Yes phillipa I already told you that!
The only major health problem I have is hepatitis C, it's not the end of the world, it can be treated now days, it not like it aids or anything like that.
I also have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, if one is intrested they should look it up on wikipedia, it is a rare disorder that makes you vomit, usually in stressful situations, it is so hard to get a diagonosis for this disorder. When I was a kid I had to go to over 10 stomach doctors, and had many barium swallows, and had ultrasounds, and endoscopes. IT SO FRUSTRATING. They all came up nothing wrong! I kept getting placed on Reglan, which is a antipsychotic, and it did no help, if I stayed on this drug since I was seven I would probably have tardive dyskinia by now.
So many other kids have this disorder and suffer in silence because not many doctors know what it is, they usually just pass it off as acid reflux or something. They say that kids miss a estimated like 30 days of school and go through like twice as many doctors as I did to get a diagnosis.
I finally got a diagnosis when I saw a neurologist not a stomach doctor! I found out the disorder is more linked to migrane headches, than the stomach. It's funny you get all the symptoms of a migrane without the migrane, and just get massive nausea and continuios vomiting.
It's funny they treat this disorder with low dose of Evail- a trycylic antidepressant..how weird.
But, also drugs, like marinol, zofran, are used to stop the nausea, and benzo and pain pills are used to stop the pain and knock the person out.
When I get time I am going to donate to the cause.
It sucks my vomiting is potentiated by hep c.
But luckily every since I been on lyrica and nardil i have not had an attack!
And yes as I told you my pain specialist (also addiction specialist) my pdoc, and my primary care all know all my psychatric problems, and other problems. They all know all the meds I take now also.
