CVS_Austin

i actually do, and you know what, i personally volunteer to do the vomiting as long as i get to throw up on kanye west first.

no, i'm in school learning to be a Massage Therapist. it's just down the street from my house, there's no way i could live alone at college right now.

"your face literally makes me sick: a memoir"

different strokes for different folks.

there are a handful of things i do every day to minimize the vomiting. my case of CVS is relatively severe, as i have attacks very frequently and my episodes generally last a very long time, 3-4 weeks. First and foremost i take the medicine as i'm supposed to, and that helps because it makes my attacks occur less frequently. If i'm going to be getting in a car or traveling, i take zofran to keep me from vomiting (but it does not remove the feeling of "oh god i have to puke RIGHT NOW oh god its so painful GET IT OUT OF ME!" so its freakin' terrible, last resort.) the most important thing i do to keep symptoms at bay is stay full. the pain CVS brings is identical to the pain you experience when you feel hunger, just many times more severe. it feels like you are literally dying of starvation right then and there and i really have to keep my energy up so i snack all day long to stay full. when i feel hungry, it makes me feel sick and kills my appetite because thats how i feel when i throw up. its harder to eat the hungrier i get and if i skip a meal or two i can send myself into an episode. the thing i do that helps the most is smoke or vaporize medical marijuana. Its far better than any prescription medication i have ever tried for nausea, it is the only thing i have found that can stop an attack while it's occuring other than a hospital visit. i didn't discover the helpful qualities of marijuana until i was 17, and i've been using it to help with nausea and vomiting in conjunction with my medication ever since. from the worst pain you've ever experienced to just fine and ready to take on the day in 3 hits, no pill can give me that so far :(
