway. Hope you get to the bottom of this. Wish you and your husband well.

@@PsychiatrySimplified Thank you. So yes hot showers do help. I ended up doing more research on it since I posted this, and I think I found something in regards to treatment using capsaicin topical cream. "The interesting, almost pathognomonic, characteristic of CHS is the relief of symptoms by hot showering or bathing. This effect was initially proposed to be motivated by impaired thermoregulation mediated by the stimulation of CB receptors in the preoptic area.13 However, the receptor that may actually deserve credit for this phenomenon in CHS is the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 receptor (TRPV1), a nociceptor found in the peripheral nervous system that is involved in the pain relief we feel from endocannabinoid stimulation and which also regulates body heat.21 TRPV1 is activated by exposure to scalding heat (109°F).22,-24 Interestingly, capsaicin also stimulates the TRPV1 receptor.24 Lapoint25 identified the clinical advantage of the physiologic link between cannabis, heat, and capsaicin when they applied the chili pepper derivative (0.075% capsaicin) to the abdomens of several adult patients with CHS and observed relief of their nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Additional case reports subsequently also described the treatment of CHS with application of 0.075% capsaicin to the abdomen and 0.025% capsaicin to the back, arms, and abdomen.26,27 " My husband was throwing up for 24 hours straight when I came across this information. I immediately went to Walgreens and luckily they had a single tube left of this stuff. I got home and put a pea sized drop on his abdomen and another pea sized drop on his back. Within 15 minutes the nausea had completely subsided. He is currently sleeping and has not thrown up since. The only negative side effect was a burning sensation that lasted for about an hour.

@@mrs.ana93 this is fascinating. Thank you so much for sending this across. 🙏🏼. Wish you and your husband well.

@@mrs.ana93 I went through this very same thing, and like him, I also have been smoking a very long time and smoke like I breath it, as you said, it’s a part of us. The article you posted to here I found years ago, and yes the capsaicin cream or basically chilli extract does work and so do drastic temperature changes as well, like hot to cold showers back and forth. I last went to the E.R. In 2019 and I would go 1-5 times a month since 2012!! Basically I found an article on R-CPD or “The No Burp Syndrome” weed or cannabis is not the cause of our nausea, and vomiting, in my opinion of course, it’s caused by not being able to release stomach or abdominal gas. Basically you can’t burp, and then you work yourself up into a panic not been able to release the gas, which then causes you to make yourself throw up for the relief of some gas escaping while you throw up. Back in 2019 I figured out never let myself hold in a burp or a fart and voila, all of my crazy nausea symptoms went away, while also never reducing the amount of cannabis consumed. I wish you well and hope he finds relief.

@@Iamthatiis I don't think that's the case with my husband, because he frequently burps before throwing up. It's unfortunate because he just went 72 hours straight with no THC and the nausea completely subsided, and I kid you not he decided to smoke flower again because "maybe it's just the concentrates making me sick", and he's currently vomiting again. The capsaicin is helping some, but not as well as the initial time after I first bought it.

how are you now? i suffered with this several times because of my stubbornness to quit (I've been sober for nearly a year now thank god). i would be puking for days and couldn't eat and the pain was crazy. i wouldn't be able to sleep either, i would not wish this on my worst enemy. i would also be extremely emotional too.

Glad you got help. Wish you well.

Did you have a migraine also while throwing up and nausea?

🥺 genuinely happy for you CHS sucks. I remember crying and feeling really bad. My moms took me to the ICU got my fluids up and quit for 7 months. Till one of my co workers brought a pen and I got into it again. Past two days I haven’t been eating and throwing up. I have to start the process again 🙏

That’s sounds really distressing. Hope you stay well.

Wow that is serious! I just had my first hospital visits (2) in one week because of this although I have been suffering for two years or more. I too would need to get up hours before work to soak and ease the nausea. I'm just quitting. Period. I may try to take a few puffs maybe 2 times a month after a while. How long did you quit before doing it again? How often were you doing it when the symptoms came back?

Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻. Sounds terrible . Glad you got better

Thank you for your comment I agree I went to hospitals during my several attacks over a period of 4 years . I TOOK HOT BATHS UNTILL I ALMOST FAINTHED .. GOT OUT WENT UNDER COLD SHOWER few minutes and back to burning myself in my steaming bath .. I had to leave hospitals I became agressive they could not let me sit under the shower all day everyday so I left every hospital I went to . The shower bills were payable though .. my dad always complained but I have seen people lose 300k in hospitals over this and ive only came across CHS yesterday ive been on a research rampage for 20h strait now . Im quiting weed forever no excuses for me anymore . Now I have to find ways to quit .

