    I don’t smoke only eat it.

    Why would that make a difference? CHS is caused by cannabis use, not specifically cannabis smoking, no?

      Well, he seemed to think so. But if so, then the fact I eat like half a 10mg occasionally would also put it well below the use of high.

        CHS is the doctor’s go-to default for CVS patients if there is ANY cannabinoids detected. They really don’t want to commit to exploring treatment for CVS without ruling out CHS. If cannabis helps with CVS symptoms, and you dont have CHS, it can be struggle.

          But… when he heard how little I use it, he did go to cyclical vomiting syndrome. I’m using amitryptiline to control it and it’s working quite well?

          He seem more surprised I had read a paper on the subject and then we talked about publishing papers?

          What he wanted to rule out was possibility of other stomach issues like gastritis and cancer so we did an upper endoscopy then went to amitryptiline.

            That’s good to hear. Two members of my extended family have a CVS diagnosis and dont have CHS. It’s been a struggle.

            Amitryptiline helps with sleep, which is a huge factor for the people in my family.

            All the best.

              The dosage of amitriptyline is so small it’s only really good for stopping the stomach from vomiting! If it’s meant to help me sleep, the dosage is too low, alas.
