Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome

[trailanimal]

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

exact same symptoms when I get dehydration sickness

I know lots of folks are on meds from the docs. What about drug interactions? I haven't seen any studies about THC and allopathic drug interactions.

A little on spirulina from my go to herbal resource, it's a long list

when immune system goes hyper vigilant, all bets are off

That's why I really don't understand some modern medicines that screw with your immune system!

I do take Black Walnut, Wormwood, Soursop, Pumkin Seed, Pau D'Arco, Garlic, and Oregano extracts and a few other herbal supplements daily. Parasites are crazy if you dive down that rabbit hole.

I went in today and did their stomach scope to appease the cash flow of our modern medicine. Oddly turned out just as expected nothing wrong with my stomach.

I have definitely strayed off topic of CHS in this thread being that's not what I have going on apparently a misdiagnosis which I had assumed from the start but had to play along with the system to continue to get help.

I believe my journey is going in a different direction with either anxiety/stress or spinal issues pinching nerves causing my issues. If its spinal issues which these crazy people have wanted to cut on my spine for years now, it could be an issue. They have already talked about a pain clinic with spinal injections and those suck! I'm not super cool of the idea of someone cutting on my spine at all either. I'm rooting for anxiety and a happy pill at this point...

I kina think it is one of those Catch All diagnosis...if everything else is ruled out...blame that because you are at the limit of our understanding...

Radio pulse frequency or Botox.....?...

It's kinda odd to say...a very personal opinion...I had a year of treatment in the best hand hospital in the UK.

I watched people come in with much worse.. gruesome hand injuries come in and get well and leave treatment...I didn't.

I was in agony. Nerve damage will never be cured by physio..it makes it worse.

They tried to sign me off after the 12 months...I told them I couldn't be left like that I wanted it amputated.

They said well transfer you to the pain management clinic....and I really didn't want to go because I didn't want to manage the pain..I wanted it to stop.

But...I got my diagnosis there...and that was really where my journey started.. because I had a diagnosis...I had something I could work on...take a bit of power back.

I'd never really heard of anything that could give you pain levels like it...I actually thought I was going mad...so getting the diagnosis where I could see other people were suffering the same was one of the biggest reliefs...it wasn't me...

I cried all the way home. Not crying like sobbing and heaving...just tears ran down my face that I couldn't stop..with sheer relief that someone told me what I had.
I couldn't explain that relief...came from my soul.

That is why I think going to the pain management clinic is probably a good idea for anyone suffering any form of relentless pain.

They can diagnose...and you need a diagnosis.

My symptoms have included
1- vomiting for up to 2 days straight not being able to hold down any water.
2- cold sweats that soak through my clothes and bedding.
3- dizziness and confusion
4- weird fainting and blood pressure
5- heart rate slowing all the way down to 13 BPM.
6- completely drained of all energy.
7- weird feelings in my brain delusion
8- not being able to sleep
9- joint pain

I have similar symptoms but they dont happen every time I smoke. Ive been dealing with it on and off for about 2 to 3 years now. Though I hardly ever vomit more than once ir twice in a day, and Ive never fainted before.

My wife (in US) had a pain management specialist on her treatment team when she had and eventually died from cancer. His job was to manage treatment of pain - make sure the patient got enough opiates/narcotics; managing the related addiction (never a problem since it's constantly fed); and ramping up dosage as pain and time increased. So it's possible that a pain specialist may just want to get you started on narcotics.

The pain specialist will use a much wider range of opiates/narcotics vs. other physicians (not allowed to prescribe the good stuff without hassle from DEA and his/her malpractice insurance provider). For ex., my wife tried different dosages of codeine, oxycontin, etc. and combinations, but finally settled on oral liquid morphine working best for her.

Perhaps see if the pain specialist will support you in trying different opiate products for user only as really needed, not frequent or dosages enough to develop addiction. That might get you some relief when pain gets really bad.
