My first full blown CHS experience was on a red eye flight. Most terrifying experience of my life, I thought I was going to die. Anyway, I’m feeling the early symptoms of another episode, and I’ve been through it about 2-4 times. I’m trying to do my best to do as many things as I know of to help this not become an eventual emergency room visit. As soon as I started feeling nauseous for no reason and headaches a couple days ago I knew it was coming for me. I’m now abstaining from smoking again. I benefited greatly from a Phenergran shot in the ER with my first experience and with my second I was prescribed Phenergan tablets to help fight the nausea. I used these for about a week and also Dramamine helped. This is such a bizarre and complicated condition. I have many therioes and questions to my own episodes, how they happen and what triggers it. Also, it seems after I take a couple months off I’m able to smoke again, but then eventually a few months later it returns and I believe it’s becuse I always steadily increase my consumption because my tolerance increases. It’s when I smoke too much over weeks or months that CHS occurs. I have also had it triggered by a sudden absence of marijuana and the unplanned detox. Another trigger in the past has somehow been the combination of travel and stress/anxiety. My experience is that if I had the ability to control my smoking to once in a while this would never happen. I have never spoken to another person who’s been through this, and Im nervous about what the near future holds in store for me. I have not smoked for almost 48hrs, no vomiting yet just feeling like crap so far and would love if anyone had any additional tips that have worked for them.
how’re you doing now? any luck? people don’t like to talk about it I find so that’s probably why you felt alone in it, if it was chs. I hope to hear whether or not it resolved at all.
Same here. I figured it out by researching Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) by symptoms except I was stopping before vomiting started. Took time off in between and nothing till tolerance build up. The only thing that sounds off is why at my old age is this happening. When younger, didn’t matter on tolerance. Physical exertion and/or exercise and sweating help back when younger then that’s hard to do now?
I know ONE THING about it… CBD consumption curbs the symptoms, at least temporarily. I don’t know if continued regular consumption of CBD lessens the impact more quickly, but the symptoms will abate some.
