Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome; How long until symptoms subside?
Hi, everyone. I am a 36 year old male and have been dealing with an extremely aggressive episode of CHS. This past Saturday it took me to the ER because I couldn't keep anything down. I missed some of the signs too. I never really knew about CHS until after my hospital visit. The hospital checked for everything and did all the tests. They didn't look for CHS because I didn't know and perhaps it was their first time as well. The zofran and opioid pain reliever helped and I got checked out the same day. That was five days ago and I am still dry heaving constantly unless I become a merman. It has been seven days since any cannabis product has been used. I must have too much stored in my fat cells to leave me be. I am asking for information but I also wanted to share my story as well to increase awareness. CHS is worse with these new smokeshop alternatives. What I now know to be CHS was much more mild with regular marijuana years ago. Regardless, it is time for me to say goodbye to Cannabis. I am writing this while holding a heating pad to my stomach.

From what I have read and seen with my family member, it can take a while for the pain and stomach to feel better! Thankfully my Family member is now in rehab facility because of his addiction! Going cold turkey and never using again is the answer to a full recovery!
