I have suffered for 30 years. Nobody could tell me what it was. Keep spreading the word. I don't tell people not to smoke - BUT - I sure don't anymore.
I struggled with it for over ten years and had no idea about this. Just had the worst bout 4 weeks ago. In the hospital 2 in a week. I lost 16lbs in 4 days. I’m so glad that the doctors knew about this because I thought that cannabis was a tool to help the nausea and vomiting. Little did I know it was the cause.
Thank you for your testimony. The weed today hit different from the 80’s and 90’s. I swear they putting something else in it; some of it doesn’t smell nature. That said, I’m praying for you and I wish you strength, peace, and healing.
it hits different because there's so much more THC in it lmao. like drinking a beer vs taking 3 double shots back to back. now with so many legal states, there's quality shit everywhere now, way less people are buying that $20 zip of brick ass reggie weed that you need to smoke half of it to get a tiny buzz
It happened to me. I am going on 3wks, I couldnt breathe. My lungs are taking a long break, it's all the chemicals they are using,to grow it ,is what causing these illnesses, grow ur own.😢
Back in the day weed was better, in the 80s I never threw up, but when the my children grew up they would throw up I noticed! Truth be told it causes mental problems!
This is very real! Experiencing it myself. It’s probably under diagnosed because ppl lie to their doctors. I’m 12 days free of weed and I’m NEVER going back. It gets better after 10 days free of weed. It goes from all day sickness to half a day. Still not out of the water but thankful for partial relief. Hot Showers and HOT peppers/pickles provide some relief. You can also buy Capsaicin cream from over the counter and rub it on the stomach every 2-4 hours as needed. Stay strong people!
Thanks been trying to quite every day it’s getting easier but when I get bored I wanna smoke End up going the whole day then boom night time I need to smoke Trying to quite because seems like I’m always nauseous even when I do smoke So much !!!
I’m dealing with this right now and I just screenshot of this thank you so much I really need help but I have no clue how I’m gonna quit it’s so hard to not smoke because I battle with depression and suicidal tendencies and weed is the only thing that turns that part of my brain off so I don’t know what I’m gonna do but CHS made me lose my job my relationships basically ruined my whole life and I just don’t know what to do I can’t help it I want to smoke
My wife just went through an intense episode of CHS (stage 2) . We are currently at the hospital I showed her this video to get some education and insight from somebody who also went through it. Thank you for sharing and I know my wife appreciates it. Stay strong!
I hope she doing better bro the pain is something that has you begging god to please help you with it and Ik it must be hard for you seeing your wife like that bc I think if my siblings or parents were going thru this is never ever wish this on them I’d go thru it for them that’s how bad it is
Hi, my sister has been really struggling with not being able to smoke weed anymore, to the point that she seems depressed and cries about it when weed is brought up. Did you manage to stay sober or have you figured out a way to smoke on a smaller scale that doesnt trigger CHS?
I’m going through this for months and months, and I cried about every day because of the pain and nausea. I’ve only thrown up once, but have been nauseated all day long for so long, and the feeling of my stomach balling up is horrible and I can’t get anything down. I’ve also had horrible diarrhea with this as well. It’s miserable. It helps to know you’re not the only one. Praying for all of us. God bless.
Hey just stumbled upon this. Changed my diet cut out gluten for 2 years but still had episodes. Driving me to near insanity trying to change my meds and seeing gastros. I realize that this sucks but hell knowing I can go through basically poising my body for 5 years of smoking I know I can go through anything as can you. First time I have read about diarrhea. I would on occasion have throw up episodes. Always thought it was due to alcohol. But 95% of the time diarrhea. God bless you and for sharing your knowledge. Just a week free of the za and I’m feeling so much better and I guess it’s good to save money too. Good luck on the journey in front of you in life!
God bless you for sharing! I had no idea what I thought was helping me was actually causing my symptoms. I have wanted to end it all, as there seemed to be no answer. Bless you for sharing! I pray your life is beautiful!
The truth can sent you free. If you remind yourself of it. Thankful you have found the reason for this sickness and quit the cause of it all. God bless and keep you and heal you.
Girl, I am right there with you. This is the beginning of my second really bad episode and it’s so hard to learn from. My first episode I almost died from. Kidneys were shutting down, heart was irregular, and my body was seizing. The only way to stop getting sick is to stop any form of cannabinoids. It suuuucks so bad but the smoke isn’t worth the risk. People will come at us and say “oh it’s the pesticides.” No tf it’s not. People also believe that because this happens to us we are anti-Jane. Hell no, I love weed, I know it has benefits, that’s why I used it. But though this is a rare disorder, hospitals are seeing this more and more and people need to be aware. There is no need to attack us or disregard our painful and very scary experience because they feel like we are attacking the pro-cannabis community. We aren’t, we are warning about what can happen. Just like anything, too much can lead to some very serious side effects for some. I see this is from 5 months ago, how are you feeling now? You’re validated.
14 long long yrs most recent i caught covid at the same time and I didn't eat for 2 whole weeks!!! and never allowed myself to believe it was the weed...I'm in uk so things are different here kept it to myself every hospital trip...but the relief to hear these stories is amazing!!
Sorry to hear that you was so sick how are you now ? I had it too and have had it for years but I just put up with it I recently got so bad i felt like I was going to die i haven't had any weed now for 5 days but my stomach is in so much pain do you know how long the stomach pains last ??
Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been seen in my local ER a minimum of 15 times since Easter this year with CHS symptoms. It wasn’t until this last Sunday’s ER visit that a doctor even mentioned CHS. I was in agony, bent over and pacing by the bed. Moaning and crying. He was floored that no one has mentioned it to me. I’ve been through a battery of tests, all come back normal. I had gastric bypass in 2012 so everyone thinks it’s something wrong with that, but endoscopies prove all is well there too! My own PCP has made this even worse because he thinks that I just want painkillers. He’s delayed them, for days, knowing that it was the only way I could even eat. I had gained some weight back from the surgery but then promptly have lost 55lbs since Easter. I’m sure I have some form of PTSD just from how badly my own physician has treated me. I 100% know that feeling of hopelessness. I’ve only smoked for 6 years and I’m 57. The thought of dealing with this for the rest of my life was more than I could deal with and started losing hope. Until now. Thank you so much for sharing. Like you, I want to help others. I never felt so alone and close to death as I have with this. It has changed me. I’m even terrified to go to any medical facility now due to how I’ve been mistreated. I know I need counseling for a while. I’ll never touch pot again, and I’ve been “sober” for 5 days now. Praise GOD for the truth being revealed!
omg, sweet girl. i'm so sorry you went through this. i just discovered this was happening to me too (i'm a combat veteran and HEAVY daily smoker for over 20 yrs). I just left the VA emergency room 2 days ago and the nurses said there were 4 of us in there with the same issue. i'm hoping you're better now seeing this video is from a year ago. i literally thought i might die from a heart attack because the pain was SO BAD, SO WRETCHING.....how could anyone's heart handle this type of pain, and I'm pretty f*cking tough too. been hurt in so many ways but CHS is HORRIBLE. God bless you, Sierra and I hope you're flourishing in life after trees! We can do this!
first thing, I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope you are feeling a lot better. I am currently going through the same thing and it sucks. Physically and mentally CHS takes a huge downfall on your body. I honestly started back smoking because I am going through a lot at home and I needed something to numb myself for what is happening around me. Try to keep us updated as much as you can, it feels good that you are not alone dealing with this. I wish anybody else that is going through the same thing as well a speedy recovery 💙
The best thing to do is ditch the high potency stuff like carts and wax. i only use flower now and have no issues aslong as i eat before i smoke and dont depend on weed for an apitite. i normally can tell if the syptoms are coming on like bloating, anxitey, nausia after i eat, and cold chills. if you have those symptoms just take a break for a few days depending on your weight because THC binds to fat.
