Hey all, first Reddit post, 22M. Have been a heavy and chronic weed smoker for ~4 years, mostly flower with some wax and edibles here and there. This is my second CHS episode in 7 months, had my first one in October. It seems there’s a common theme of denial amongst potheads which I had fallen victim to. But after this second episode I’m sure I’m done, this disorder has hospitalized me both episodes due to severe dehydration. Typically what happens is I wake up with morning nausea and then start sweating and puking. Will get in the shower and take reglan/apply capsaicin cream and that helps for a little bit then I’m back to square one. Can’t sleep at night either even though my body is exhausted.
This is probably the most mentally and physically draining illness I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, the only thing I can think about is how my stomach is feeling 24/7. It’s quite debilitating actually. But if you have any encouragement or tips please leave them!
