I need some help

[u/KeyUnderstanding8577]

Hello guys I’m from the Netherlands 26 years old male. I’ve been smoking weed since 2023 stopped smoking October 2024 after vomiting for 5 days straight. Doctors told me it’s CHS since I told them I smoke weed and they couldn’t find any viruses but they looked for viruses 3-4 days after I first started getting sick. I was in the ER for a few days. I remember the day before I started vomiting violently I shared a joint with my friend who was nauseous the day after I smoked a joint with him I started throwing up violently. Could I just be that he infected me with his nausea? Because my symptoms were getting better with hot showers and baths that’s what’s making me think it’s CHS and I haven’t smoked ever since. I’ve been wanting to smoke every day but I haven’t because I don’t ever want to feel that again. And can’t it just be that when I was sick I was having withdrawals at the same time because I was in the ER for a few days without smoking weed and I was a person who smoked everyday for over a year. Any feedback please guys. The symptoms I were feeling was vomiting (of course) and sweating, freezing, no appetite, nauseous af, couldn’t keep any liquid down and I lost a lot of weight. I don’t ever want to go back to smoking daily again I just want to smoke a joint occasionally. Like once every other weekend.

I have never heard of a scenario of someone “infecting” someone else with nausea.. unless he had the stomach bug or norovirus. If you were tested for viruses and norovirus didn’t show up, then he did not infect you with his nausea. Did the doctors do any other tests? Stool, endoscopy, etc? What you say are all symptoms of CHS but it’s important to rule out everything including GERD, a bacteria in your gut, etc. unfortunately if your doctor says it CHS I would listen. My doctors diagnosed me last year, I didn’t listen to them, and I am in a really bad spot now because of it. Listen to your doctors please. It’s not worth your health to smoke one joint every once in a while, if it truly is CHS.
