Praying for good news
Sorry to hear your not well. @Kingkupa . I have the exact same thing. My life is a nightmare if i dont take 1/2 a Percocet, sometime a full Percocet 
and Pantprazole. Had an ultra sound. They want to scope me too. Do you have to shower when youre sick. I shower then fill the tub with hot water and soak. Pain is ridiculous. Lasts until lole 11-noon, usually. Good luck man. Happy grow.
Hope it all works out for you brother
O man I hate to hear anyone else has this, your are right it’s horrible, and it’s very weird how a super hot shower or bath will help out right ? The only thing that has really helped me is I quit everything, smoking, edibles nothing anymore and fell so much better. For me it’s been a few months and I will hit a bowl randomly but nothing like before it’s the only thing that had helped me. But its awful, wish you the best to get thru this

For ME. @Kingkupa The super hot shower then soaks helps ME. But also have a great PC. I have percocet AND pantprazole on board. Without those meds…im in the ER getting heavy duty drugs to help. Hope you get better soon. Im still smoking/ growing. I nay need to take a rest. I heard it DOES go away. Best wishes. Peace out, man.
Good luck. This hideous condition made the front page of The Boston Globe.
I find a good smoke and a soak in a nice hot bath is the ticket i try not to take any tablets for pain even in the day rime when im not smoking weed cause i only have weed at night and it helps alot with the pain and its easy on my stomach. Guys i would suggest if you have stomach problems get it checked straight away if they want u to have scans or a camera down ur throat get it done dont stuff around cause u never know what is causing the pain

Have been dealing with for yrs, I have been diagnosed many different times, I even have a pacemaker in my stomach, to make it work because they thought I had gastro paresis. But sense I quit smoking daily, all symptoms have gone away. Been a few months. Hope both of y’all get to feeling better, that waking up puking is awful

I ONLY have pain now. NO vomiting AT ALL. Had the puke thing a while ago. Now its just difficult mornings. The pain is almost undescribable. Perhaps i need to take a break. Cut WAY down, but havent quit completely. I split 3 joints with my daughter almost every day. Im glad my Dictor and i are on the same page.
Do you mind if i ask your age. I am 65.
Im 46 ive been dealing with this for about two yrs

Funny (sort of) medical story of stomach pain. I’ve had severe stomach issues all of my life. When I was in my mid-20s they thought it might have been my gall bladder, so they sent me to a hospital to test it. I was laying on the table next to the ultrasound machine and the radiology tech told me that she was going to inject a drug that was like chicken fat. The Kinevac would make my gall bladder contract and they could watch it on the ultrasound to evaluate its function. She told me that it would make me nauseous, but that it would only last a minute and then it would go away. The drug was named Kinevac. She started the IV and I remember raising my head up, starting to say “I feel dizzy,” and then passing out. They had made a mistake. The drug that the pharmacy sent was a drug called Ketaject, which is a general anesthetic, by mistake. The pharmacist had apparently gotten confused between the 2 drug names.
Pretty scary that they could have killed me had they given me a little too much of it.
The condition didn’t get diagnosed until I was in my 50s when I got my first colonoscopy and they found lymphocytic colitis (similar to Crohn’s disease.)

Crohn’s disease is one of things they think it maybe but they also think it maybe hernia or even ulcers or stomach cancer they was one other bowel disease they were thinking of but i only have one more day to wait until i get the procedure done hopefully its not the big C

This could probably be the best diagnosis. It is treatable with surgery. Crohn’s/colitis never goes away. My condition is treatable with medication, but I still have issues a couple of times each week.
I wish you the best, my friend. I understand how difficult and painful it can be.

I’m only 36, a young guy. My issue started in my early 20 never had any problems tell then. I too have had more upper and lower scopes then I can remember, have had my gallbladder removed and pieces of my stomach, intestine, colon, are taken for biopsy. I’m Beas smoking about a 1/4 a week now more like 1 gram a week and it been a massive difference. Like said before I hope y’all don’t have this and hope you guys get to feeling better, best of luck and wishes to y’all

You’ve got perspective, young man. I thought I was old when I was 36, yet it was among the best years of my life.
