I have been to the ER with my girlfriend 3 times in 30 days. This not counting her 2 doctor appointments with her Gastroenterologists. One of these appointments was a stomach emptying study, a final attempt to find out what's wrong, as biopsies have found nothing, and recommendations have gone nowhere.
I am not exageratting when I tell you our day, 4 to 5 times a week starts off with her waking up in the A.M paralyzed with abdominal pain, vovomiting.Almost every day for the past year and a half.
The doctors, her variety of ER doctors, her Gastroenterologists, were all very quick to blame this on cannabis hyperemesis-syndrome.
I wasnt buying it, and neither was she.
I find it funny in a not so funny way that this once much rare diagnosis has become sobcommon and well known in such a short amount of time. As if it is only caused by legal MMJ.
Its too ironic.. She was using this plant for pain, and nasua, NOW they tell her it is causing her pain and nasua!
So what does one do? It is so frustrating. Frustration added to the helplessness of watching a loved ones debilitating agony.
(Please forgive the typos this morning. In using my tablet which apparently adds and removes letters as it pleases i just noticed)
