CHS was by far the worst pain Ive ever felt in my life. I remember sitting on the edge of my bed for 20 hours straight bawling, begging for it to stop. I thought I was dying. Id never heard of CHS. Then came the justifying, then came the testing different strains, methods, potencies.... Finally I realized I would never be the same and accepted defeat. Yesterday was 1 year off and Im a normal person again. Is it benign for most, sure. But more and more people are coming to me with the symptoms. The biggest I see are the anxiety, the stabbing stomach pains, the loss of appetite and the morning sickness. Thanks for what you do
@@UnseemlyGenie00I've had two kids, and chs was the worst pain in my life. Just because you don't have the same experience doesn't mean you minimize others.
This needs A LOT MORE ATTENTION. It’s costing billions in unnecessary medical care. People should know what that the chances of getting this disease are.
I have been dealing with this since I started smoking in high school and didn't know what it was. Last year, I found out what CHS was. My symptoms have never been as severe as I have heard from others' testimonials. Over the past year, I have had it come back twice, but I am now much more aware of the symptoms and have learned to take breaks and to slow down my use when I'm not having symptoms. Abstinence is not the only answer.
This is the most in depth study I have seen on CHS. Thank you for doing this research. I hope we can come up with a cure one day. After watching this it seems like the cure might have something to do with gene therapy.
@ I did quit smoking. I just think it’s cool that there are people researching it so we can maybe one day still be able to enjoy the medicinal benefits of cannabis even with having chs.
Please run another study in Illinois! THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW THIS! I’m sick of being misdiagnosed! I was in Cultivation and they DO NOT grow it like your grandparents parents use to! I’m going on 10 years cannabis use and now all of sudden when it got “legal” I GOT SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just didn't smoke weed yesterday and went to the gym then i started getting a bad stomach pain i noticed it wasn't mt first time feeling this and it happens every time i don't smoke. Now i know why i just can't stop smoking weed. I will quit tho i will have to go through this in the near future
@growermindset CHS also seen in patients who source cannabis from licensed sources where plants are grown organically, without pesticides. Common denominator is high frequency of smoking/vaping high levels of THC.
I've been smoking off and on for 14 years. Never chronic, but since medical cannabis is trending in SA, my use hit an all time high, and it wasn't long before I became aware of feeling nauseous in the morning, even when I waked and baked which made little sense. When I discovered CHS about a month ago, I didn't give it the attention it deserves, because after a tolerence break, I decided to quit smoking it, and do an edible or so of I was extremely sore from working out or really needed to relax, etc. I then made a fatal mistake and decided to spoil myself with a live resin vaporizer as I was feeling stressed and believed I was past smoking it (mostly because of the complaints of 2nd hand smoke) Anyway, the day I got it I completely overdid, and can end off by saying I'm not telling ya'll what to do but do you research and understand that thc levels are far from "natrual".
I have found CHS has damaged my vagus nerve. This is some information I found on the internet about a damaged vagus nerve. A damaged vagus nerve can cause a range of symptoms because the nerve affects many areas of the body: Digestive issues: Acid reflux, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or feeling full after eating little Voice changes: Hoarseness, wheezing, or loss of voice Chronic coughing: Vagus nerve damage can cause chronic coughing. Pain in the throat: Vagus nerve damage can cause pain in the throat Swallowing and gag reflex: Difficulty swallowing or loss of gag reflex Heart and blood pressure changes: Changes in heart rate or blood pressure, or low blood pressure Dizziness or fainting damage to the vagus nerve can affect sleep patterns: Low vagal tone Low vagal tone can lead to sleep disturbances, insomnia, fatigue, and other physiological symptoms of depression. Other symptoms: Unexplained weight loss, brain zaps, or impending doom Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, or chronic mood issues damage to the vagus nerve can affect the bowels: damage to the vagus nerve can cause muscle twitching damage to the vagus nerve can cause tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. The vagus nerve sends sensory feedback signals that help with hearing, and when the nerve is damaged or compressed, these signals can become incorrect or blocked. damage to the vagus nerve can affect muscles in the larynx, pharynx, and other parts of the body: damage to the vagus nerve can cause numbness, tingling, or other sensory symptoms: Gastroparesis When the vagus nerve is damaged, food may not move from the stomach to the intestines. Poor digestion When the vagus nerve isn't working properly, the stomach may not produce enough acid to digest food. This can lead to bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, or gastro-esophageal reflux. Digestive conditions Poor vagal nerve function can be linked to digestive conditions such as: Heartburn, acid reflux, or GERD IBS, including chronic constipation and diarrhea Inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) damage to the vagus nerve can cause unexplained weight loss. The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls unconscious bodily functions like sweating, breathing, and digestion. It's also part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body calm down after a stressful situation. The first thing to combat CHS is to stop smoking straight away. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. Drink plenty of water. Eat foods high in fibre. Start straight away by trying to strengthen the vagus nerve. There are several ways to strengthen or stimulate the vagus nerve, including: Breathing Deep, slow, diaphragmatic breathing can activate the vagus nerve. You can try belly breathing, where your stomach expands as you inhale. Cold therapy Applying cold compresses to your face or neck, or taking a cold shower, can stimulate the vagus nerve. Massage Massaging the back of your ears and the front side of your ear can stimulate the vagus nerve. You can also try carotid sinus massage, which involves lightly massaging the carotid artery in your neck. Exercise Endurance activities like jogging, cycling, and swimming can stimulate the vagus nerve. Diet Eating a whole-foods diet, and taking probiotics or omega-3 fatty acids, can support the vagus nerve. Meditation Meditation can improve vagal tone. Singing and humming Singing and humming can increase vagal tone. Positive social connections Spending time with people who make you laugh and smile can have a positive benefit on vagal tone. I have found cranial therapy helps a great deal. I hope this information can help you whoever has taken the time to read this. God bless you all.

It's not all that painful. Sounds like you have another problem besides CHS.
It is that painful for some
@@sheilamoon1752 bull. I know I've had it three times
@@UnseemlyGenie00 It is extremely painful. Of course pain is subjective and might not seem as bad if you have experienced something even more painful.
@@UnseemlyGenie00I've had two kids, and chs was the worst pain in my life. Just because you don't have the same experience doesn't mean you minimize others.
The worst part is the cycle you get into when you use pot for the acute symptoms without knowing you’re turning it into a chronic problem
indeed

Stop smoking

Thanks for all the info today ✌️💀👍
Patients are almost never forth coming with information regarding previous diagnoses of this condition or their cannabis use
Please run another study in Illinois! THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW THIS! I’m sick of being misdiagnosed! I was in Cultivation and they DO NOT grow it like your grandparents parents use to! I’m going on 10 years cannabis use and now all of sudden when it got “legal” I GOT SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can this occur with edibles
I have it and have never smoked. I have only used gummies for a few months. Its horrible
Mold toxicity from improperly drying cannabis.
Noo