This video is so real! I've been exactly where you are multiple times. The symptoms are unbearable for sure. Thank you for educating us. More people need to know about this
Thank you so much for posting this. I am waiting on an endoscopy currently but I’ve had to stop smoking and it has been very hard for me to not smoke cause that was my lifestyle, my life centered around weed. I don’t think it’s as rare as it is said to be, I think it is just widely misdiagnosed with people not telling their doctors about their smoking habits, no type of testing for it, and the medical communities limited knowledge on weed due to the lack of research we have been able to do.
Yeah but it's really not that hard to figure out all I know is when I consume weed I get lazy and don't take care of myself that's all we need to know. lol! Those that know know what it's like to feel like shit from this drug especially when it takes over.
So glad you were diagnosed and are doing better. FYI, Pregnant women can also experience hyperemesis. Their body has a hard time adjusting to the pregnancy and they experience sever vomiting, unhealthy weight loss, pain and organs starting to shut down. It can be deadly. My daughter suffered from this when she was pregnant. Just sharing in hopes of helping someone.
Exactly. This seems highly unlikely to be CAUSED by smoking weed but has been cured by smoking to alleviate the vomiting from pregnancy. This video seems very misleading and highly unlikely when cannabis hasn’t made you sick before. The body just poops out excess nutrients. Cannabinoids are nothing more than another nutrient. It’s possible to be allergic, but to be randomly allergic is odd too.
Bless ur beautiful heart girl!😂 Thank you for honesty, being open, for sharing ur story . Please don't stop n be encouraged because lady u are Sooo worth it!!
Thank you so much for making this video !! I’m 19 and for the past year I’ve been smoking not a bunch maybe jsut a joint a day or a few hits and have been so so so sick I really felt as if I was dying I did. A month ago a doctor told me about Chs and I’ve been clean since. It was so horrible I would never wish it on someone but I find so much comfort in this video knowing someone else knows what it’s like emotionally physically it’s so hard it is I never thought weed could do this and yes smoking hot showers helped me but it’s good to know about this disease mine was all day everyday missing work missing family time I thought I was on a death bed thanks again for the video
Going through it rn, 12 days clean. Thank you for your story!! This is no joke!! The withdrawals are kicking my butt but I’m gonna stick with it, I love myself more than weed!
Thank you for sharing. I relate heavily to your story, I haven't had an episode since 2018 and I recently got it back late 2021... This time around got me thinking about my weed consumption. Normally my episodes last over a week but this one lasted 5 days but that was enough to wake me up. I lost 20 pounds in 3 DAYS... Please if you go through this consider your intake of weed, I believed it helped me in many facets of my life but the truth is I end up in the hospital once I begin smoking "how I want to smoke" which is on a daily basis heavily.
The beauty is that you want to heal and that’s where change starts. I do pray a speedy recovery for you, and that you help others with this condition because it is real.
Thanks for taking the time to document your experience! So many of us going through something similar with CHS. Similar to you, I started smoking weed around 17/18… It’s taken me almost 23 years to find out what the hell is wrong with my and what’s been causing it all along. I can’t even recall the amount of times I’ve been in and out of the ER over the years. I have seen so many doctors with no avail. I got out of the ER yesterday morning. While I was there, the doctor asked if I smoke marijuana. And I asked why? She said that lately a lot of people that smoke marijuana have started to come to the ER with the same exact symptoms (severe nausea and uncontrollable vomiting); but it’s more than that. It’s draining on all levels, mentally, physically, spiritually. I too have decided to give up one of the things that I enjoyed the most in life.
I smoked 7-14 grams a day for 10 plus years im now suffering from this and it hurt ls because it’s what my world was centered around I don’t drink or use any other drugs always been weed and now this gets taken away from this is a long road ahead of me but I rather be healthy than to even play with this and suffer wish me luck and good luck to all
how are you doing 7 to 14 a day you must be wasteing most of that by smoking joints but not really getting all the smoke. i smoke with a bong 3 bowls every 3 or 4 hours thats like 3 grams a day and im high all day every day. you must be smoking like 5 full bowls every few hours ? just wondering
Thank you for sharing your story 🖤 to know there’s others with the same thoughts as me makes me feel less alone .. I just recently got diagnosed with CHS this year but my episodes started last year & never knew what was causing it I would just blame the food I was eating .. literally everything else you’ve said I can relate to … I never imagined myself without weed either , I’m barely 9 days sober & there’s still moments I want to pick it back up but remember how excruciating the pain was and don’t think it’s worth it anymore :(
Your video is a year old and I'm just now understanding. I've been going through this for years and never knew. I hate life. I can't eat, poop, it smell food. I've been hospitalized because my intestines flipped inside out from throwing up. The pain...I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Today is May 9th...I haven't smoked since April 24. My water bill is so high from taken hot baths. This is death on earth. I will never smoke again. Watching my mom cry over my hospital bed changed everything. It's the worst.
It is definitely real. I'm with you and you are not alone. I'm recovering from it right now. I've been dealing with this for years. I absolutely love weed but it's not worth the health risks. I'm hoping and praying that one day they'll have a cure for it.
Ive never heard someone talk about this. I felt so alone and like maybe the doctor was lying to me or judging me based on me telling them the truth about me smoking weed. The pain is unbreable. I had another episode less than a week ago and I seriously thought i was going to die. I basically passed out after throwing up for 3 hours straight and filling up half a trashbag . Quitting is very hard. I have cptsd and i use weed to cope with anxiety and depression also. They say it isnt addicting but it very well can be an emotional addiction. Thank you so much for sharing my story. Ive been smoking for about 8 years now daily, like no less than 5-6 blunts/woods a day and i havent heard anyone be honest about this battle. When i experinced it for the first time it felt unreal and like my body was betraying me. So proud of you for finally quitting 👏🏾 i know how hard it is and i have so much respect for you for it knowing it was hurting you. Im having a hard time doing thay for myself ❤ thank you
I have these same symptoms but haven’t been able to go to the doctor except for the ER. I’ve lost 54 lbs in 9 months. I’m getting better slowly. They gave me Zofran and Haldiol. I’m so sorry you are going through this. It doesn’t make a difference but I’m with you girl. I hope you feel better very soon ❤❤❤
I was diagnosed 6 days ago. Gone through really bad times and nearly died. Quit cannabis now for 8 days and feeling betterish. I am still fighting with food now and then. Not being sick or dry wreching anymore but I have lost so much weight. Stomach has bloated because of not eating. I would stop eating for 4 to 5 days thinking it was a food intolerance. Eventually 2 years later I called the doctor and I was rushed into hospital. They gave me a drip and lots of medicines to try and pick me up. My kidneys have been affected with dehydration but I will get there eventually. Your doing a marvellous job posting about this disease. I am still sweating alot and shaking now and then but I am slowly getting better. Please you guys if you have any of those symptoms just STOP SMOKING WEED! I am able to think better, communicate with others more. Appetite slowly picking up but it's gonna take time for me to recover. Just making music keeping myself busy. Your looking fabs so keep up the great work and stay healthy
I’m glad you are sharing your story. I see this all the time in the hospital with young people, especially those whose parents and family smoke everyday with them. One patient had burns on her body from taking so many hot showers. She was up to 20+ showers a day. Blessings to you! ❤
It is from hypersaturation of the cannabinoid receptors. Chronic, heavy use can cause this in certain individuals, including myself. It is terrible to go through, to me it's worse than the stomach flu.
Thank you for popping up in my youtube feed. I’m 63 and have smoked since 16. Obviously, the weed is a lot different than the rag weed from the past. I’ve suffered with this a couple of different times in my life. Last time was 2020-23. I needed to hear this. I teach hot yoga and am in a heated environment 4 days a week. I really feel like that has been a saving grace in many ways. I’ve decided to taper off reef. Yes it’s addicting, of course it is but MaryJane has been my best friend and it’s time to part ways. I hope you are feeling healthy and happy once again. Take care. 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with Gerd as well and had multiple episodes just like you and blamed it on the food. It was a very sad time because I felt as there wasn’t nothing I could eat.
