Which are the symptoms of Cyclic vomiting syndrome?

SYMPTOMS People with CVS will go through a regular cycle of feeling ill, recovering, feeling well and then feeling ill again. ​ This cycle is made up of four phases: ​ 1. Prodrome phase: feeling that an episode is about to start intense sweating, Pain and nausea for a few minutes to a few hours 2. Vomiting phase: retching and vomiting that often starts in the night or early morning vomiting up to 5 even 8 times an hour for at least one hour, for up to 10 days may not be able to move or respond other possible symptoms: intense abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, dizziness, headache, sensitivity to light, extremely pale skin, drowsiness or unresponsiveness, drooling or spitting excess saliva 3. Recovery phase: vomiting and retching stop, and nausea subsides recovery is gradual or immediate 4. Well phase: a period of little or no symptoms – until the prodrome phase starts again The cycle tends to be regular and predictable: the same symptoms, starting at the same time of the day, for the same duration each time although cycles can sometimes change. A sufferer may also be light-sensitive during an attack, as well as sound-sensitive and, less frequently, temperature- or pressure-sensitive. Some sufferers also have a strong urge to bathe in warm or cold water. Some sufferers report that they experience a restless sensation or stinging pain along the spine, hands, and feet followed by weakness in both legs. Some of these symptoms may be due to dehydration rather than the underlying cause of CVS.

Instant and overwhelming nausea. Abdominal pain that starts weak and progresses over a long period of time before peaking. Then after an explosion of projectile vomiting and for some explosive diarrhea...cold sweats..dizziness...weakness...confusion...fatigue the pain starts to get weaker again and then sleep. An episode can last from a few houses to weeks for some and in my case months. If I could get rid of or replace any symptoms...it would be all of them. Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome at any level robs you of your health. Spreading our stories and talking about it is a positive step to understanding!

After waking up in the am within 10 minutes I know if it’s a good day or a cvs day. Begins with vomiting then the upper abdominal pain starts. Usually I last 6-7 hours the call the ambulance. Depending on hospital and doctor I get treated or kicked out for “drug seeking!!!”

Cyclic vomiting syndrome is more prevalent in children but also affects adults. Some people have calendar like episodes of intense vomiting with or without abdominal pain that can last from a short period to weeks. Episodes can also be triggered by stress, anxiety, food, illness, or any number of things. Migraine headache like symptoms also often accompany the episodes. Dizziness, nausea, extreme fatigue, paleness, are just a few that can accompany an episode.
