I was diagnosed w/ CHS. I was a heavy pot smoker since age 16. At 25, I developed severe stomach pain with vomiting and nausea. My attacks gradually increased in frequency and severity, until it became a daily occurrence. The only thing that helped was taking hot showers/hot baths, up to 15-20 times a day; besides being hospitalized for pain control. In 2011, a doctor at Cedars-Sinai told me he learned of a condition called Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). He told me all CHS sufferers had this commonality of taking a lot of taking hot showers/baths to help alleviate their symptoms; it affects 1% of heavy pot-users, but believed there were more undiagnosed cases as most doctors were unaware of this condition. Since I stopped smoking weed, I’ve now been painfree for 4 years. I hope by sharing my story, it will at least help one person and will help spread the word to inform people about CHS.
