Nausea: The Monster

Thanks guys for all the feedback. Truly appreciated. Work can be stressful sometimes but who's isn't? Also when this first started I was 22 and truly having a blast with my college life until this started happening. My friends would invite me out and I would just end up going home because I was too dizzy or nauseous. Im 28 now and it comes and goes... Ive been off work for the past 3 days trying to get back to normal. I never thought about the inner ear infection, I will have to talk to my doctor about it. Thanks for everything guys. I never knew we had members from across the pond posting on this as well. Im a noob... so cheers ! I hope we all make it guys.
We'll be fine, and you especially will be! There are luckily many things that can cause your symptoms, so it's a matter of figuring out which one it is and being active in your recovery and diagnosis! Wish you all the best bluelexY1!

Stress and anxiety can cause nausea? You probably need to go into the Doc and get a complete physical. It could be something physical and not mental. The little hairs inside the ear can get disrupted and can cause balance problems which in turn can make you feel nausea, kinda like seasickness.

I used to nauseous from minor panic attacks, would happen several times a day and i'd need to go calm myself down before the physical sickness stopped. Ended up being social anxiety caused specifically by a very fucked up psychological bully in my old circle of friends. He was a headfucker.. Only experience i've had with mental stress taking a physical toll but it gave me some valuable insight into the delicate mind-body connection

I can't believe it took me this long to find this thread. @Vitolo u truely are a poet u have such away with words u are gifted. My first big run in with the monster right before april. I thought i was going to get sick so i start heading to the toilet next thing i know my wife is picking me up off the floor next to the toilet. I guess i blacked out. My wife says were going to the hospital. I fought it for about a week so I'm feeling like total shit so off to the ER. When I get there my heart rate was 180 BPM now I have a pace/defib and a stack of meds I can't eat I'm down 30lbs . The bottom line is I'm really fucking sick of being fucking sick. I feel like these meds are rotting me from the inside. I need to go vape somemore I'm starting to get aggravated.. Hope everyone is feeling as good as u can.:peace:

I feel you man. I really do. I'm so sorry you are so ill. It really does suck. Do your best to stay as positive as possible, even though that can be very hard.

Woke up today the usual feeling like shit ate my usual handful of pills forced a piece of toast down with them. Off to the scale 198 today 230 before surgery time to go get vaked try to work on appetite.

Your days sound a lot like mine. I've had 3 surgeries this year, and I hope I am done. I'm down to 110 pounds, and desperately trying to gain weight. It's really hard when the doctors have me taking pills that make me nauseated and take away my appetite. :disgust:

Puny piece of crap.

Yeah... I talk like a big shot now that my wife got me a canna-caramel, and I am all vaped .

C'mon, MP (if I may be so familiar)
It is not some shit
The good days are ahead.
The bad ones are also, but the good ones are worth the wait.

I say this from a well medicated and cheerful point of reference, but I might not
have had the strength of heart to say that an hour ago.

Patty was sleeping in this morning.
I woke to get the butter started, and to get the tinctures, and oils all going for the day.
Friday I see the largest number of patients, so I had to get a bunch of ABV muffins made.
MONSTER took me by surprise walking down the hall.
I felt "it's" breath on the back of my neck
the sweat beaded up on my forehead and upper lip, and the shaking started.
It was too late.
All I could do was let myself down to the floor as easy as I could, so my knees would not bang the floor too hard.
Patty needed to sleep and I was determined to face this alone.
I remember crying... and asking questions aloud.
Questions like "why?"
I spoke my words of remorse to nobody in particular.
I swore out loud that I was sorry and that if I could just stand on my own, I "would never do it again".
I do not know what I would not do again... but I swore that I would not repeat the unknown offense against the Universe.
I was gasping for breath... and... heaving.
Buster licked my face.
He tried hard to know what I needed.
He brought me my keys... then my cell phone.. then his leash.

The bedroom door was shut.. I was going to start the muffins without waking my wife.
Through my gasps for breath and heaving, Buster met my gaze for a minute.
He turned and ran down the hall toward the bedroom door.
I wanted to say "No, Buster, let Mother sleep", but nothing rose from my throat but bile.
I heard him bound through the door that was wedged shut, and land on the bed.

...I felt Patty's arms slide under mine, and hoist me to my knees.
A caramel was against my lips, being forced gently past them.
My beloved wife told me to suck on the candy, as I heard her open the door to the vape room.
I sobbed as she grabbed me a portable that was pre-loaded.
She was like a paramedic, instructing me to inhale deeply.

My tears started drying...
I was able to breath....
I felt immense gratitude to the Universe for letting me have a partner as golden as my Patty.

