Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome

Right..I'm a nerve pain med user.
The information I give is from my personal homework.
It may or may not help..but it could save years of homework like I had to do.
I believe a lot of our med problems come from one place... metabolic problems.
That is why cannabis works as a panacea for multiple health problems.

When we had the med section going on site we had a program going that was helpful.
We also had a check list going for Communal symptoms.. because most of us have common symptoms even though our diseases are varied.

The largest communal symptom is insomnia.
If anyone drops in a list of symptoms..could you please let us know if you undersleep..or oversleep.. :doc3: ..

Personal one.. when I damaged my nerve it killed my thermo control..my whole arm can drop it's temperature..and I can't really feel it until it is too late...it kind of switches it off from the rest of my body.

This makes me wonder if there is a connection to the hot water treatment relieving the pain symptom..coz either a hot shower or bath would raise your Core temperature...thermo control.

And..the last connection... when my nerve pain reaches intolerable levels..I projectile vomit..:headbang:..I can't even feel it going to happen..but hubby says my face changes..and he knows it is going to happen.. consequently he has become king of grabbing whatever is nearest to hand and catching projectile vomit mid air...:biggrin:

Communal symptoms..food for thought...
 
Twat.... :crying: ..days......I couldn't take the prescription drugs..that is why I was put on the experimental treatment...:tonic:..

They didn't stop the pain...but I didn't know who the hell I was at the end of the day...:headbang:.. personality altering.

I came off all 3 treatments cold turkey....:yoinks2:..

And..it was when I was in the UK.. BC.. before cannabis..

If the doctors gear had worked..:doc3:.. AFN would not exist..coz I wouldn't have turned to cannabis for my answers...:pass:
My experience with Gabapentin is pretty much the same . VA sent it to me in huge bottles .
They had me on a pretty high doses, three times a day. That was in addition to a muscle relaxant. And early on it was real opiates and then finally the fake bullshit Tramadol, that gave me headaches.
Opiates never helped nerve pain, only Skeletal.
I never really much took the opiates consistently. I just hated the effect.

Now that's the meds they had me on well after leaving the military. I don't really much remember the exact meds they had on me right after the Injury. It was just over four months before I could transition over to an outpatient physical therapy program. They had me heavily medicated as I began my physical therapy program!:face:I guess it worked in one way. It did let me do the therapy. I still felt all the nerve pain, but really didn't give a damn.:doh:
Once I was able to go home, the opiates seldom got used.......but they kept refilling the prescription. Finally after going through three medical boards and a year and a half, they approved me fit for Sea duty. There's no telling how many bottles of opiates I threw away when I went back to sea duty. If I had them now, I bet I could sell them and build my grow room and fully equip it !

I really haven't researched it too much of any extent of CHS and I hope I don't have to delve further, but I really think this is an immune response. The question is what triggers the response?
I used to have absolutely no allergies whatsoever, but then I Wintered over in Hawaii. Absolutely no idea what I was exposed to that caused it, whether it was some sort of plant or some sort of chemical. It made my immune system hypersensitive.
Maybe that's a contributing factor to why I've only caught the Flu twice since '89.

A ton more research is needed, duh!
 
but I really think this is an immune response


Me too... :headbang: ..and an immune response mean an autoimmune disease.

Have you looked into any...?...I'd suggest anyone thinking along autoimmune responses looks at Hashimotos disease.

It has a lot of communal symptoms.

When i start to vomit my body literally pours out sweat like I can soak my clothes in a minute and my body gets ice cold. I get so super thirsty. Its a weird sensation having cold skin but still be pouring sweat. I haven't thrown up like that in about 4 months now since I backed off a lot but I still was getting headaches after smoking and would get heart burn or acid reflux and a weird confusion. I would sleep OK but when I would wake up I would feel like I was going to pass out and I never felt rested even though I would get 7 hrs of sleep.
Now that I haven't smoked in 7 days I sleep maybe 4 hrs a night and feel supercharged, and ready to go like I use to feel.
I was on Zoloft for about 6 years in my mid 20s and when I went through withdrawal from that it lasted like 6 months and the withdrawal felt very similar to this CHS. Could be something to do with Serotonin levels which i believe cannabis effects which has been a thought I've had.

I definitely know what it feels like to wake up in a cold sweat, but that's from fighting 'demons from the past'.

Now I have had cold sweats at other times, but they were either extreme danger or extreme anger incidents. Both brought on by extreme Adrenaline release. I have also noted slight nausea, but never thrown up, mainly because I seldom do throw up..

My brother goes through that same stuff from fighting in Afghanistan. He had a few years we thought he was going crazy because he literally thought he had demons attacking him. I use to take him to the VA twice a week for therapy and treatment. Hes better now n works at the VA in Pennsylvania.

Just encourage him to go get help and talk about it when he wants to.
Him realizing he has a problem is the first step. Denial has killed far too many of our combat veterans.
I'm happy he's found a niche in life where he can have some close support.
 
Damn you sound more intelligent on this matter than all the Docs I've seen!
Thanks for the spelling correction. After all the OD battles you must know i can't spell and my grammar dont grammar lol.
Ive also had it diagnosed at
Cannabis Hypertension Syndrome not sure if that's the same beast or not. Possibly a mistake by the doc.
😅-- sorry to heat that..? The lack of info is frustrating, but it's getting better...just not so much in the USA because of the damn drug scheduling rating, politics and restrictions on research here...

The hypertension thing is news to me...:wtf: ...sounds like a stretch to me to rank it as an official "syndrome". Though it's well known that THC and some terpenes can affect heart rates. Anybody that has smoked certain landrace Sativa's, some Haze pheno's, or the like and had that bad biker crank jittery raciness effect can attest to this elevated heart beat effect!

Funny, I was just talking about this at another forum, about a wonky off-pheno of Acapulco Gold I grew that had a super sharp metallic citrus aroma and a wicked nasty high at first. The worst heart racing effect I ever felt, it was literally like crank/speed or an overdose of Sudaphed allergy meds! That, along with a not-so-friendly psychotropic high, meaning if you weren't in a good head space to begin with, that shit would not get you there, quite the opposite :nono: ... took over 2 months of cure to tame it down enough to be enjoyable, and it still was a wild ride high and racy, just not as mean/bad... Fun in the right time and place, otherwise,... 😵‍💫
The how&why mystery of stuff like this and it's effects remains just that...but I'm finding a connection to this aroma profile over the years from other growers/smokers!
