Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Do you know a child who vomits for prolonged periods? If the story told on this page sounds familiar to you, or if you have a child with any chronic illness, maybe the thoughts expressed in this prayer will help you a they have helped me. I hope so. My Prayer for my Child The CVSA is: An organization for patients families and professionals providing support, education, and research for Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Is the child well between episodes? This page is dedicated to my son Jeremy , and others like him, who suffer from an illness called 'Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome' or 'CVS'. On October 22, 1997, after 15 years of suffering from unexplained and undiagnosed recurring vomiting, we finally have a name for 'what ails Jeremy' and it's such a relief. I'm dedicating this page to telling Jeremy's story and hopefully helping to educate the public about this illness, CVS. What you'll see here is 'Jeremy's story' (in blue text), interspersed with the entire text of a pamphlet (in black text) produced and distributed by the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association. The text of the pamphlet has been included with the permission of Kathleen Adams, the President of the CVS Board of Directors.

For More Information In cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), people experience bouts or cycles of severe nausea and vomiting that last for hours or even days and alternate with longer periods of no symptoms. CVS occurs mostly in children, but the disorder can affect adults, too. CVS has no known cause. Each episode is similar to the previous ones. The episodes tend to start at about the same time of day, last the same length of time, and present the same symptoms at the same level of intensity. Although CVS can begin at any age in children and adults, it usually starts between the ages of 3 and 7. In adults, episodes tend to occur less often than they do in children, but they last longer. Furthermore, the events or situations that trigger episodes in adults cannot always be pinpointed as easily as they can in children. Episodes can be so severe that a person may have to stay in bed for days, unable to go to school or work. No one knows for sure how many people have CVS, but medical researchers believe that more people may have the disorder than is commonly thought (as many as 1 in 50 children in one study). Because other more common diseases and disorders also cause cycles of vomiting, many people with CVS are initially misdiagnosed until the other disorders can be ruled out. What

5. Badbelly 's Home Page Jackie's personal story about having cyclic vomiting syndrome. Detailed and powerful. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/4202/

The disease in Disguise, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Hi my name is Jackie and this is my story. I hope that this story will help you or someone you know that has had to deal with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. After hearing this over and over I decided that no one needed to know when I got sick with the "flu." So I turned myself into a perfectionist; At age 10 the episodes became less frequent every few weeks or so. Maybe I was outgrowing this anxious phase. My throat had time to heal before the next episode. Sometimes I had no esophageal bleeding whatsoever during an episode! The "bad episodes lasted 2-4 days and were far apart because I was a "healthy kid" when it came to viruses. Life seemed to be getting better. At 11 I caught Lyme's disease and went into three day stints of vomiting and three days after the last vomiting bout I would begin again. Vomiting is of course a symptom of Lyme's diseae. So when my mum told the doctor that I had been vomiting, he wasn't surprised. I don't think that he understood that this was not plain old vomiting, but this was vomiting in exact increments of time, and to the point of exhaustion,and dehydration. As the Lyme's disesase began to clear, so did the three day stints of vomiting. I again went to my normal vomiting every few weeks with the peak only lasting between 6 and 24 hours.

14. Rebecca's Story Rebecca and her Mother have personal stories about cyclic vomiting syndrome. Rebecca has a drawing of the Puke Monster and invites other kids to share their drawings. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/2574/index.html

CYCLIC VOMITING SYNDROME Through a Mother's Eyes Here is my version on Rebecca's story. When Rebecca was a toddler she would wake in the morning, vomit a few times and then take a 3-4 hour nap. When Rebecca woke she would be fine and hungry. I did not think much of these times, it would pass and since I did childcare in my home I did not miss work, so it was not a big issue. When Rebecca was 3 and a half, on Christmas morning, she woke up vomiting. Soon she seemed very sick. We took her in to Urgent Care. She received IV therapy and was sent home. Rebecca recovered within a day and was fine. When Rebecca was five years old she got the "flu" every six weeks. During these times she would become very dehydrated. I would call the nurse lines, but she did not meet the criteria for dehydration. After a few episodes like this, we were getting concerned as to what was happening. I took Rebecca to the hospital during one of these times. After doing blood tests the doctor stated that she was seriously dehydrated. I felt like a neglectful mother. It was very scary. Rebecca was admitted and spent 3 days in the hospital. No one knew what was wrong. Upon coming home our doctor referred up to a GI. This doctor explained CVS and that we needed to do testing before he would diagnose CVS. Rebecca had an upper and lower GI, biopsy of her stomach and X-ray, and blood and urine tests during an episode. It was discovered that Rebecca was very dehydrated even though she had only been vomiting for 2 hours.

17. Adam's Story I accepted the challenge of becoming the new Adult Coordinator for the cyclic vomiting syndrome Association USA and Canada. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/5975/julie/julie_index.html

Greetings To All! Mike, better known to me as our, `Rock of Gibraltar', is employed by the Ramsey County Nursing Home, as the `Assistant to the Executive Housekeeper'. After putting in his 8 to 10 hour day earning a paycheck and our desperately needed medical coverage, he comes home to work yet another six to eight hours, as the resident cab driver, cook, dishwasher, laundress, repairman, tutor, gardener, pool man, nursemaid, nanny......you name it, this man surely specializes in it! We are very lucky to be blessed with such a devoted husband and father. I am remarkably fortunate for having the opportunity to be a work at home mom, and I thoroughly enjoy my chosen service to the community. Mike and I, together, run an emergency shelter home for abused and neglected children, who are in crisis, and range in age from to 12 years. We average 8 children per day, and this service is provided in our private home, within a family setting. Children arrive 24 hours a day, 7days a week, 11 months out of the year, via county social workers, police departments, or sheriff's departments. We only have time off from our constant on-call duties of providing care for thirty days a year. People hear that `thirty days' and just can't imagine having that much time off! Go figure. It isn't much compared to what an average person has free while working an average 40 hour work week! This type lifestyle doesn't leave much time for a person to endure the effects of an illness such as CVS, either. I can honestly vouch that with two of us in the house suffering from this dreadful illness, there are days that are just not easy. Yes, not only does Adam have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, I do, too. How lucky can one family be?

Cyclic vomiting syndrome Question: I'm frightened for my child. He will be just fine, and then all of a sudden he throws up and complains about pain in his stomach and bad headaches. The doctor says he has cyclic vomiting syndrome. I've never heard of this problem. Do you have information? Definition: What is cyclic vomiting syndrome? Cyclic vomiting syndrome is usually found in children between 2 and 16, although some adults have received the diagnosis as well. CVS is not very common, and so far researchers have no definite explanations. Symptoms include recurrent episodes of stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and headaches. During an episode, which often appears without warning, the person can do little else but be miserable. Often s/he is bothered by bright light. Vomiting occurs frequently, up to 10 or more times per hour. Episodes last from a few hours up to several days. People afflicted with CVS are usually well and normal between episodes.