I feel your pain. I’ve been up since yesterday cyclic dry heaves. Sleep deprived because there is no rest from the wrenching pain in my stomach and the sweating. Body aches so bad. Shit girl, the last time this happened I was diagnosed with a fatty gallbladder and they removed it. I literally wanted to die. It only affects 2% of heavy pot users. Good luck lady. I’m praying for you.
I’m just seeing this & I hope that you are well and continuing on your greatness! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you 🙏🏽❣️ Continue to spread your Testimony and Know You Got This Because the Almighty got You/Us!
it's been 2yrs for me not smoking weed. I feel so much better.. not being high. when I look back at my pics of myself I look sick dried up lips black and unhealthy with no weight. I don't miss it at all..
I developed CHS after about a year of daily use. I have never used illegal drugs or used marijuana recreationally. I obtained my medical marijuana license because I was in a severe car accident and I didn't want to get hooked on opiates for my severe pain. I thought at first maybe it was the carts, so I stopped all THC concentrate use and went to only flower. It took longer for the symptoms to appear, but eventually the stomach pain, nausea and vomiting returned. The anxiety and paranoia were horrific. It was borderline psychosis.
Just got diagnosed with this as well and you are absolutely right there is no end date. My first encounter was 2012 and it lasted for over 6 months. Im currently going through it now and have been for 3weeks now, I can’t eat, sleep or drink anything atm. Im glad you found the strength to stop I’ve been smoking for 20 years so I know it wasn’t easy i just hope i can stop
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m also a lifelong smoker and finally found out about CHS about 6 weeks ago. So much of what you’ve said is exactly what I went through too. ❤
Hey young lady, I will,keep you in my prayers as I begin my my journey. I have had those symptoms off and on for year’s and I just recently (today) decided that I don’t want to stop smoking weed , but I have to if I want to remain on this earth. I am 65 and have been smoking weed since age 16 off and on. And off. Two years ago and because I didn’t tell my doctor I was a weed smoker. So I had my gall bladder removed, and 3 to 6 month later the symptoms returned. So now I will put my embarrassment aside and tell the doctor about my weed addiction
I had chs and I did not know I had it. I was smoking weed for 30 years. 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 stomach pains and stomach cramps and I vomited and didn't understand why, so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. I split from my wife and children, so I was already in a bad state of depression, not sleeping, and not eating too 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. But I continue to smoke. 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 jokes when trying to sleep. Tinnitus in the ears. Body shaking once I did fall to sleep when 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 and nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Muscle spasms in my throat 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, causing my throat to close, and i could not breathe when I lie down. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors. But muscle relaxant tablets which I could not take. And sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia,. I was told by the dr to sleep sitting up due to the muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down to sleep. So I had to sleep sitting up. Has 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 done 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 when I was able to lie down without my throat going into spasms 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. Through this whole period, 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'm 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. 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 TH-cam and type in chs back then. But even the videos on TH-cam 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 🙏
Everything you have said even down to how’s its effecting your family is exactly what I grow thru with each episode my last one last 2 weeks I was in The ER twice and had low potassium! It does make u feel so hopeless Thank you for sharing you gave excellent detail.
Thank you Sierra.🙏💚 It's amazing that you're spreading the word on a relatively unknown condition and your very brave, we're proud of you. For me I feel nauseous but don't vomit much, the effects are more psychological, Paranoia, psychosis and panic attacks. The gut is the first brain, so surely it's all linked. Weed is getting stronger, its GMO'd and a huge amount of pesticides and fertilizers are more frequently used.
Thank you for sharing. I know someone very close that has this and they related to everything. quitting is the best thing for CHS. The Dr. bills are very real!
This is serious. My daughter I believe is experiencing this we just received a 1,300.00 bill. And she has a sliding hiatus hernia. She would get so sick, she could not smoke, now eating. Just straight vomiting and that is when she would loose weight. She went 6 days with vomiting and no eating. People don't believe this is real people have died from it. Ty so much for this video.
Ive been dealing with that too Girl even the smell of weed can break you down I would Hold on my nose when ever i smell weed from a mile away It sure messes up with your self esteem since you get anxiety from this Just so you know Ginger is very helpful not just for the sickness but for your overall body health you can try it out 👌🏼
Thanks for that very honest and unfiltered share. It made me well up when you got emotional. I know exactly what you mean about losing the will to live. At least now you know what it is and more importantly what is causing it. Stay strong.
I’m currently going through this and you’re right about everything. No will to live or have positive thoughts, especially withdrawing from thc whilst trying to recover from this disorder. Watching these types of videos help a great amount though and I thank you for sharing your experiences. I’m so glad you’re doing so much better physically and mentally, it helps a lot! Can you post a chs update video on how you coped at the time and still to this day. Again thank you for this❤️
Sorry to hear you're sick! Can you tell me if it may have started with frequent, strong heartburn? Gute Besserung! As we say in Germany: may your healing go well!
@@Weirdkauz No it started with not having an appetite, then nausea came on, and finally the SEVERE vomiting occurred. I’m the kind of person that rarely gets heartburn, i love spicy food so much and eat it all the time and rarely experienced heartburn. Thank you for your wishes! On the 27th of this month I have a gastroenterologist appointment for an edg procedure, it sucks because im still vomiting and I haven’t smoked weed since 2 weeks. I threw up already 4 times this morning and i’ve only been up for 2 hours. I’m just hoping it’s nothing that serious because i’m STILL vomiting. Before this started I weighed about 160 now I weigh 142. I’m losing my life because of weed.
hope they find a therapy for this, i'm not affected, but i stopped smoking because i feel lucky that after about a decade of daily smoking, my gut still works fine. ngl, there was days were i would feel naseuous and stuff. but i never experienced this over a extended period of time. never vomited. i'm trying to get all my friends that still smoke to take liberal breaks now. spread the information to prevent them from getting this crazy illness. i hope your health took a turn for the better. thanks for sharing your story!
Gurl thanks for sharing! I am the only person I know going through this ! I been going through this for about 5 years ! After about 20 hospital trips , just recently they have been saying stay away from the weed . That made me do my own research and found out I had this ! But mines is terrible, I got so dehydrated I always have to go to the hospital, and there for about 3 Days. After researching and reading the commentary on TH-cam , everyone is saying theirs stopped once they stopped smoking . I recently stopped so we will see ! Same thing with me ran a bunch of test etc they told me I had gastritis and Gerd . We have the same exact symptoms constant vomiting , dehydrated, weak , getting hot then cold , hot showers the only relief I know gurl I know 😩Good luck gurl , you’re not alone ❤️
@@GrnChli I actually had a episode 2 weeks ago right after writing this comment , but I had just stopped smoking so I still had a lot of weed in my system , I’m ok now haven’t been back so hopefully it will stop .
I've been told 2-3 times by the ER that i might have this,, buy I've BRB smoking 37 years, I'm 47 now, WHY am I just now getting sick from dabs/weed, when I NEVER used to get sick, & it only started since I've been buying LEGAL Marijuana here in Reno??? 🤔 Make it make sense??? Edit: Fellow Chicagoan, grew up on Kedzie & School & Chicago Ave & Avers.
Did you ever get over it? My son is going thru this. It’s been hell on him and it’s been hell on me and his mom. This shit is for real and we had never heard of it before. He’s going on day nine. Finally stopped puking. There’s only one cure. Stop smoking. This is hard for him because he built part of his identity around weed. No way around it though. This shit has been a nightmare.
