Do not smoke marijuana in excess, It can cause cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome

Dr. Neb said:

I would like to say In the last year I experienced 4 "cycles" of vomiting where it probably lasted 2 weeks at a time and I lost a total of 80 pounds from being in the hospital so long. I don't believe its related to cannabis like the doctors where trying to tell me but I guess it is possible. My symptons where very similar to how the first post described it. I think the big reason doctors blamed cannabis is because it seemed like having a hot shower would kinda ease the nausea I had.

Hold on. Never tell a Doctor you smoke pot. Never give a Doctor an excuse to blow you off.

This is from my Doctor buddies that get high. Pot has not been studied. They can just mark you off as pot head and they are covered. They don't have to spend the money for tests.

Pot has nothing to do with vomiting and weight loss. I used pot during chemo for the opposite; to keep the food in my stomach and my weight from dropping too much

Something is wrong. What tests did you have?

Listen to me. I almost died, because I had a tumor the size of my fist, in my gut. They would not get interested in all this pain. Too active, too young. Oh, it's probably nothing they would say, of the deathly fever chills.(dying of an infected mass)

See another doctor. Get checked for abdominal cancer, if you haven't already.

And about pot. Say nothing, tell no one....especially your Doctor.

I have been plagued by gi problems for the past couple years. I went to the er at least 5 times. The doctors ran every test in the book, and couldn't find anything wrong with me. It turns out i went to the er yesterday with the same problem. They ran every test, and couldn't find anything. The doctor then came in and asked me if i smoked marijuana. I told the doctor i smoke marijuana frequently. The doctor told me that in the states where marijuana is legalized for medical use, more people are getting diagnosed with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, which is what i was diagnosed with. The symptoms are generally being sick in the morning such as throwing up and abdominal pain. The symptoms usually come in cycles. The theory is that chronic, heavy smokers build up a toxic level of cannabinoids. Has anyone heard of this?

Sounds like some snake oil voodoo to me but ive only been smoking daily 50 plus years .

Im pissed off by this type nonsense , not at you but at the fukin doctors , you know what that speel of shit sounds like ? It sounds like prison doctors , when i was locked up every time something was wrong with me where i had to see a doc the 1st question they asked was do you smoke tobbaco or mj , as soon as i'd say yes UREKA ! All your problems are caused by smoking .

Fucking doctors did the same shit to my wife for 11 yrs , she was in pain & the pain moved all over her body , she'd loose her balance , loose thought process ( not good for a school teacher ) she'd feel like the whole room was spinning & start puking , time after time they blamed her problems on nonsense bs & give her pain killers & send her home .

Out of desperation she admitted she smoked mj & the asshole doctor wrote DRUG SEEKING BEHAVIOR in bold red letters on her records & dismissed her as a patient !

Weeks later I left for work & she wasn't lookin too good so i turned around & went home to check on her , found her layed out on the floor doubled over in pain in a fetal position , barely able to speak & having seizures , i threw her over my shoulder n loaded her up & drove 100 mph to the hospital , after 3 days of testing they ordered an MRI of her brain , the damm mri came back & the entire left side of her brain was covered in legions & a small portion of her right side had legions as well , turns out she had Multiple Sclerosis that went untreated & ran rampant thru her brain & body for 11 yrs .

She could of been treated early enough where the MS wouldnt of ate her up , destroyed her career, took her ability to drive away , made her use a cane & eventually a scooter & left her in pain 24/7 for the rest of her life , matter of fact she's at hospital now from exasperations from the MS that have her shaking so bad she cant take a sip of water .

All that bullshit because her doctor was too stupid to investigate her complaints & send her to specialists , then branded her a dope fiend over using mj & blamed her health issues on her drug use , fukin drug use !

Dont listen to that doctor & get to another doctor asap , see 10 different doctors if need be because your symptoms are far too severe to be from getting high too much , In over 50 yrs using mj ive never seen anybody have what your describing for symptoms .

I hope he reads your & my posts & gets different medical attenion , doctors blamed mj for my wifes problems & fukin destdoyed her life , now mj is her only salvation .

My family doctor never really suggested it but every time I went to emergency or a specialist that is what they suggested. I am only 19 I really don't think it's any kind of cancer I suggest it was just a GI issue so I'm trying to eat healthy. I just feel like the doctors just blamed smoking weed instead of doing the right test.