Thank you for sharing your story. I just had my 3rd ER visit and stopped smoking completely cause I can’t bear the pain anymore. I’m curious, has not smoking daily helped you? I would love to smoke again but definitely after a long break.

@@rlam9734 Dont start again. Trust me, you will regret it. I have several episodes and many trips to the hospital and between the episodes, i would always relapse since i thought i was better. Smaller amount, cbd, delta-8, pure flower, ive tried many things to keep weed in my life but no matter how small, the symptoms would always come back. It would even take year or two between episodes which gave me a false sense of security from chs. But if you have chs and when your body has had enough, it will always come back.

@@rlam9734 I Stopping smoking a few weeks ago and it's helped me and the vomiting has stopped a LOT however I still vomit sometimes before bed, but now I'm not feeling nauseous as bad after a meal and I can keep my food down much better! You NEED to stop smoking so much (maybe just on the weekends) or quit cold turkey! I was misusing the weed and smoking too often and smoking everyday (mostly due to being on unemployment and working from home and being home too much and having access to weed at home) You really need to cut way back with smoking or like I said just quit cold turkey (but that can be hard for some people) but it's not worth dealing with those symptoms

Clues such as relief with hot showers and ofcourse association with cannabis use most valuable for diagnosis.

Did hot showers help? Also comments section indicate that capsaicin shows benefits - ps not medial advise

You've just got to quit the weed bro (especially the daily use) I know how bad it sucks but since there is no cure for this it's literally the only option is abstinence! :(

From a medical perspective cessation is definitive treatment for CHS. Symptom relief can be obtained with some other Rx covered in the video.

I always had the dry heaving in the morning, only actually threw up a little bit once or twice. I’ve been smoking super heavy for 4-5 years, I’m 19 now. I’ve been sober for 25 days now with no more nausea or vomiting, and I too feel like the worse part was the appetite issues.

@Vincent Methistopholese pretty much in the same boat minus once or twice before I quit, I’d always have a stupid hard time eating when that feeling comes on. Mine was always terribly uncomfortable though. Hard to get out of bed some days. Smoking used to make it subside but I had started to realize it was always worse the mornings after I had smoked more than usual.

@@briggan007 @Vincent Methistopholese If you guys are having the stomach issues like I did - go buy chocolate ENSURE protein shakes and drink one in the morning when you wake up and one before bed. Your stomach will feel full again and normal until you regain apatite.

I agree, I was in the hospital twice this week for the same thing. It’s even hard to sleep because you’re in so much pain.

@All about us I didn't get to the severe stomach pain stage yet. I had pain and discomfort but not the horrible pain I see some people talking about. Did you stop smoking?

It is awful. Usually need several ER visits for IVs because NOTHING stays down!

Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏼

That sounds terrible. Glad it was picked up. Thanks for sharing.

Wow i had the exact same thing back in 2010. That was my first time with chs and yeah i had air bubbles in my neck and in my face. Felt like there was rice crispy squares underneath my skin. It was tough but my stupid ass self wouldnt accept that it was weed and kept going. I am finally trying to be completely weed free as ive learned that only thing that will keep chs from coming back is quitting all together.

@@briankim6148 Yup rice crispies my face was fat, they had me stay in the hospital for a week. I quit smoking weed afterwards and switched to drinking. That was a bad idea, my body hates alcohol too. I started vaping\smoking weed again during the pandemic 2020 and I got sick again. I guess we’re doomed to live a sober life and get high off oxygen.

My story is so similar! Multiple doctors could not figure it out and I went in yesterday and young female doctor asked tight away "question: do you smoke weed often". And I have never felt so understood.

@@teflon914 I think it was the CHS that was rejecting the alcohol from your body. Sadly, alcohol can trigger your CHS from what I have gathered. Or were you drinking too much and misusing the alcohol?