So glad you’re doing better. It can lead to kidney failure and even pancreatitis, which can kill a person. The dehydration is what sets off the decline of the organs. Congrats to you for recognizing this and taking it seriously. It’s very serious and sort of sucks because you’d never think “your bud” would let you down, but - it has. Smoked for as long as you and I’m 8 months clean and haven’t felt better. Mixed feelings about quitting because it was a part of my life, and I enjoyed it, but - as you know - it is a nightmarish cycle. You’ll be good, but you have to stay away from it. You’re allergic to thc now. Hang in there. It gets better. Edit: didn’t realize this was a year ago. Came up in my feed today. lol so anyone reading this-take it. Seriously. ❤
Hey there! We share the same mission! So good seeing you come out and share your story! How are you doing today? I see this video is old. Hope you are still on track! Thank you for sharing.
This made me feel better that I’m not alone I just found out three days ago it’s so hard to stop smoking but this made me have hope I swear I hope things are going well babes ❤️
I smoked for 25 years Probably had chs for 10 years undiagnosed... found out about it about 2 months ago because I came across it on the Internet something about the hot showers Its not easy but keep going I had a could of relapses but hopefully we can keep off the herb and make a new life for ourselves Good luck 👍
Don’t Worry Young Black Queen The More Your Over Thinking Isnt Doing Anything And Makes Everything Worse. Everyday Is A New Day. And It Could Of Been Worse Then What It Is. stay Clean Drink Plenty Of Water And Exercise.. And Travel .
Thanks for posting this queen. I’ve been dealing with the same thing the past few days. Extreme stomach pain, non stop vomiting and nausea. I will never be smoking weed again. I’m not addicted so I can quit whenever. But I will miss the stress free feeling of weed
You explained this so well.. 😢 it truly is hard to believe that you will make it through this. Lose the urge to live. Constant depression and physical pain. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I hope I can overcome this and never go through it again.
Thank you for sharing your story. My friend has had 5 episodes of this in the past year. 4 ER visits. I keep telling her this is a real thing, but she gets so defensive and says it's her menstrual cycle. I'll share your video with her. Hopefully, she finally gets it. I hope you are doing well❤
I know I know I know . I suffer from the same condition . At first I didn’t believe it because I thought marijuana helped . But this last bout I spent 14 days in the VA hospital. Then spent 10 days in acute rehab unit because the vomiting completely drained me that I was so weak I wasn’t able to walk . But it hit home for me thst this is real once the doctor told me I have been admitted 8 times in the last year for the same thing CHS, like I said earlier I didn’t believe it because . The vomiting, having to sit in the shower for hours at a time , not being able to walk . As soon as I would open my eyes in the morning the nausea would kick in , then the profuse vomiting . So I feel you , and I thank you for getting the word out . Friends and family member who I would smoke with convinced me that Marijuana wasn’t the problem , but I was in denial . I’ve been clean for about 3 weeks now with no marijuana use , so I’m taking a turn for the better . But sista I feel you , just keep doing what you doing !!! Much love !!!!
So…I was diagnosed with gastroparesis recently but have had Gi severe Gi issues my whole life. I had a hysterectomy a year ago and other surgeries prior. I always used pot since 16 I am now 27 and still using it today. I didn’t have anything to help the pain with the endometriosis for years and cannabis was all I had. I have had a medical card for years and my issues have only gotten worse. This came up on an algorithm and I am really glad I found this!! Could anyone shed more light on this? Had to edit this when you started crying because I did too. I feel like I am dying. I am also ashamed that all of my money is gone…
I really appreciate you doing this video! I try to warn my regular weed-smoking friends about this but they seem totally convinced that weed is completely harmless. Also, how are you doing now? I hope you have gotten much better! We need an update!
Weed is generally harmless, but you just can't go smoking anything. No one has ever died from smoking weed, it's a plant that comes out of the dirt. But people add chemicals and if they are not properly flushed you are smoking those chemicals too. And if you are rolling traditional blunts you are smoking tobacco too. Leave your friends alone! lol If they have an issue with weed then it's up to them to investigate. If they are not having an issue then who are you to tell them what to do. Are you going to tell Rastafarians to stop smoking weed too? I think if something is causing you pain you need to take a step back and find out why, unless you like pain. My two cents.
Your not alone I get extremely sick as well every morning and I been smoking the gas for years and now I really have to stop because I been going threw so many jobs not knowing what the cause was and getting sick every morning like you been after smokin the day before I'm very sorry you are dealing with this to taking numerous showers a day with my back being cherry red like I just got a suntan out of the shower do to that being the only relieve like you stated in this video this shit is real and I just want to say thank you for making this video I will support you all the way had to go to hershey medical center to get the answer after have upper gi docters putting camera down my throat while they put me to sleep 3 different times me thinking they were missing something and they were crazy chs gets miss diagnosed so much!
Thanks... fascinating. Sorry about you getting landed with it. I hope never to form it, but I'm more aware now about giving myself a break. I did get "saturated" a bit and felt nauseous a couple days and when weed exaggerated it greatly, it seemed it was the weed. I threw up twice and instinctively showered for relief like 3 times. In my case my system kind of caught up and started tolerating more, but if it did not, that nausea and illness amplified could have turned into that, it seems. And while my body adjusted, this time, I won't bet the farm it always will. I did feel like I was "full up with cannabinoids until it reached toxicity" and my body wanted to get rid of it, confused into vomiting and crapping and showering. Thanks! I will never ignore the possibility and keep smoking now that you taught me this.
I had this yesterday and didn’t even know. I believe this video is a message for me. I’ve been this way for years and being a big smoker I’ve had my breaks in the past. I had cancer so it helped me a lot, now I’m thinking I’ve had this too in the past. I use to dry heave and be sick and my family use to think I was a drunk, God send me this video to make a change.
I have suffered for 30 years. Nobody could tell me what it was. Keep spreading the word.
I don't tell people not to smoke - BUT - I sure don't anymore.
Horses for courses. Hope you're better now.
Ive been struggling 8 years, i would want to know if your health declined similar to mine
I struggled with it for over ten years and had no idea about this. Just had the worst bout 4 weeks ago. In the hospital 2 in a week. I lost 16lbs in 4 days.
I’m so glad that the doctors knew about this because I thought that cannabis was a tool to help the nausea and vomiting. Little did I know it was the cause.
Thank you for your testimony. The weed today hit different from the 80’s and 90’s. I swear they putting something else in it; some of it doesn’t smell nature. That said, I’m praying for you and I wish you strength, peace, and healing.
it hits different because there's so much more THC in it lmao. like drinking a beer vs taking 3 double shots back to back. now with so many legal states, there's quality shit everywhere now, way less people are buying that $20 zip of brick ass reggie weed that you need to smoke half of it to get a tiny buzz
Yes indeed
It's gmo
@@ShandaP018 yep all synthetic
It happened to me. I am going on 3wks, I couldnt breathe. My lungs are taking a long break, it's all the chemicals they are using,to grow it ,is what causing these illnesses, grow ur own.😢
Back in the day weed was better, in the 80s I never threw up, but when the my children grew up they would throw up I noticed! Truth be told it causes mental problems!
Y not wrong.
I’ll Never Go Back 15 Days Clean
How are u doing now ? I’m going thru this rn it’s so bad
Starting counting once I 💨 out!
How about now?
@@jeremiassaucedo4430im with you
@@jeremiassaucedo4430I’m on day 8 any tips or can you tell me what to expect for the next few days pls,
This is very real! Experiencing it myself. It’s probably under diagnosed because ppl lie to their doctors. I’m 12 days free of weed and I’m NEVER going back. It gets better after 10 days free of weed. It goes from all day sickness to half a day. Still not out of the water but thankful for partial relief.
Hot Showers and HOT peppers/pickles provide some relief. You can also buy Capsaicin cream from over the counter and rub it on the stomach every 2-4 hours as needed. Stay strong people!
Thanks been trying to quite every day it’s getting easier but when I get bored I wanna smoke
End up going the whole day then boom night time I need to smoke
Trying to quite because seems like I’m always nauseous even when I do smoke
So much !!!
