    I promise, it was just a few lines during my appointment, and he settled on cyclical vomiting syndrome even quicker ;_;

    The questions were like, “Do you smoke? No? Do hot baths help? No? Oh you’ve heard of it! You read a paper? Oh I mostly do papers blah blah blah” then he asked more questions and it was just “Yeah you almost undoubtedly have cyclical vomiting syndrome, but I want to do an upper endoscopy just to make sure it’s not gastritis or cancer or something horrible. You have textbook definitions of cyclical vomiting syndrome” and when I got home and read them it was like. Yep! Sure fucking do.

    But I get why he asked, cause the two do seem to have a lot of overlapping symptoms.

    I vomit ever few months (yay cyclical vomiting syndrome) and no screaming. I’ll be angry but not screaming. And more like. “How dare you body. You can digest this you dumbass stomach”. But the actual vomiting is just. Retching sounds?

    But… when he heard how little I use it, he did go to cyclical vomiting syndrome. I’m using amitryptiline to control it and it’s working quite well?

    He seem more surprised I had read a paper on the subject and then we talked about publishing papers?

    What he wanted to rule out was possibility of other stomach issues like gastritis and cancer so we did an upper endoscopy then went to amitryptiline.

    My gastroenterologist had this on the short list of why I was vomiting randomly but 1. It’s not screaming 2. Hot baths didn’t help in the slightest (I wished) and 3. I don’t smoke only eat it.

    Current going plan is cyclical vomiting syndrome. Yaaay.
