      Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

      I’d like to add, I had unexplained dry heavings in the mornings, nausea that lasted from the moment I woke up until the moment I went to sleep. I couldn’t eat anything because everything including the smell of food would make me dry heave. Any strong smell really. Turned out to be PTSD from the army. A friend recommended and provided a joint. I had been to neurologist, psychiatrist, and every known medical profession in between and nobody could help with the symptoms. The medications prescribed made things worse. That one joint literally saved my life. I say all this on the odd chance that you haven’t tried cannabis. Your symptoms and your anxiety sound so much like what I went through for years.

      My apologies though, I don’t mean to pry. I just know how you feel right now. Hugs brother.

        I have read great things about (magic) mushrooms with regards to PTSD also.

        EDIT - I remember reading your post detailing your issues with food/smells somewhere around here not to long ago. That’s great that you’ve found something to provide some relief!

        I am a heavy user due to my trigeminal neuralgia, so it does not help on the gastro front, I’m afraid.

            You can almost guarantee it, but none of my doctors agree with you. Also, my symptoms don’t fit.

            You’ve sent this to me over and over and you don’t even know my actual symptoms.

              You went across the country to basically have a doctor tell you that you have substance abuse problems…

              I’m sure it went away briefly.

                Okay, I am blocking you.

                You have posted about this on multiple forums and have sent it to me multiple times privately. I have said over and over again that I do not want medical advice from internet strangers.

                You think you know better than the best doctors in the U.S. about someone you’ve never met and whose symptoms you don’t understand. Even when I told you in PM that it had been ruled out, you still insisted it is. You don’t even know my medical history. All you know is I use cannabis and that there is a digestive issue that some cannabis users have and that’s what I have.

                I don’t care if you’re the world’s expert on gastrointestinal and neurological problems and you went to Most Holy Medical School where Jesus himself taught you how to heal. You don’t know anything about me or my medical history and that alone makes any “diagnosis” you’ve come up with bullshit.

                You’re as bad as my mother. But I can’t block her.

                  Even actual doctors will either decline to speculate or will discuss but make it abundantly clear that they are not your doctor and they are not giving you medical advice.

                  That’s because even real doctors need your history and your overall health picture in order to do their job correctly. There are ethical AND legal rules to enforce this.