I’m dealing with this right now and I just screenshot of this thank you so much I really need help but I have no clue how I’m gonna quit it’s so hard to not smoke because I battle with depression and suicidal tendencies and weed is the only thing that turns that part of my brain off so I don’t know what I’m gonna do but CHS made me lose my job my relationships basically ruined my whole life and I just don’t know what to do I can’t help it I want to smoke
@@Ginathatsme8189 hows that going?
My wife just went through an intense episode of CHS (stage 2) . We are currently at the hospital I showed her this video to get some education and insight from somebody who also went through it. Thank you for sharing and I know my wife appreciates it. Stay strong!
Good luck to your wife and strength to both of you!
I hope she doing better bro the pain is something that has you begging god to please help you with it and Ik it must be hard for you seeing your wife like that bc I think if my siblings or parents were going thru this is never ever wish this on them I’d go thru it for them that’s how bad it is
I’m almost 3 months free of weed and I’ve really been missing it. This reminded me to keep going. Thank you for sharing your story!! ❤️❤️
Hi, my sister has been really struggling with not being able to smoke weed anymore, to the point that she seems depressed and cries about it when weed is brought up. Did you manage to stay sober or have you figured out a way to smoke on a smaller scale that doesnt trigger CHS?
Are you smoking again? Are you still weed free?
The pain is not worth it I’ve been going thru it for a month
thanks for the help comments baby @@jeremiassaucedo4430
Light 1 up
I’m going through this for months and months, and I cried about every day because of the pain and nausea. I’ve only thrown up once, but have been nauseated all day long for so long, and the feeling of my stomach balling up is horrible and I can’t get anything down. I’ve also had horrible diarrhea with this as well. It’s miserable. It helps to know you’re not the only one. Praying for all of us. God bless.
Hey just stumbled upon this. Changed my diet cut out gluten for 2 years but still had episodes. Driving me to near insanity trying to change my meds and seeing gastros. I realize that this sucks but hell knowing I can go through basically poising my body for 5 years of smoking I know I can go through anything as can you. First time I have read about diarrhea. I would on occasion have throw up episodes. Always thought it was due to alcohol. But 95% of the time diarrhea. God bless you and for sharing your knowledge. Just a week free of the za and I’m feeling so much better and I guess it’s good to save money too. Good luck on the journey in front of you in life!
Yes diarrhea I’m currently experiencing this now. I had a colonoscopy done two months ago, absolutely nothing wrong. So it must be this. Omg 😱
God bless you for sharing! I had no idea what I thought was helping me was actually causing my symptoms. I have wanted to end it all, as there seemed to be no answer. Bless you for sharing! I pray your life is beautiful!
The truth can sent you free. If you remind yourself of it. Thankful you have found the reason for this sickness and quit the cause of it all. God bless and keep you and heal you.
Girl, I am right there with you. This is the beginning of my second really bad episode and it’s so hard to learn from. My first episode I almost died from. Kidneys were shutting down, heart was irregular, and my body was seizing. The only way to stop getting sick is to stop any form of cannabinoids. It suuuucks so bad but the smoke isn’t worth the risk. People will come at us and say “oh it’s the pesticides.” No tf it’s not. People also believe that because this happens to us we are anti-Jane. Hell no, I love weed, I know it has benefits, that’s why I used it. But though this is a rare disorder, hospitals are seeing this more and more and people need to be aware. There is no need to attack us or disregard our painful and very scary experience because they feel like we are attacking the pro-cannabis community. We aren’t, we are warning about what can happen. Just like anything, too much can lead to some very serious side effects for some.
I see this is from 5 months ago, how are you feeling now? You’re validated.
I definitely stopped and haven’t had a episode since 🎉 it’s truly the only way ❤️
14 long long yrs most recent i caught covid at the same time and I didn't eat for 2 whole weeks!!! and never allowed myself to believe it was the weed...I'm in uk so things are different here kept it to myself every hospital trip...but the relief to hear these stories is amazing!!
Plant growth hormones
Can you speak on the heart being irregular
Sorry to hear that you was so sick how are you now ? I had it too and have had it for years but I just put up with it I recently got so bad i felt like I was going to die i haven't had any weed now for 5 days but my stomach is in so much pain do you know how long the stomach pains last ??
Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been seen in my local ER a minimum of 15 times since Easter this year with CHS symptoms. It wasn’t until this last Sunday’s ER visit that a doctor even mentioned CHS. I was in agony, bent over and pacing by the bed. Moaning and crying. He was floored that no one has mentioned it to me. I’ve been through a battery of tests, all come back normal. I had gastric bypass in 2012 so everyone thinks it’s something wrong with that, but endoscopies prove all is well there too! My own PCP has made this even worse because he thinks that I just want painkillers. He’s delayed them, for days, knowing that it was the only way I could even eat. I had gained some weight back from the surgery but then promptly have lost 55lbs since Easter. I’m sure I have some form of PTSD just from how badly my own physician has treated me. I 100% know that feeling of hopelessness. I’ve only smoked for 6 years and I’m 57. The thought of dealing with this for the rest of my life was more than I could deal with and started losing hope. Until now. Thank you so much for sharing. Like you, I want to help others. I never felt so alone and close to death as I have with this. It has changed me. I’m even terrified to go to any medical facility now due to how I’ve been mistreated. I know I need counseling for a while. I’ll never touch pot again, and I’ve been “sober” for 5 days now. Praise GOD for the truth being revealed!
FFS, you never told the Doctors you were a heavy, daily pot user? What a goose.
omg, sweet girl. i'm so sorry you went through this. i just discovered this was happening to me too (i'm a combat veteran and HEAVY daily smoker for over 20 yrs). I just left the VA emergency room 2 days ago and the nurses said there were 4 of us in there with the same issue. i'm hoping you're better now seeing this video is from a year ago. i literally thought i might die from a heart attack because the pain was SO BAD, SO WRETCHING.....how could anyone's heart handle this type of pain, and I'm pretty f*cking tough too. been hurt in so many ways but CHS is HORRIBLE. God bless you, Sierra and I hope you're flourishing in life after trees! We can do this!
People have died from CHS. It's no joke. Thanks for sharing your story and best of luck.
And all this time I thought weed couldn't kill you
As a fellow survivor, thank you for the video.
Us CHS people gotta have eachother's backs
Going thru it rn. Please send me good vibes, I’m suffering a lot.
@@senoracristiana3650 You got this. Just take those hot baths, and try to relax as best as you can.
Thank you for posting this. You’re so courageous💪🏾❗️
first thing, I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope you are feeling a lot better. I am currently going through the same thing and it sucks. Physically and mentally CHS takes a huge downfall on your body. I honestly started back smoking because I am going through a lot at home and I needed something to numb myself for what is happening around me. Try to keep us updated as much as you can, it feels good that you are not alone dealing with this. I wish anybody else that is going through the same thing as well a speedy recovery 💙
The best thing to do is ditch the high potency stuff like carts and wax. i only use flower now and have no issues aslong as i eat before i smoke and dont depend on weed for an apitite. i normally can tell if the syptoms are coming on like bloating, anxitey, nausia after i eat, and cold chills. if you have those symptoms just take a break for a few days depending on your weight because THC binds to fat.
How has it been going ?? Do you still smoke weed and when you did the feeling come back or what ??
This video is so real! I've been exactly where you are multiple times. The symptoms are unbearable for sure. Thank you for educating us. More people need to know about this
Thank you so much for posting this. I am waiting on an endoscopy currently but I’ve had to stop smoking and it has been very hard for me to not smoke cause that was my lifestyle, my life centered around weed. I don’t think it’s as rare as it is said to be, I think it is just widely misdiagnosed with people not telling their doctors about their smoking habits, no type of testing for it, and the medical communities limited knowledge on weed due to the lack of research we have been able to do.
Yeah but it's really not that hard to figure out all I know is when I consume weed I get lazy and don't take care of myself that's all we need to know. lol! Those that know know what it's like to feel like shit from this drug especially when it takes over.
So glad you were diagnosed and are doing better.