@Vitolo , I only have this condition, maybe, 2-4 times a year... and still each time I read of your postings in this regards, I :cry: !!!!!!

I will continue to search for the strains that combat Nausea the best and when I find one, I will post hoping to jab another icepick in the eye of the Nausea monster!

For now, I offer Fire OG. During my last bout with the spins & related nausea (see the Menier's thread for reference), I had a chance to try out a new strain. I was expecting the normal, to medicate heavily and sleep off the episode. Just as normal, my symptoms began to lessen, but instead of just dampening the spins/nausea, the "feeling better" effect just kept going until the bad feelings were gone and I could function! I didn't lose a day this time!

I'm not sure if that particular episode would have been lighter than normal, allowing the meds to alleviate the discomfort completely, or if this strain rocks my symptoms... and I won't be able to retest until next episode, but on the chance the strain works really wall for nausea, wanted to share the info...

Stay strong! Nausea SUCKS!

My nausea is not completely cured, but i can comfortably say a good 75% of it is knocked out.
One of my doctors did an examination and decided to prescribe me a liquid called "carafate".
now i have one more method other than cannabis to make my stomach close itself up again, and my throat spasms are significantly decreased.

i am vaping less and less since i got a carafate prescription. it helps with my appetite and my tolerance has gone down as i do not need to vape quite as frequently.

it is a great feeling. i wish all of you only the best in your battles with nausea, mine is not complete but i have been fortunate enough to take a big step forward.

Knowing that it is a great feeling for you made my day better by a large leap!
Thanks for your well-wishes to the rest of us here.
I am smiling at the man upstairs and nodding.... that he picked a good soul ( @exit ) to lighten up on today.
Next bout with the BEAST will be met with warning:
I am friends with @exit ..... slayer of Monsters.
Arrows in his quiver of liquid magic....
that will pierce your foul hide and render you non-functional.

Hi everyone!

I need a little advice. Here is my situation.

I've had GI problems on/off for decades. I manage to keep it under control (for the most part) with MMJ and a gluten-free/low-fiber diet. Because my symptoms are mostly under control, I have never had an official diagnosis from my doctor; he just tells me "you're doing something right, so keep up the good work."

I live in a medical state and Crohn's is on the list of ailments for which I could get a MMJ card.

I have my annual physical coming up soon and would really, really like to get my card (for a combination of reasons including health, legal, and access to dispensaries instead of black market).

My question is this: Should I continue my normal health ritual, and the doctor will probably tell me I'm fine? Or, should I take a break from the MMJ and eat some tasty gluten and fiber, so that my symptoms flare up and the doctor takes my concerns seriously? Which approach is more likely to work to the benefit of my long-term health? :)

I would go to a naturopathic physician.. one who advertises MMJ certification.
They will know what to say and do on your forms.

I absolutely plan to, and there is an excellent MMJ doctor in my town... but my friends who have been to the MMJ doctor say they will want to see at least SOME documentation from a primary care physician. Does this sound true/legit based on peoples' experience?

Yes it is true.
The Naturopathic doctor will ask for your doctor's info, and you will sign a release.
They will go through your doctor's records, and find the reason that will fit your certification request.
Their purpose is to help you not to foil your attempts.

So... it is in my best interest to see my PCP and get a Crohn's (or similar) diagnosis before I spend $300 on the MMJ doctor, correct?

Will going on a "t break" and stopping my special diet help toward this goal? :)

My biggest concern is I will waste $300 (that I could have spent on medicine) on the MMJ doctor because I don't have enough documented history of health problems (because I distrust doctors and self-medicate).

Find a reasonably priced one whom you can trust will LISTEN to you and understand your situation. They won't all fulfill those requirements but there will be plenty that can and those are the ones that deserve your money :)
I'm also highly skeptical of the medical industry and it's practitioners.. Leeches of sanity and money from the weak and confused :(

Once you take this step, is there a reason you don't feel comfortable asking this same PCP for the mmj rec?

It varies from state to state... we are freshly legalized here and everybody here I know with a card got it from an MMJ doc instead of their PCP. It seems friendly neighborhood family doctors aren't writing those prescriptions just yet.

My doc knows I puff and approves, if that's what you're asking/implying. ;)

@puddleglum I suffer GI issues as well. If you have not had an endoscopy I would recommend it. While having only cannabis would work for me it does not hurt. also, I am not sure about your state but it could prove you have certain issues which would make getting mmj easier. Endoscopy is how I got perscribed carafate. Either way I would definitely get a doctor to say "yes you have it" and getting your card will be easier.

Uncle @Vitolo your words mean a lot. I hope to lend strength to all our fellow sufferers.

PS My doc who perscribed me the helpful stuff approves of my MJ use completely ;)