Fr. I'm dying over here with heart burn already lost 80 pounds

@@arrowbynum4784 this is why I promote people to grow their own. I remember in NYC, the dealers used to use roach spray on ghe reggie to kick it up a notch. THEN, there was "gettin wet" where they would dip marijuana in formaldehyde. You would know it was dipped because it was still wet and very brown. Then, you have folks claiming the quality of the marijuana ("dispensary lab quality") they're getting but they can't tell us the strain, which dispensary, the grower, or when they picked it up. These are things we should know. That way we can get to the bottom of it. But the doctors arenxt even asking important questions. They got their little pieces of paper hung up on the wall, stacked with a pile of arroagance, as if they know everything. They have half the story which is anecdotal, at best. Last time I checked, we needed double blind studies to prove anything. As they did in the past and continue to do today, they're literally just making up shit with nothing to back it up but their pieces of paper hanging on the wall. F that. The BS they lied about yestersay with no evidence and no studies is being debunked today with evidence and studies. They said marijuana is dangerous for pregnant women. That shit was deuinked before they came up with fhe lie (re: Melanie Dreher). They claimed marijuana hurts the developing brain in children. That was debunked recently. My favorite lie is the Tulane/Heath study that "proved" marijuana killed brain cells. Not only was the study debunked 3 years later after peer reviews realized the researchers sufficated rhesus monkeys with marijuana smoke. DEA ran with that. That was the last ttkme the govt approved funds for a marijuana study, something they could use to lie to the people. B.b,bbut waait.. there's more.. marijuana has been proven to aid in NEUROGENESIS.. huh!?.. yeah, marijuana helps develop brain cells, not destroy them. So if they think someone as educated and experienced in marijuana, doctor arrogance, government lies will accept, it's just fhe marijuana... I aint even gotta say no more. They gotta come better than that.

2000 years ago, cannabis was relatively low in THC, so it's an apples and oranges comparison.

@@Magnulus76 MISGUIDED. Keep in mind, regardless of a plant's individual THC content over the years, hash existed centuries ago as well. High potency THC products have also been with us for a very long time. We were always making concentrates and tinctures. Next time you regurgitate that BS excuse, TELL THE WHOLE STORY and not just the part that makes you think you won the argument

@@anthonytaurus but back then not many, if any at all, people weren't blazing it up like how people do it now. the amount of usage from person to person is definitely higher than someone one or two centuries ago. a light user now could be seen as a moderate or even heavy user back then, regardless of how potent the THC content was.

Thats sounds horrendous. Hope you are feeling better and can get treatment for this.

Did you stop smoking after the first time? I haven’t smoked in 48 hours and plan on waiting at least 6 months

@@p3aoh161 How are you feeling now? I'm 14 days sober and still not 100 percent better, but not vomiting quite as much and I'm starting to slowly feel a bit better. I wish I was educated about CHS, I would've thought twice about smoking as much as I was on a daily basis! :/

@@p3aoh161 I stopped smoking for about 2 months and went back to it. I got it again now because I smoke more and more often cuz I wasn't having symptoms so I thought it was safe to smoke more. If you go back to it I'd wait at least 2 months and don't smoke more than once every 2 or 3 weeks to be safe. If you feel your tolerance rising and you need more and more to get the same high that's a good sign you need to stop or you'll get chs soon

Wow exact same..so interesting to learn what was causing this for myself. Especially the hot water. Usually I can’t even handle really hot baths or showers, when I am nauseous from this I can handle the absolute hottest water available, it’s crazy.

Thank you for sharing your experience . Sounds very distressing ! Hope you feel better

I had it 10 times..i died 10 times,thats how it felt

Wish you well. Take care

Sorry to hear. Smoking independently can be associated with gastritis, Gerd.

It’s difficult to say but it may be the body and brain readjusting. However if there are any distressing symptoms it’s best to seek medical input. Wish you well

Excessive vomiting and feeling nauseous after you eat means you probably got CHS

Withdrawals

Especially if you use nic wraps

Heyy man dame here for me i smoke carts and weed from the dispensary, im pretty sure i have this unfortunately.

@@ftfb.andrew909 what are your symptoms brother?

@@alonzoharris2313 in the mornings i feel nauseous and some times outta no where ill have the urge to puke, i dont evenn smoke heavy id say but then again idk when I was sober for a whole week

@@ftfb.andrew909 only way to get better is to stop man. The problem is these carts have about 90% THC. It’s too much for the body to handle . I’ve been two weeks sober and symptoms are getting better , just having horrible withdrawals right now . Just give up the carts brother it’s not worth it

Wish you well

I haven't had those emotional feelings, it's just been a nightmare and a lot of vomiting and feeling VERY nauseous every time I eat even a small meal it's awful for someone like me who loves to eat. I've lost a significant amount of weight, I'm staying sober for a very long time and if I do ever smoke again it will be very, very lightly! Aiming to stay sober from weed for 6 months to a year at the very least...

I can relate to this. Them out of no where I'll wake up in the morning after puking/tossing turning all night and cry my ass off for a good 30 mins then back to feeling that weird numb feeling this syndrome has crazy affects on your brain/body not worth smoking that's for sure.

Good points. Written on this here psychscenehub.com/psychinsights/psychopharmacology-cannabis-and-mental-health/

Thank you for sharing your story. That sounds really hard. Glad you got the help.

