⁣

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.
