My father (age 50) was "diagnosed" with CVS and spent over ten years trying to control it unsuccessfully, sometimes in the ER several times a week. A little bit of research (by me) indicated that he actually had "Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome," caused by chronic marijuana use. He stopped smoking pot and after a month of his body "detoxing" has not had a single attack in a year. I am not at all discouraging use of pot, but if you are a regular user and think you are suffering from CVS, you should at least try stopping for a few months and see if that helps.