I understand how you feel doctors look at you like your crazy when you say its because of weed.I went to the medical walk in so many times they literally told me not to come back for these symptoms. I got it for the second time yesterday. The first time it happened I quit smoking and it went away within a week. But eventually I started smoking again more and more often because I didn't have any symptoms. I start off light like smoking once a week and since I felt fine I keep using more and more often now I'm back to chs. If you ever go back to smoking you have to smoke without raising your tolerance and you will be ok .like smoke once a month or every 2 weeks

@@ScrumpDiIIy After having CHS I will never smoke heavily again, the addiction with weed is crazy because it can be very enjoyable, if you SERIOUSLY can't 100 percent quit you should just ONLY do it during special occasions like if you go to a concert or something. I'm trying hard to just limit my smoking to doing it socially like I used to and never habitually smoking weed ever again like I was when I was doing it 5-6 times a day 7 days a week! It's like telling an alcoholic they can NEVER drink again, most would look at you and laugh! It's so damn hard to quit cold turkey.

Hey. Question . When you stop smoking for several months , then smoke again, how long does it usually take until the symptoms come back? I Have been sober for 8 months after developing early stages of CHS. Was wondering if I go back to smoking 1-2 times a month, if you think the symptoms would return ?

PS This only happened at night, never in the morning.

PPS I DID increase my water/liquid intake which helped as well.

Thank you for sharing.

Yes it does cause bowel movement issues as well.

And it shouldn't be illegal.

Hey man I just read your whole story. It’s EXTREMELY similar to what I went through. I’ll give you my basic story. Started smoking a little over a year ago. I started with dabs. All day every day. After about 3 months I started to notice that I felt “off”. I developed what felt like hunger pains in my upper abdomen but a bit more intense. I would use the restroom a ridiculous amount of times every day. My muscles felt weaker than normal. Oddly enough smoking weed dramtically reduced the symptoms… until the next morning. After continuing usage I developed a “gag reflex”. It started off weak but over time grew so strong I couldn’t brush my teeth or talk without gagging. Gag once and you can’t stop throwing up. Once I started throwing up my heath started spiraling out of control. Cold sweats, fatigue, extreme nausea etc. so I went to urgent care the next day. They did a H pylori(?) blood test and came back negative. Then they diagnosed me with gastro paresis. I continued smoking. Two days later I couldn’t eat anything… this was becoming a life of death problem and I legit thought I was going to die…

I discovered one trick to dramatically reducing symptoms temporarily… hot showers/baths. You literally go from wanting to die to normal. However if you aren’t under hot water symptoms come back FAST. So I go to urgent care again two days later with a new doctor. I describe all of my habits very openly and he tells me I have CHS. I’d never heard of it at the time but he told me it’s a relatively rare phenomenon that’s becoming more popular by the month. Only happens in chronic users (like me). He prescribed me high dose zofran which is an anti nausea. He said if his theory is right the medication won’t work but no harm in trying. Sure enough it did absolutely nothing. He told me the hard truth that the ONLY way to relieve symptoms is to stop all forms of marijuana. So I did for a week. The first 5 ish days were legitimately hell. But then I started noticing the stomach pains went down in intensity and my gag reflex became less intense. After 2 weeks I almost felt completely normal. This is the first time I really felt like my old self in months. Since i was doing better I decided to try it again…

For the first few weeks it was fine… until I started taking heavy daily doses. Then like before the symptoms grew stronger by the day until it became unbearable again. So I stopped using. Sure enough after a week or so I felt good as new again. CHS is very real and after reading your story I’d give it a 99 percent chance that you have it. It’s more common then people think and the only way for it to truly stop is if you stop completely. As an ex hardcore stoner I know how hard this can be to accept when weed is such a big part of your life. Believe me bro it is not worth it. People have died from kidney failure due to dehydration from vomiting. If you’re still feeling symptoms I have learned little tricks to make it easier. Hot showers do wonders just don’t go too hot or you will burn your flesh and skin (thousands of patients do this). If you can eat, DO IT. I’ve noticed two things make the symptoms SIGNIFICANTLY worse: exercise and being on an empty stomach. This probably plays a role in why symptoms are more severe in the morning. If you can’t eat try to freeze electrolyte drinks into ice cubes and suck on them. If you ever get to the point where you can’t eat or drink (if you continue to use without a break this WILL happen) DO NOT WAIT go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY to get an IV. when you throw up it’s insane how fast you dehydrate… your kidneys will suffer irreversible damage if you don’t act fast enough I’m not saying this to scare you, but I’ve had a years worth of experience plus countless hours of research and I’d hate to see another human go through the same thing. Feel free to hit me up with any questions you have. Much love
