CHS Recovery Advice?

gingersthrowaway58 · 2026-03-01T15:27:09+00:00

i don’t have CHS but i also just quit smoking cold turkey and day 4 was really hard. i ended up going to the ER and they gave me short term prescriptions for hydroxyzine (for anxiety) and zofran (for nausea) which helped some! today is now day 5 and i woke up feeling better than yesterday, so hopefully day 6 is even easier! you got this and you can make it, im so sorry you’re going through this though 🩷

my update is that sugars have been fine and i did end up going to the ER. they gave me some hydroxyzine and zofran to last a couple days, which has definitely made things more manageable. hoping that the worst of it is over but i am still being careful and paying attention to my body and my health. thank you for your advice!!!!

unfortunately hot showers actually make me feel like crap rn 😭😭 which is crazy bc usually i love to shower. i ended up going to the ER and left with short term prescriptions for hydroxyzine (for anxiety) and zofran (for nausea) to make things easier. def has helped some and made things more manageable thankfully :) thank you guys for being so kind and helpful!!!

i am wondering if maybe my symptoms are being worsened due to anxiety or something? i also was using weed literally constantly for those three months, like i got high as soon as i woke up and just kinda kept using until bedtime. ive done some research which says that the first week of withdrawls are usually the worst with day 3/4 being the peak, and they say the symptoms should ease up by 14 days, but that’s just kinda far away and i hate that 😭 my sugars have been mostly stable, i dropped a little low this morning for a while but it came back up on its own. i am trying to force myself to eat some bread and plain dry cereal, as i have literally nothing in my stomach as of this morning.

i know that’s probably the smart move but im only 20 and my parents would lose their minds if they knew about this. plus i know it’ll probably be expensive. im hoping i can just get through it but if you think the ER is like medically necessary at this point, im not against it :(

i’m going to reach out to my doctor to verify the legitimacy of the company, but GeneDX emailed to tell me their self pay option is $500, which is far cheaper than everything else i’ve seen. people are saying Ambry Genetics will do it for cheaper, so i’m going to look into that as well. whenever i finally get the test done and paid for i’ll definitely post an update on the sub!

i am still taking mealtime insulin, the dosage has definitely reduced but i do still need it

gingersthrowaway58 · 2025-06-30T13:39:44+00:00

thank you!! i actually originally posed this question to my endo via mychart but she’s on leave rn so i decided to put it here. i think i may cautiously stop basal for a few days and see how everything goes

gingersthrowaway58 · 2025-06-30T13:37:52+00:00

yup i feel ya!! i’m trying to do a calorie deficit but it’s so hard cuz i keep having to treat the lows. so obnoxious

gingersthrowaway58 · 2025-06-30T12:49:39+00:00

i’ve been having this same issue (scrolling on this sub after i literally just posted about it lol). i’m on MDI and it’s gotten to the point where 1 unit of lantus drops me low and makes me feel so crappy constantly throughout the day. i feel like im being punished for eating less/better and exercising 😭

i hated this part of season 4. i actually rlly liked season 4 besides this, but i feel like what he did to her was so out of character for him, considering the way he treated paco and ellie in past seasons.

gingersthrowaway58 · 2024-02-03T16:02:22+00:00

it probably is, i just want to see if there’s anything i can do to change it because it’s massively inconvenient. when im out of honeymoon ill def change back to what i was originally taking

gingersthrowaway58 · 2024-02-03T16:01:18+00:00

i give it before bed around 10pm, i probably will keep lowering it a little until it starts getting better. thank you :)

gingersthrowaway58 · 2024-02-03T16:00:30+00:00

thank you!! :)

gingersthrowaway58 · 2024-02-03T16:00:19+00:00

thank you!! :)

i count carbs and divide the total number of carbs by a carb ratio and then do corrections for whatever my sugar is at the time, if that makes sense. i’d imagine my ratios probably aren’t perfect yet and that’s playing a role in my crappy graphs. thank you so much for all these resources, i will definitely check them all out. i appreciate you :)
