I didn’t know that most studies were done in Florida. My Dr. and his partner
are the “founders” of Adult Onset CVS I guess you would say – they “wrote
the book” on the subject, but they are at Los Angeles, Cedars Sinai Hospital
(Hospital of the stars). Mind you I say ADULT ONSET which to me is a
completely different disease.
You can get a LOT more info on Dr.’s in your area as well as a lot of very
useful info in general at http://cvsaonline.org
Sorry – those symptoms don’t sound like anything I have- but I only have had
CVS for 4 years and it was Adult Onset so I have no experience in it with
children. Thankfully I didn’t pass it to any of mine:/
I do hope you find answers and your daughter gets well soon!

cvs
It sounds like she has cvs to me. the problem is there are very few doctors
who know how to treat CVS. I have had it for 16 years now and im now 29.
I can say my problems never stop between bad episodes. I'm in so much pain
and sickness all the time, I take morphine for it. No doctor can say that if
your are ok between you don't have it.
From what you have said to my I looks like she dose have CVS.
Most studies or CVS have been done in Florida USA I would take a look on the
uas web sites you may get a doctor who knows what they are on about.
good luck and please keep in touch.
best wishes to your daughter.

Jamie said she's nauseous every day. She's 29, and the episodes hae ben
more mild in the last few years than they used to be. Not sure if it gets
worse as an episode comes on, we'll have to monitor it.
