I am a heavy user due to my trigeminal neuralgia, so it does not help on the gastro front, I'm afraid.
Well fuck. Sorry to hear that. Hang in there man, I really enjoy your posts and witty comments.
Thanks!
WAIT? You're a heavy user of what? Weed?
Bro you have CHS. I can almost guarantee it.
DM me mate!
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.
Thank you. Absolutely right.