FYI,
Pregnant women can also experience hyperemesis. Their body has a hard time adjusting to the pregnancy and they experience sever vomiting, unhealthy weight loss, pain and organs starting to shut down. It can be deadly. My daughter suffered from this when she was pregnant. Just sharing in hopes of helping someone.
Exactly. This seems highly unlikely to be CAUSED by smoking weed but has been cured by smoking to alleviate the vomiting from pregnancy. This video seems very misleading and highly unlikely when cannabis hasn’t made you sick before.
The body just poops out excess nutrients. Cannabinoids are nothing more than another nutrient. It’s possible to be allergic, but to be randomly allergic is odd too.
@@GeatrizTMkeep excusing your addiction. It’s real
I didn't know that wow but that makes sense. How terrible.
Yeah but a different type of hyperemesis …
@@GeatrizTMi’m sorry but you’re joking?? people have died from this and i’m suffering from this now. my vomiting stopped after i quit. so stfu.
Bless ur beautiful heart girl!😂
Thank you for honesty, being open, for sharing ur story . Please don't stop n be encouraged because lady u are Sooo worth it!!
Thank you so much for making this video !! I’m 19 and for the past year I’ve been smoking not a bunch maybe jsut a joint a day or a few hits and have been so so so sick I really felt as if I was dying I did. A month ago a doctor told me about Chs and I’ve been clean since. It was so horrible I would never wish it on someone but I find so much comfort in this video knowing someone else knows what it’s like emotionally physically it’s so hard it is I never thought weed could do this and yes smoking hot showers helped me but it’s good to know about this disease mine was all day everyday missing work missing family time I thought I was on a death bed thanks again for the video
Going through it rn, 12 days clean. Thank you for your story!! This is no joke!! The withdrawals are kicking my butt but I’m gonna stick with it, I love myself more than weed!
Thank you for sharing. I relate heavily to your story, I haven't had an episode since 2018 and I recently got it back late 2021... This time around got me thinking about my weed consumption. Normally my episodes last over a week but this one lasted 5 days but that was enough to wake me up. I lost 20 pounds in 3 DAYS... Please if you go through this consider your intake of weed, I believed it helped me in many facets of my life but the truth is I end up in the hospital once I begin smoking "how I want to smoke" which is on a daily basis heavily.
Going thru this rn and can’t say enough how relatable this video was. Thank u for the clarity 🙏🏼
The beauty is that you want to heal and that’s where change starts. I do pray a speedy recovery for you, and that you help others with this condition because it is real.
Thanks for taking the time to document your experience! So many of us going through something similar with CHS. Similar to you, I started smoking weed around 17/18…
It’s taken me almost 23 years to find out what the hell is wrong with my and what’s been causing it all along. I can’t even recall the amount of times I’ve been in and out of the ER over the years. I have seen so many doctors with no avail. I got out of the ER yesterday morning. While I was there, the doctor asked if I smoke marijuana. And I asked why? She said that lately a lot of people that smoke marijuana have started to come to the ER with the same exact symptoms (severe nausea and uncontrollable vomiting); but it’s more than that. It’s draining on all levels, mentally, physically, spiritually. I too have decided to give up one of the things that I enjoyed the most in life.
I smoked 7-14 grams a day for 10 plus years im now suffering from this and it hurt ls because it’s what my world was centered around I don’t drink or use any other drugs always been weed and now this gets taken away from this is a long road ahead of me but I rather be healthy than to even play with this and suffer wish me luck and good luck to all
how are you doing 7 to 14 a day you must be wasteing most of that by smoking joints but not really getting all the smoke. i smoke with a bong 3 bowls every 3 or 4 hours thats like 3 grams a day and im high all day every day. you must be smoking like 5 full bowls every few hours ? just wondering
@@Guthix198 4 eight blunts a day
Thank you for sharing your story 🖤 to know there’s others with the same thoughts as me makes me feel less alone .. I just recently got diagnosed with CHS this year but my episodes started last year & never knew what was causing it I would just blame the food I was eating .. literally everything else you’ve said I can relate to … I never imagined myself without weed either , I’m barely 9 days sober & there’s still moments I want to pick it back up but remember how excruciating the pain was and don’t think it’s worth it anymore :(
Your video is a year old and I'm just now understanding. I've been going through this for years and never knew. I hate life. I can't eat, poop, it smell food. I've been hospitalized because my intestines flipped inside out from throwing up. The pain...I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Today is May 9th...I haven't smoked since April 24. My water bill is so high from taken hot baths. This is death on earth. I will never smoke again. Watching my mom cry over my hospital bed changed everything. It's the worst.
pray you're doing much better now... im on day 35 sober
Girl you made me cry because I know your pain so bad I’m literally going through the same exact thing and this shit is so hard and miserable 😩
It's terrible.
It is definitely real. I'm with you and you are not alone. I'm recovering from it right now. I've been dealing with this for years. I absolutely love weed but it's not worth the health risks. I'm hoping and praying that one day they'll have a cure for it.
Ive never heard someone talk about this. I felt so alone and like maybe the doctor was lying to me or judging me based on me telling them the truth about me smoking weed. The pain is unbreable. I had another episode less than a week ago and I seriously thought i was going to die. I basically passed out after throwing up for 3 hours straight and filling up half a trashbag . Quitting is very hard. I have cptsd and i use weed to cope with anxiety and depression also. They say it isnt addicting but it very well can be an emotional addiction. Thank you so much for sharing my story. Ive been smoking for about 8 years now daily, like no less than 5-6 blunts/woods a day and i havent heard anyone be honest about this battle. When i experinced it for the first time it felt unreal and like my body was betraying me. So proud of you for finally quitting 👏🏾 i know how hard it is and i have so much respect for you for it knowing it was hurting you. Im having a hard time doing thay for myself ❤ thank you
Thanks for the information and sharing your experience great video hope you are better God bless you and thank you for this video
I have these same symptoms but haven’t been able to go to the doctor except for the ER. I’ve lost 54 lbs in 9 months. I’m getting better slowly. They gave me Zofran and Haldiol. I’m so sorry you are going through this. It doesn’t make a difference but I’m with you girl. I hope you feel better very soon ❤❤❤
I was diagnosed 6 days ago. Gone through really bad times and nearly died. Quit cannabis now for 8 days and feeling betterish. I am still fighting with food now and then. Not being sick or dry wreching anymore but I have lost so much weight. Stomach has bloated because of not eating. I would stop eating for 4 to 5 days thinking it was a food intolerance. Eventually 2 years later I called the doctor and I was rushed into hospital. They gave me a drip and lots of medicines to try and pick me up. My kidneys have been affected with dehydration but I will get there eventually. Your doing a marvellous job posting about this disease. I am still sweating alot and shaking now and then but I am slowly getting better. Please you guys if you have any of those symptoms just STOP SMOKING WEED! I am able to think better, communicate with others more. Appetite slowly picking up but it's gonna take time for me to recover. Just making music keeping myself busy. Your looking fabs so keep up the great work and stay healthy
I’m glad you are sharing your story. I see this all the time in the hospital with young people, especially those whose parents and family smoke everyday with them. One patient had burns on her body from taking so many hot showers. She was up to 20+ showers a day. Blessings to you! ❤
It is from hypersaturation of the cannabinoid receptors. Chronic, heavy use can cause this in certain individuals, including myself. It is terrible to go through, to me it's worse than the stomach flu.
Thank you for popping up in my youtube feed. I’m 63 and have smoked since 16. Obviously, the weed is a lot different than the rag weed from the past. I’ve suffered with this a couple of different times in my life. Last time was 2020-23. I needed to hear this. I teach hot yoga and am in a heated environment 4 days a week. I really feel like that has been a saving grace in many ways. I’ve decided to taper off reef. Yes it’s addicting, of course it is but MaryJane has been my best friend and it’s time to part ways. I hope you are feeling healthy and happy once again. Take care. 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing, this needs to be talked about more. I had an episode this whole week and been down bad.
Thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with Gerd as well and had multiple episodes just like you and blamed it on the food. It was a very sad time because I felt as there wasn’t nothing I could eat.
I feel your pain. I’ve been up since yesterday cyclic dry heaves. Sleep deprived because there is no rest from the wrenching pain in my stomach and the sweating. Body aches so bad.
Shit girl, the last time this happened I was diagnosed with a fatty gallbladder and they removed it. I literally wanted to die.
It only affects 2% of heavy pot users.
Good luck lady. I’m praying for you.

We're all in the same boat. I said I'd not ever stop smoking weed. God proved me wrong.

it's been 2yrs for me not smoking weed. I feel so much better.. not being high. when I look back at my pics of myself I look sick dried up lips black and unhealthy with no weight. I don't miss it at all..
Thank you for sharing, you sharing your experience has really helped me.
Thank you for sharing this. So sorry you had to go through this, I hope you are feeling better now. ♥️
I developed CHS after about a year of daily use. I have never used illegal drugs or used marijuana recreationally. I obtained my medical marijuana license because I was in a severe car accident and I didn't want to get hooked on opiates for my severe pain. I thought at first maybe it was the carts, so I stopped all THC concentrate use and went to only flower. It took longer for the symptoms to appear, but eventually the stomach pain, nausea and vomiting returned. The anxiety and paranoia were horrific. It was borderline psychosis.
Just got diagnosed with this as well and you are absolutely right there is no end date. My first encounter was 2012 and it lasted for over 6 months. Im currently going through it now and have been for 3weeks now, I can’t eat, sleep or drink anything atm. Im glad you found the strength to stop I’ve been smoking for 20 years so I know it wasn’t easy i just hope i can stop
It is not worth it life is way more beautiful than a night to smoke
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m also a lifelong smoker and finally found out about CHS about 6 weeks ago. So much of what you’ve said is exactly what I went through too. ❤
Hey young lady, I will,keep you in my prayers as I begin my my journey. I have had those symptoms off and on for year’s and I just recently (today) decided that I don’t want to stop smoking weed , but I have to if I want to remain on this earth. I am 65 and have been smoking weed since age 16 off and on. And off. Two years ago and because I didn’t tell my doctor I was a weed smoker. So I had my gall bladder removed, and 3 to 6 month later the symptoms returned. So now I will put my embarrassment aside and tell the doctor about my weed addiction
I had chs and I did not know I had it. I was smoking weed for 30 years. 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 stomach pains and stomach cramps and I vomited and didn't understand why, so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. I split from my wife and children, so I was already in a bad state of depression, not sleeping, and not eating too 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. But I continue to smoke. 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 jokes when trying to sleep. Tinnitus in the ears. Body shaking once I did fall to sleep when 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 and nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Muscle spasms in my throat 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, causing my throat to close, and i could not breathe when I lie down. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors. But muscle relaxant tablets which I could not take. And sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia,. I was told by the dr to sleep sitting up due to the muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down to sleep. So I had to sleep sitting up. Has 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 done 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 when I was able to lie down without my throat going into spasms 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. Through this whole period, 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'm 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. 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 TH-cam and type in chs back then. But even the videos on TH-cam 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 🙏
💪✊ thanks for the share
Everything you have said even down to how’s its effecting your family is exactly what I grow thru with each episode my last one last 2 weeks I was in The ER twice and had low potassium! It does make u feel so hopeless
Thank you for sharing you gave excellent detail.
thank you for sharing.
Respect.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I didn’t know about this disorder. I hope that you are doing much much better. I appreciate you!🙏🏼💕
Thank you Sierra.🙏💚
It's amazing that you're spreading the word on a relatively unknown condition and your very brave, we're proud of you.
For me I feel nauseous but don't vomit much, the effects are more psychological, Paranoia, psychosis and panic attacks.
The gut is the first brain, so surely it's all linked.
Weed is getting stronger, its GMO'd and a huge amount of pesticides and fertilizers are more frequently used.
Thanks for sharing ❤️ I was clueless about diagnosis, never heard of it. This was so informative.
I’m sorry sweets. I’m going through this currently and it’s feels like a never ending train to hell. I hope you’re doing well. You look amazing.
Thank you for sharing. I know someone very close that has this and they related to everything. quitting is the best thing for CHS. The Dr. bills are very real!
This is serious. My daughter I believe is experiencing this we just received a 1,300.00 bill. And she has a sliding hiatus hernia. She would get so sick, she could not smoke, now eating. Just straight vomiting and that is when she would loose weight. She went 6 days with vomiting and no eating. People don't believe this is real people have died from it. Ty so much for this video.
$1,300 is nothing; The average cost of medical bills before CHS diagnosis is $100,000
God bless you! You’re in my prayers 🙏🏽. My 23 year old has been suffering from this
Growing your own allows you to know quests in it. Great testimony.
Ive been dealing with that too
Girl even the smell of weed can break you down
I would Hold on my nose when ever i smell weed from a mile away
It sure messes up with your self esteem since you get anxiety from this
Just so you know Ginger is very helpful not just for the sickness but for your overall body health you can try it out 👌🏼
Thank you for sharing. I hope you get better.
Thanks for that very honest and unfiltered share. It made me well up when you got emotional. I know exactly what you mean about losing the will to live. At least now you know what it is and more importantly what is causing it. Stay strong.
I’m currently going through this and you’re right about everything. No will to live or have positive thoughts, especially withdrawing from thc whilst trying to recover from this disorder. Watching these types of videos help a great amount though and I thank you for sharing your experiences. I’m so glad you’re doing so much better physically and mentally, it helps a lot! Can you post a chs update video on how you coped at the time and still to this day. Again thank you for this❤️
Sorry to hear you're sick! Can you tell me if it may have started with frequent, strong heartburn?
Gute Besserung! As we say in Germany: may your healing go well!
@@Weirdkauz No it started with not having an appetite, then nausea came on, and finally the SEVERE vomiting occurred. I’m the kind of person that rarely gets heartburn, i love spicy food so much and eat it all the time and rarely experienced heartburn. Thank you for your wishes! On the 27th of this month I have a gastroenterologist appointment for an edg procedure, it sucks because im still vomiting and I haven’t smoked weed since 2 weeks. I threw up already 4 times this morning and i’ve only been up for 2 hours. I’m just hoping it’s nothing that serious because i’m STILL vomiting. Before this started I weighed about 160 now I weigh 142. I’m losing my life because of weed.
hope they find a therapy for this, i'm not affected, but i stopped smoking because i feel lucky that after about a decade of daily smoking, my gut still works fine. ngl, there was days were i would feel naseuous and stuff. but i never experienced this over a extended period of time. never vomited. i'm trying to get all my friends that still smoke to take liberal breaks now. spread the information to prevent them from getting this crazy illness. i hope your health took a turn for the better. thanks for sharing your story!
This is the worst pain i have ever felt.
Thanks for sharing. I am sharing this with younger ones who think its safe.
Praying for you to be free of this additions. Thank you for being so open.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Glad I came across this 🙌🏾my son dad is goin through this nonthing helping him and I hate seeing him like this he vomiting and spitting alot
Gurl thanks for sharing! I am the only person I know going through this ! I been going through this for about 5 years ! After about 20 hospital trips , just recently they have been saying stay away from the weed . That made me do my own research and found out I had this ! But mines is terrible, I got so dehydrated I always have to go to the hospital, and there for about 3 Days. After researching and reading the commentary on TH-cam , everyone is saying theirs stopped once they stopped smoking . I recently stopped so we will see ! Same thing with me ran a bunch of test etc they told me I had gastritis and Gerd . We have the same exact symptoms constant vomiting , dehydrated, weak , getting hot then cold , hot showers the only relief I know gurl I know 😩Good luck gurl , you’re not alone ❤️
@@GrnChli I actually had a episode 2 weeks ago right after writing this comment , but I had just stopped smoking so I still had a lot of weed in my system , I’m ok now haven’t been back so hopefully it will stop .
