The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsPosting from ER. Please send some Lounge vibes to my son.
It's not life threatening but it is miserable. I've told folks before that he's got what some call abdominal migraine syndrome. Basically he starts throwing up and can't stop, as in it's uninterrupted until we figure out how to make it stop. He's been going since 7 am, about 11 hours now, with only about an hours break while the Atavan was working. Its a lifelong thing, and we hoped he had it licked since its been a long time, but I guess not. He's 25 but, you know, still my boy, and seeing him suffer is terrible.

This ER doctor has some interesting things to say about how he treats CVS-
