My chronic nausea first began in 2016
I was waking up around 3 or 4 am every morning, ready to up chuck 🤢
I wouldn't always puke; a lot of the time I'd sit there for what seemed like an eternity dry heaving
Barely able to catch my breath
I couldn't hold anything down
I lost my appetite
I soon began losing weight
I went from a already petite 97 lbs to just 81 lbs in a matter of weeks
Doctors prescribed me zofran, but I'd throw up the tablet almost instantly; so they gave me quick dissolve tablets instead
While the zofran helped my chronic nausea, it did nothing for my appetite
I tried force feeding myself, but that never ended well
Doctors said my body was in starvation mode
They started talking about putting me on appetite stimulates so I would eat to ultimately gain weight
But I refused 🙅♀️
I didn't want another prescription to mask my symptoms without actually helping me or giving me any real answers
It was with the use of medical marijuana that I was able regain my appetite and I started to gain weight
This is just one of the many things cannabis has done for me 💚
I'm now healthier than ever, thriving at 102 lbs
Fun fact: I had never weighed over 100 lbs until this happened in my 30s, with the exception of being pregnant with chloe... i got up to 117 lbs.
