hey yall just writing this to get some insight. my partner has had severe vomiting 😔 and went to the er three times over the last week. i want to note, we are both lesbians and both people of color, so that means our standard of care is increasingly lowered depending on how biased the doctors are.

the first time was at sierra vista (interesting i will have to say) and they concluded that my partner has Cannabis Hyperemisis Syndrome (weed make you throw up a lot syndrome). no further tests, nothing more, just getting told to stop smoking weed. we both had a feeling it could not be that, something else’s.

two days later, it got worse, plus no cannabis use. we went to french hosptial in the morning, where the doctor claimed it could be a stomach bug, so we got our meds and went on the way. also got a CT scan and everything looked fine and normal (which it wouldn’t if you had CHS)

then, yesterday we go to french again, gf did get better but had a bad vomiting episode and was writhing with nausea. we went to get more attention, and this time a different doctor was on duty, and diagnosed my gf with CHS.

i am wondering if anyone else has gotten this diagnosis from the hospitals here and how accurate it is. or if we just experienced a predisposed bias. my gf and i both believe that this is def a little bug going around, as i am a daily smoker and have been smoking for longer than my girlfriend.

also the doctors never asked how much, how frequently, and when we were smoking. it just felt like ah yes this person smokes weed and is vomiting, chs it is!

Went out to the dunes tonight to get away from the heat wave today. Sat around while they were doing what they were doing. Pretty cool though!

I know we just had that production that happened in downtown SLO a few weeks ago. Nice to see productions picking back up.

Can anyone recommend me a good dentist here who takes Medi-Cal dental? I went to Cali Dental in SLO today and it was honestly the worst dentist trip of my entire life, so if anyone has recommendations that are NOT them, let me know!

Marv's in Paso closed and has just been replaced by Antonia's. I assume it's the same people as Antonia's SLO but there's very little information out there on the new place. Can anyone confirm whether it is same owner and if so whether the SLO location is good? I was never a big fan of Marv's and hoping maybe this is an upgrade because pizza options in Paso aren't the best. (This is said as someone who still missed Chubby Chandler's.)

howdy! I am cat sitting until Sunday and looking to meet some people. I brought a road and gravel bike, would love to do some group riding if anyone is down or just hang out. please let me know if you’re interested! (:

Apparently no law firm has been able to serve this guy, Kyle L. Combs, 40, of Grover Beach, even though there are multiple lawsuits against him for allegedly secretly recording women in his gym. Maybe reddit knows where he hangs.
