Hi,
My daughter had CVS, not at your daughters age, but from about 22-28.
After a visit to the Mayo clinic in Scottsdale and a change in her diet, meds,
stressors and other triggors she is now 3 years with no symptoms and no longer
using medication. Please read all the other coorespondence from the archieves.
They contain a wealth of knowledege. I truly believe a huge percent of my
daughters CVS was stress related and when she focused on her stressors her life
improved almost 100%. I know this doesn't happen for everyone, but just know
there is hope.
Good Luck,
Ann

Hi, I'm new to this Yahoo group, but not to CVS. I have a 16 year old
daughter that has had it most of her life. I'm wondering if there is
anyone in this group that lives in the St. Louis, MO area? I'd like
to know if there is a support group in this area. My daughter would
really benefit from meeting other people, especially teenagers, with
CVS. We do not know anyone else with CVS and I know that she feels
really alone in this. I'd also like to hear from other parents of
teenagers and college age kids with CVS. We have some concerns about
her future with college. We are also considering applying for SSI for
her and would appreciate any advice that could be offered. We are
really concerned about her losing her medical benefits when she turns
18. I am glad this group exists and look forward to hearing from
you. God bless.
