I’ve been smoking since I was 17, with constant daily usage of cannabis products starting when I was about 18 years old. This amounted to at least 2 grams of flower every day!
My first episode was in 2019. I woke up one morning with severe abdominal pain and a full feeling in my gut while I was in college in FL, tossing and turning from the discomfort. I called my mother, who worried it was something serious, so I Ubered myself to the local ER. They did a CT scan, bloodwork, and a Lidocaine drink test. The Lidocaine seemed to work and my CT showed constipation so they assumed it was H. Pylori and sent me home on antibiotics. I’ve had two episodes since and am currently in the third. My second episode landed me in rehab in November 2022, where I stopped smoking from 13Nov22 until around March 2023. I just entered my newest episode yesterday and it’s now a vicious cycle so I’m entering rehab again tomorrow. It took so much, but CHS is real and painful! I wish there was more research.
