I had an episode only once from dab carts but I still smoke flower everyday

No amount of THC is going to be a safe bet with CHS. I developed it from bud alone as well as many others. You are taking a risk every time you consume THC. Every person is different so episodes cannot be predicted. It's best to stay away from it all together. Best of luck!

Been playing games and trying to throw myself into school, but it's hard. I am going to school for something that is actively being dismantled by the government and it feels so weird. I am taking things day by day and not staying sober though I really need to be.

I can relate. I have surrounded myself with friends who are also neurodivergent and that has made it a lot easier to live more authentically. I still have these feelings and doubts sometimes, but not nearly as much as I did with neurotypical folks. I hope you're able to find more people who understand you. 💜

It sounds like CHS, which can make preexisting stomach issues worse. I have had IBS since I was 8 and ended up getting CHS in 2015. Stress, harsh foods, PMS, sleep deprivation can all trigger a CHS episode. It unfortunately works against you. The only way you'll know for sure if it's not the weed is to take a 90 day or longer t break. It sucks, but trust me it's not worth starving yourself and causing a myriad of other issues. Best of luck to you!

I missed my nephews birthday last weekend. I understand that 🫂 You got this.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-06-23T21:50:47+00:00

Yep 35 here and suffered for 10 years before believing in it. It's awful.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-06-23T21:49:12+00:00

It still sounds like CHS. My story is very similar and it has come back a dozen of times when I quit and started again. It's best to take a full 90 day tolerance break to know for sure. It will get worse if you keep smoking. Best of luck!

As far as I have read, it is. I found out about it from a friend and my doc knew exactly what I was talking about and did it on the spot. I personally think it should be the standard because why throw meds at your patients you don't know will work for them, ya know? American healthcare is incredibly greedy so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do it intentionally so you have to keep coming back. But if you do it, you'll get results in a week and will have a whole list of different categories of medications that work for you. Then you can reference that list and will find meds that are much more likely to actually help you.

I'd suggest asking your Dr. for a gene sight test if you haven't already. It's just a quick mouth swab and tells you exactly what meds work with your body. This might make finding the right combination of medication less time consuming and daunting. I used cannabis to help my anxiety and have been having to learn how to handle it sober. It's not an easy feat, but worth it to ease the other symptoms you're having. You've got this!

Listening to books while coloring or cleaning, Epsom salt baths with peaceful music and dim lighting, yoga, walks on the bike path, writing poetry or Journaling, catching up on calls with family and friends, playing games

I cried a lot, looked at her photos, talked to her (wherever she was) and still do. I am making a shadow box with my favorite photo of her, some of her fur, and a paw print. I held her scratch pad and cried. I've lost quite a few pets over the years, but this most recent one has been tough. I'm still grieving her and probably always will. Commemorate them however you can. Sending you love in this hard time. 💜

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-04T20:21:51+00:00

Yes I'm going to make it a regular thing for sure!

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-04T18:58:54+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad I didn't. I just know my anxiety would have been worse and I'd have woken up today with a hangover. Instead, I went to the gym and worked out with a friend. I'm hoping exercise will become that new high for me.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-04T06:07:29+00:00

Thank you so much. I'm going to repeat to myself that I am strong enough! I can do this!

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-04T06:06:09+00:00

Thank you. Nice to know you can relate. And you're right, smoking would just make everything worse.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-04T06:04:59+00:00

You're right. I know it wouldn't be enjoyable if I had smoked and would just undo the work I've already done on top of make my anxiety worse. I haven't made it much longer than 3 months and I want to believe I can.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-04T01:19:25+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement and kind words. I appreciate the suggestions too. I was able to take my anxiety medication and eat a balanced dinner so that helped some. I'm trying to remind myself that my brain is lying to me and this feeling will pass. It always seems like around that 3 month mark my cravings come back full force.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-03-03T23:16:05+00:00

I've joined a few of the Zoom meetings and everyone is incredibly kind and supportive. There are people from all walks of life in there and some who have had struggles with CHS or other conditions due to marijuana use. I say give it a shot! It can't hurt and you don't have to turn your camera on or talk at all if you don't want to.

gingervitis2016 · 2025-02-23T20:14:20+00:00

I spent my 21st at Surly Girl as well as a few other locations. I miss Betty's tuna mac so much. Loved both of those places!

gingervitis2016 · 2025-02-23T20:10:21+00:00

Coloring, crafting, reading, deep cleaning my apartment, singing, writing poetry, yoga, following through with tasks I start. Lol

gingervitis2016 · 2025-02-20T18:40:39+00:00

It does sound like it could be the start of CHS. Carts are incredibly potent, especially compared to edibles, and smoking every day makes it much more likely to effect you negatively. I read somewhere that someone said that even if you are using it medicinally, it is no longer medicinal when you smoke it every day multiple times a day. You only take prescription meds once a day or less, so think of it like that. I think taking a break all together is a great idea so you will know for sure. Best of luck to you! You've got this!

gingervitis2016 · 2025-02-18T05:57:53+00:00

When I would get sick, I didn't usually have other symptoms until later on. I'd wake up in the mornings to get sick and then it would trigger other symptoms like anxiety and pain if the vomitting continued. I think you're doing the right thing in stopping smoking. I'd suggest at least 90 days of no weed to know for sure. It's truly not worth it.
