Sure need prayers for Kaitlyn Raine Lunsford, 14 year old Granddaughter. She was diagnosed with CVS several months ago. This vomiting is really making her depressed. Along with the accident at school and having to be on crutches. Prayers Please Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a condition characterized by recurrent, stereotypical bouts of intense vomiting interspersed with periods of completely normal health. The average child with CVS starts bouts of cyclic vomiting at 5.2 years of age. Typically, he or she has been affected for 2.6 years before diagnosis. Females and males are equally affected (55:45). The vomiting is invariably accompanied by what has been described as the most intense kind of nausea a human can experience. The typical child vomits 6 times per hour at the peak. The average is 25 bouts of vomiting (emesis) per episode. Affected children characteristically appear almost motionless during episodes. They refuse to swallow saliva for fear of inducing vomiting. Others compulsively drink water. This is possibly to reduce the upper abdominal pain due to the continual vomiting of acid content from the stomach. A period of exhausted sleep often follows.