Thank you for sharing your experience I pray that you can heal and feel normal once again 😊🙏🙏🙏
I've been told 2-3 times by the ER that i might have this,, buy I've BRB smoking 37 years, I'm 47 now, WHY am I just now getting sick from dabs/weed, when I NEVER used to get sick, & it only started since I've been buying LEGAL Marijuana here in Reno??? 🤔
Make it make sense???
Edit: Fellow Chicagoan, grew up on Kedzie & School & Chicago Ave & Avers.
Bro they poisoned our shit.
The CDC poisoned our weed bro!!!!
Did you ever get over it? My son is going thru this. It’s been hell on him and it’s been hell on me and his mom. This shit is for real and we had never heard of it before. He’s going on day nine. Finally stopped puking. There’s only one cure. Stop smoking. This is hard for him because he built part of his identity around weed. No way around it though. This shit has been a nightmare.
So glad you’re doing better. It can lead to kidney failure and even pancreatitis, which can kill a person. The dehydration is what sets off the decline of the organs. Congrats to you for recognizing this and taking it seriously. It’s very serious and sort of sucks because you’d never think “your bud” would let you down, but - it has. Smoked for as long as you and I’m 8 months clean and haven’t felt better. Mixed feelings about quitting because it was a part of my life, and I enjoyed it, but - as you know - it is a nightmarish cycle. You’ll be good, but you have to stay away from it. You’re allergic to thc now. Hang in there. It gets better.
Edit: didn’t realize this was a year ago. Came up in my feed today. lol so anyone reading this-take it. Seriously. ❤
I kept having bad bouts of vomiting and pain in my tummy, I had gallstones
@@IfuAintCrocin it takes awhile to get over and the moment you smoke cannabis again - it comes back.
@@IfuAintCrocinare u better now ?
@@jeremiassaucedo4430 yes, thank you. It’s been a while since then.
@@IfuAintCrocinthats good to hear when I hear people are doing better from this it literally eases my pain. How long till you started feeling better ?
please keep posting, you’re an inspiration i’m on day 4 of my episode and i’ve had them so many times before. i’ve quit and i can do it again
Keep going You can do it I’m on day 14 🥰 we got this sis it ain’t worth it
Hey there! We share the same mission! So good seeing you come out and share your story!
How are you doing today? I see this video is old. Hope you are still on track! Thank you for sharing.
This made me feel better that I’m not alone I just found out three days ago it’s so hard to stop smoking but this made me have hope I swear I hope things are going well babes ❤️
I smoked for 25 years
Probably had chs for 10 years undiagnosed... found out about it about 2 months ago because I came across it on the Internet something about the hot showers
Its not easy but keep going
I had a could of relapses but hopefully we can keep off the herb and make a new life for ourselves
Good luck 👍
Thank you so much for talking about this. I hope you are doing better!
Don’t Worry Young Black Queen The More Your Over Thinking Isnt Doing Anything And Makes Everything Worse. Everyday Is A New Day. And It Could Of Been Worse Then What It Is. stay Clean Drink Plenty Of Water And Exercise.. And Travel .
Thanks for posting this queen. I’ve been dealing with the same thing the past few days. Extreme stomach pain, non stop vomiting and nausea. I will never be smoking weed again. I’m not addicted so I can quit whenever. But I will miss the stress free feeling of weed
You explained this so well.. 😢 it truly is hard to believe that you will make it through this. Lose the urge to live. Constant depression and physical pain. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I hope I can overcome this and never go through it again.
Thank you for being so honest. Videos like this make me feel like fighting through this is worth it
The longest relationship I've ever had was 10 years with Mary Jane every single day.. but now she's killing me, so it's time to part ways...
Thank you for sharing your story. My friend has had 5 episodes of this in the past year. 4 ER visits. I keep telling her this is a real thing, but she gets so defensive and says it's her menstrual cycle. I'll share your video with her. Hopefully, she finally gets it. I hope you are doing well❤
I hope she listens even just hearing people stories put me in pain knowing how bad it is
I know I know I know . I suffer from the same condition . At first I didn’t believe it because I thought marijuana helped . But this last bout I spent 14 days in the VA hospital. Then spent 10 days in acute rehab unit because the vomiting completely drained me that I was so weak I wasn’t able to walk . But it hit home for me thst this is real once the doctor told me I have been admitted 8 times in the last year for the same thing CHS, like I said earlier I didn’t believe it because . The vomiting, having to sit in the shower for hours at a time , not being able to walk . As soon as I would open my eyes in the morning the nausea would kick in , then the profuse vomiting . So I feel you , and I thank you for getting the word out . Friends and family member who I would smoke with convinced me that Marijuana wasn’t the problem , but I was in denial . I’ve been clean for about 3 weeks now with no marijuana use , so I’m taking a turn for the better . But sista I feel you , just keep doing what you doing !!! Much love !!!!
I’ve been dealing with this for more than a week 😭 I’m going to have to quit. Today is my first day.
So…I was diagnosed with gastroparesis recently but have had Gi severe Gi issues my whole life. I had a hysterectomy a year ago and other surgeries prior. I always used pot since 16 I am now 27 and still using it today. I didn’t have anything to help the pain with the endometriosis for years and cannabis was all I had. I have had a medical card for years and my issues have only gotten worse. This came up on an algorithm and I am really glad I found this!! Could anyone shed more light on this?
Had to edit this when you started crying because I did too. I feel like I am dying. I am also ashamed that all of my money is gone…
I really appreciate you doing this video! I try to warn my regular weed-smoking friends about this but they seem totally convinced that weed is completely harmless.
Also, how are you doing now? I hope you have gotten much better! We need an update!
Weed is generally harmless, but you just can't go smoking anything. No one has ever died from smoking weed, it's a plant that comes out of the dirt. But people add chemicals and if they are not properly flushed you are smoking those chemicals too. And if you are rolling traditional blunts you are smoking tobacco too. Leave your friends alone! lol If they have an issue with weed then it's up to them to investigate. If they are not having an issue then who are you to tell them what to do. Are you going to tell Rastafarians to stop smoking weed too? I think if something is causing you pain you need to take a step back and find out why, unless you like pain. My two cents.
Your not alone I get extremely sick as well every morning and I been smoking the gas for years and now I really have to stop because I been going threw so many jobs not knowing what the cause was and getting sick every morning like you been after smokin the day before I'm very sorry you are dealing with this to taking numerous showers a day with my back being cherry red like I just got a suntan out of the shower do to that being the only relieve like you stated in this video this shit is real and I just want to say thank you for making this video I will support you all the way had to go to hershey medical center to get the answer after have upper gi docters putting camera down my throat while they put me to sleep 3 different times me thinking they were missing something and they were crazy chs gets miss diagnosed so much!
Thanks... fascinating. Sorry about you getting landed with it. I hope never to form it, but I'm more aware now about giving myself a break. I did get "saturated" a bit and felt nauseous a couple days and when weed exaggerated it greatly, it seemed it was the weed. I threw up twice and instinctively showered for relief like 3 times. In my case my system kind of caught up and started tolerating more, but if it did not, that nausea and illness amplified could have turned into that, it seems. And while my body adjusted, this time, I won't bet the farm it always will. I did feel like I was "full up with cannabinoids until it reached toxicity" and my body wanted to get rid of it, confused into vomiting and crapping and showering. Thanks! I will never ignore the possibility and keep smoking now that you taught me this.
I had this yesterday and didn’t even know. I believe this video is a message for me. I’ve been this way for years and being a big smoker I’ve had my breaks in the past. I had cancer so it helped me a lot, now I’m thinking I’ve had this too in the past. I use to dry heave and be sick and my family use to think I was a drunk, God send me this video to make a change.
I hope your life is back on track ❤️ much love and thank you for telling your story
3 days clean so far after my chs episode. thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for sharing
