Pretty scuffed. Cliff notes:
- patient presents to hospital reporting agony in tummy
- doctor finds out he uses cannabis
- diagnoses with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (some people after heavy use suddenly develop persistent nausea, recently identified, rare and is a diagnosis of exclusion)
- patient is sent home
- patient dies due to severe stomach ulcers
Seems pretty concerning to me.
Holy shit mate that’s awful. I haven’t had anything that bad but have had problems with spine arthritis constricting nerves.
Spent 2 years begging doctors to take me seriously, idk why but everyone seemed to assume I was exaggerating or hanging out for drugs. It sucked hard, I pretty much lost 2 years of my life to crying on a sofa and drinking through the worst pain.
Idk why this idea of people faking shit is so prevalent.
