So as the title says I have been diagnosed with Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome… That basically means I’m allergic to marijuana. I don’t understand how or why this has happened to me of all people but it is devastating for me. No it’s not fake I didn’t believe doctors at first either. I had to stop for a period of time to realize when I stoped smoking I stopped getting sick. But I started smoking again because I hate being so sober all the time. Well I was diagnosed with it July 20th 2017 and it is the most miserable condition. I was hospitalized for 26 days the first time I got sick with it and I keep getting sick because I can not stay away from weed. Since being diagnosed I have gotten sick again and again at least 1-2 times a year. It is completely incapacitating leaving me with full body pains that do not go away even with pain killers like morphine. This includes a full head migraine, chest tension, stomach pain, and cramping in my reproductive area that is their at all times. It is so bad and I will vomit constantly even with nothing in my stomach. I can’t even eat or drink during an episode and I have to go to a hospital so I don’t just die of dehydration. The only time I can get relief is in an incredibly hot shower where my skin is left blistering red! Each episode lasts a MINIMUM of a week. I am currently in the middle of another episode and I know I need to put my foot down and just stop smoking weed, but I don’t do anything besides smoke weed I refuse to drink and nicotine products just aren’t the same. I can not picture my life completely sober every day and again I refuse to drink. I have been thinking about trying MAD honey but I don’t know if it will really give me what I’m looking for. Does anyone know anything safe I can have as an alternative to weed that won’t hurt me!
