    I'd love to talk with you sometime... I'm 19 too and know exactly how you feel, its ridiculous, my life has become cvs.. I haven't even been officially diagnosed yet so I get thrown in emergency and know one knows what is wrong with me. I'd really love to talk with you about all this I have lots of questions and well it would just be nice to have someone who can relate to it. Hope youre doing a bit better :( my facebook is Naomi Laurin if you want to add me on there?

    you tried ginger root to calm the stomach? tried the tricylic anti depressant doxepin hydrocloride? it works real well for nausa and vomiting caused by anxiety. anxiey is a common cause of vomiting for no particular reason.

    I had never heard of CVS until a friend's son had it, but apparently it's not as rare as I thought. He has weeks when it's not an issue, and some attacks pass within a couple of days, though he also has ended up in the hospital on IVs a number of times. There must be research going on, and hopefully they'll come up with something that will effectively control it.



    Meanwhile, don't isolate yourself from your friends. Their support can be helpful. And never hesitate to get medical help when you think you need it!

    I'm with you! I hate this life that has me trapped in my bed and like you said.... when I do fell "okay" I still don't have energy and I too feel sick ALL THE TIME. I wake up with the YUK belly daily too. I never know what the day will bring or if the general nausea and abdominal pain will worsen to the point where I need to go to the emergency department. I've been in the emerg over 30 times in the past year... 7 times just in the past 2 months! My medication works sometimes to stop episodes at home, when I don't vomit it out... but too often I need the I.V to stop the pain and vomiting. I have 3 children, my oldest being 19 years old and in the second year of university. I am hurting because my illness is affecting my kids and it's like they are taking care of me... instead of the other way around! I am a youth counsellor by profession and have used every "tool" in my arsenal to try and keep an brave face and remain hopeful. But it is lonely. People basically stopped asking me how I am for the most part now and because my diagnosis is one that people don't understand or never heard of, (and they can't SEE my pain) I find many people think I'm bulimic or that something "else" is going on with me that I'm not saying. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It gets very lonely when you are sick. It can be hard to keep your head straight. You are doing the right thing by reaching out to others with cvs for support. I hope you get your life back. Thank-you for posting your story... it helped me know that I'M NOT ALONE EITHER.
