Hi Holly...

Though our reasons for being in this group are horrid (CVS isn't exactly a
great group to be in) welcome to the group :)

My name is Tina and I am 45 I was finally diagnosed in 2007 after 4 years of
testing and checking and puking to death.

I don't know what gastroparesis is, but you say you feel nausea. That's
something I don't get. I am not fortunate enough to have any warning at all
when my episodes start, I usually wake up and start puking - period. No
nausea, no headache, nothing :(

I hope your doctors find what works for you. It's really different for many
people - and as adults it's a lot different than a pediatric case.

Have a nice day!
Tina

Hi,

My name is Holly and I'm 20 years old. I was diagnosed with CVS this
past June, and was also diagnosed with gastroparesis back in April.

I always got sick a lot when I was younger, but never found any
answers from doctors. When I went into middle school I seemed to be
doing a little better, and wasn't getting sick as often. When I hit
high school, I was getting sick a lot again, but thought it was
because of the 3 ankle surgeries I had throughout high school. My
ankle would hurt a lot and I thought that maybe the pain was the
cause of my nauesea. At the beginning of this year I got even more
sick, and started missing a lot of work, and having a hard time
keeping up with college. I was finally diagnosed with the GP and CVS,
but I am still struggling to find the right combination of medicine
to help. I go to the ER around 3 to 4 times a month of severe
abdominal pain and nausea.

I am happy to have found this group, so I can talk to someone else
who can relate to me. I am also a member of the gastroparesis group,
but I haven't really been able to talk to anyone else who has CVS.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Holly
