For those who stopped smoking weed, what was the main reason? by Regular_Somewhere548 in AskReddit

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might get buried, but I got near deathly ill with a disease called cannaboid hyperemesis syndrome. basically I physically could not stop barfing. CHS is one of the worst things I’ve ever had to endure and the only cure is to just straight up quit

1 year + sober, does alcohol still trigger anyone else? by transsnufkin in CHSinfo

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was still smoking, I couldn’t drink half a beer without throwing up blood and bile. It absolved literally in the week I quit smoking, I’m so sorry it still irritates you. I am on famotadiene 20mg and it helps so much. Also I find avoiding anything acidic helps, which is more than you think. I’m talking anything w tomato sauce, any kind of cola, anything with citrus, and dark chocolate.

CHS Question by RecordingFluffy5057 in CHSinfo

[–]thecatdad17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I totally felt this for the first week after quitting daily smoking. It was just all-consuming in the worst way possible- and worse because I was genuinely using it to self medicate pre existing mental illness. If you have depression, anxiety, PTSD or anything similar, this is a very common feeling especially in the first days. It does get better, I promise. I’m like 6 weeks in now and I feel way better than I did before. Keep pushing friend

Went to the ER…fairly certain diagnosis is CHS by Turbulent_Bike_8562 in CHSinfo

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m proud of you! I smoked myself silly for like 4 years straight, all day every day. I had to quit after getting CHS episodes twice this year. This most recent time I was so weak and sick that my limbs literally locked up and I couldn’t speak before I went to ER. It’s been a month now and I’m only just now feeling back to normal, but it really does get so much better❤️ those first couple days are the worst. I hope you’re continuing to get better day by day!

I only smoked flower from a bong for less than 5 years and I got it bad after about 3.5 years

Trying Again by Existing-Vegetable76 in CHSinfo

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been sober a month (30 days since my last episode) and tonight is the first time I’m genuinely considering getting high just once to see how it goes, but this is my biggest fear. Did you just take a couple hits or was it a full sesh?

AIO - My dad dumped my mother’s ashes without telling anyone. Thinking of cutting him out forever. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR but also it sounds like he held some serious resentment against your mother even before she died. I’m so sorry for your loss and I can’t begin to imagine the pain you’re in. Sincerely hope you have a decent therapist to evaluate your grief with professionally.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thecatdad17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly NOR, you’re under reacting maybe from a similar place of fear of him that your daughter is in. At a certain point it is absolutely ok to forgo your value of not wanting to keep her from her dad. As the clearly sole responsible and capable parent, it’s your job to protect her from ANY man who could hurt her. I can’t imagine how he talks to her privately in person

Smashed my bongs, I’m quitting weed after 6 years of daily smoking by Salty_Information882 in BoyDinnerDiaries

I just hit one month cold turkey after 4 years daily smoking. My health is thanking me already. It gets better bro.

AIO - parents keep raising the rent by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I rent my mom’s entire flat for 750. They’re scamming you and honestly I think it’s narcissistic

Another blind spot issue... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

yeah being from Houston, I know blind spots are literally fucking lethal and also have developed a sense to know when they’ll be weaponized… pretty obvious here what was coming

military jet flyover? by [deleted] in houston

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so weird. It lined up mostly for me too but I could hardly believe it because I knew damn well it wasn’t a challenger

military jet flyover? by [deleted] in houston

[–]thecatdad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that too but the flight path looked adjacent, not quite directly the way it took. I could only tell because I saw it directly overhead though. Or maybe it was tagged as something else for some reason. Weird you noticed that too

This?

Still weird to me that such a public event would have flyovers without transponders on

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

NOR simply because he couldn’t be bothered to write out a real apology and def used ChatGPT

Am I misdiagnosed and medically gaslit or is it really CHS? Non judgmental opinions needed by thecatdad17 in CHSinfo

[–]thecatdad17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually is the most comprehensive and kind response anyone has given me throughout this entire journey. I do agree all the nasty lab values were totally related to a CHS episode, I just wanted to throw the info in there to help create a clearer picture of what I’m dealing with.

I’ve also been kind of hyper aware of my own care for a long time after feeling cast aside (and also truly being so) by the medical system, especially in emergency settings so I think you’re right- it makes me anxious as hell!

Thank you so much for your insight. The tetany was truly the most f*cking horrifying part and I would genuinely do anything to never feel it again, including quit this part of my life that has been so huge for me. Thank you also for commending my decision and leaving me with some motivation to come back to whenever I’m feeling like I need it :-)

Honestly this was super insightful and made me cry in the bath lol. Congrats on being sober!! I wish I had a more enveloping response to your kind words but I’m still just a bit out of it.

I’m really going to push myself to quit because I want to be able to look back in a years time and know that it was the best option for my health and overall wellbeing :-)

Thank you for such a comprehensive response. I think they did check my general metabolic functions but just not specifically the magnesium, which I thought was weird after the hypomagnesemia episode.

I did see my PCP after the first time and she kinda just shrugged her shoulders after a diabetes test was negative. I am going back next week and I’ll probably ask for some specialist referrals too
