Hello everyone - some of you may have heard about my recent hospital admissions, I just wanted to let everyone know a bit more about my condition and my experience so far. Back in October of last year I became very ill after going on holiday, I couldn’t keep down food and I began experiencing a lot of pain to the point where I had to leave my job. For a while no one knew what was wrong and I had to undergo a lot of testing and hospital visits. Eventually I got a diagnosis of Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, a rare chronic illness characterised by cycles of none stop vomiting, nausea and intense abdominal pain. There is no cure yet for CVS so I am now in the process of finding the best form of pain management and medication to ease my symptoms. This condition has completely changed my life, I am constantly in and out of hospital with pain and vomiting. My experience in hospital has been incredibly hard and I am coming to the realisation that I am not getting the care I need from the NHS. My goal is to have some kind of pain management plan at home that can help me to reduce hospital admissions and allow me to get back to some normality. This has led me to begin looking into private healthcare which can hopefully provide me the level of care I need. Unfortunately I simply do not have the funds for this as this illness has made it impossible to work, so I am reaching out to family and friends for support and setting up a gofundme. Any help at all would be massively appreciated but please don’t feel obligated to donate, I’m so thankful for everyone who’s supported me through this experience so far. I hope at some point in the future I will be able to match the amount raised and put it back into a relevant charity.❤️
