Not with Jamie, it just changed. More nausea, less vomiting. Depends on
the individual.
> Does it get worse as people get older?
Again, depends on the individual.
> My doctor said he could grow out of it. Does that happen more often
then not?
From what I understand, yes.

Jamie, my wife, has had episodes since age 3, was diagnosed at 5, on the
current meds since age 22, and is not 26. Episodes still occurr every 3
months or so, but very little vomiting. She works a full-time job, even
works OT and otherwise is "normal" other than being dick for 3-5 days
once every 3 months. Is CVS an aweful thing se'd love to be rid of? Oh
yeah. Does she worry she'll be sick at an inopportune moment? Not as
often as she used to, she's learing what her triggers are, paying more
attention to the signals her body gives her (she tends to get sick if
she's overly tires or doesn't eat right). Outwardly, unless you knew she
had CVS, she's another person on the street.
I hope you son does grow out of it, but please realize it is possible to
live with CVS with some minor adjustments to your overall lifestyle and
some decent health insurance. :)
