Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
My daughter (f/31) is currently in week 3. Urgent care, ER, and 5 nights under observation w/IV therapy. Antivan, zofran, protonix, lexapro and promethazine. She hasn’t had a meal since august 31. No bm for 10 days. Very drained and exhausted. No providers understand this. Sadly…
Oh gosh I'm so sorry. This is so harsh to go thru. We are going thru another episode. 😔
Oh dear, I hope your daughter has had better days recently!
It's so frustrating when this condition and its long term effects are misunderstood!
I know when mine starts. It's an anxiety episode and then the vomiting starts.
How does one participate in the vagal nerve stimulator trial?
Is Nortriptyline acceptable (vs. amitriptyline)?
when I was a kid I tried recreational drugs now when I get an episode I use opiates to knock me out so h0pefully I can wake up sort of re-set, this has only worked once out of about fifteen times
My daughter has cvs during first day of her menstruation. Ondasterone, doxinate, and ganatone a week before thrice a day also didn't work..she has her final exam on Feb 24 which falls on her period..I am hepless...no medicine seems to work..please help
Have you considered going to the CVSA monthly support call or contacting the CVSA office at cvsa@cvsaonline.org to get more information or have an extended conversation about your daughter's struggles?
So I'm still learning about CVS, my daughter who has Down syndrome has been diagnosed with this. We are trying the amitripline and is up to 30 mg and still having severe episodes. It gets so so bad. I've tried finding someone who has dealt with this CVS and Down syndrome. Any one please help...
Oh my goodness, cvs is difficult enough!
I hope you have found some better info and support!
Nope nothing yet
I'm sorry to hear this,.... so much for your daughter and yourself to deal with!
My son is my cvs carer, also often 3 times monthly, I couldn't get through without him!
You are doing quite a job, even without proper support!
Hope you are doing ok.... I think she has more stomach issues. So I'm having to take away foods and make diet changes, of course for us all. She actually in a episodes now been going on since Christmas Eve.
