Well, I went from smoking daily, literally 5-6 rimmers from a large bowl a day to now, 4 months of CHS (I believe, cannot confirm still awaiting tests from the Doc for other possibilities).
Been barfing my guts out for 4 months, no appetite, breathing issues, loads of barfing and I mean, I threw up 3 times today at work alone... 7 times this morning, 2 times last night and 3 times to/from work and I haven't smoked pot in ~5 days...
I'll resume smoking pot BUT for the love of god, so much less I built up a high tolerance really rapidly which I believe caused it to develop so quickly as I genuinely use it to numb my back pain and joint issues (Go to a doctor if you have joint issues, don't neglect it til its "healed"). A ounce lasted me, maybe a week TOPS with high THC hash sprinkled on top, you can imagine how fucked I got daily due to well, back pain and boredom as well as enjoying life not being in constant freaking pain... Popped my back out today at work lifting some weights and damn near passed out by pain not even going to lie; if it wasn't for my coworker saying you alright? I probably would of smashed myself into the ground no questions asked.
Could be my stomach as barfing so much (was already suffering before resuming smoking pot) does fuck up your bodies natural pro germs in your stomach but again, like I said awaiting doctors tests results for other things; ER nurse believes it to be CHS but she also ordered a shit load of tests, ultra sound, CT scan and bunch more fun stuff which came back negative for blockages (THIS IS GOOD).
Haven't been hospitalized and truth be honest, I probably wouldn't go even if I was beyond sick just because I'd rather die if its a reality in my own bed with my pets rather then in a hospital where no-one can say good bye as I die... Just my 2 cents though.
My recommendation? I have no fucking idea; pot is literally the only thing I can really truthfully trust myself with for pain management because I HEAVILY abused Xanxx, oxyies and even morphine as a teen like a idiot... So, moderation, listen to your body and take your time don't rush it. Doesn't feel like the time? DON'T SMOKE. My go to method will be 1 month clean symptoms then 2 months from there then I'll start again but in so very much less and even then, if I don't trust it then well, I guess someone is getting the 3 ounces chilling in my freezer.
On a fun note; stool samples are the least fun thing to provide to a doctor... Use a container, not a bag. Blood samples don't hurt that bad unless its literally 15 vials like I had to provide >_< but urine samples are the most, annoying thing to do even though its legal here lmao just because I got a hella shy bladder.
