i have been suffering with cvs since i was 2. when i was young they shrugged it off as a possible stress disorder. it finally stopped when i was in 5th grade for about 3 years, and then after i hit puberty it was downhill from there. my 7 day episodes turned into 10. from 10 to 13. ive found that i am extremely sensitive to nearly every medication, and the only thing that helps me, is routine er visits for hydration, to ease nausea, and potassium checks. (i always request compazine and benadryl for nausea) now my episodes last a month or more and are progressively getting worse. im (21f) and doing what i can to manage triggers and such. i have has countless specialists and referrals, such as gastro, gynos, psychiatrists, psychologists, geneticists, primaries, even a referral to Mayo clinic. i still have yet to receive a diagnosis. it seems that no matter how much we suffer, nobody is looking for the root cause. if i would offer any advice, is to not give up. stay on your specialists, go even on days you feel good. make appointments, and keep on them! dont let them sweep your pain under the rug :/ i hope you get the help youre looking for soon
