I'm with you on the school. My daughter's high school said they couldn't kick her out but said they would not offer any assistance in getting her through her...
Sam also has a learning disability and need extra help on top of the whole CVS thing. It is hard enough to fight for his extra help let alone the medical...
I banned the author of the recent SPAM messages and deleted all of her messages. I'm sorry I did not act sooner, but I have been off my computer for several...
Ann, We have been homeschooling 11 years now. Our oldest, age 16, has CVS. It is undoubtedly the best thing for her. I don't know where you live, but there...
I have a 12 year old daughter who has had cyclic vomiting for 7 years now. No medicine seems to work. The episode always last over 36 hours. And it seems to...
Carolyn, Have you and your doctors tried D10 glucose solution in your dd's IV when she is in the hospital? That really helped stop the cycle in the hospital...
That is very helpful. We see a Dr. down in Stanford once every 6 months (a good 3 1/2 hour drive or more). Well maybe I should go a few more miles. They...
Carolyn, I would strongly recommend finding a new doctor for your daughter. I know from experience that the treatment she is getting is dangerous. Severe...
Carolyn, Unfortunately the docs in this case are missing the point because so what if your dd has only lost 2 pounds?!! You need to find a doctor who has...
Carolyn - My children's GI Dr. is 1.5 hours away. He comes to our town once a week now!! Anyway, three episodes ago, we had to take my son to the ER because...

Mary - I have heard several people on this group talk about the CO Q10 and L- Carnitine. Are these supplements or presc.? What do these do for your child? I...
Ann - I have been homeschooling my kiddos for 5 years now. I cannot even imagine having to deal with the school system when they have an episode. I am...
I agree a specialist should be consulted, but I just wanted to add that my son always vomits blood (usually dark brown)-- our specialist says it is from...
Terry, CO Q10 is a supplement that you can get online, but you need to have your doctor tell you which dosage to use. Dr. Fleisher recommends that we get it...
I want to thank everyone for their notes and ideas this hopefully will make my daughter and my life easier and more understanding to other people. I've...
Carolyn, The schools won't always listen to the parents when you tell them what is going on with your child. My son had been in and out of the hospital 5...
Terry, Dr. Richard Boles believes that cvs is a Mitochondrial disorder. The D10 gives you energy. So when my ds was in the hospital, the staff would put the...
The school should have listened. They have no right to not listen to a responsible parent. I was a teacher and saw this happen before. Someone should take...
