Today, I hit the six-year mark for daily vomiting. All the doctor can say is that it's psychological. FML

Today, after months of random vomiting with no apparent cause, I finally got some tests done. The doctor says there's nothing wrong with me and that it's all just in my head. Great. FML

Freaked out
Today, just like every morning, I had to make myself throw up all the acid in my stomach just to make room for a little bit of food. No doctor can fix my problem, and my family still thinks I’m doing it to lose weight. FML

Today, I took my first holiday from work in over 6 months as it was my birthday. Today was also the day I woke up and vomited violently for 10 straight hours as a result of food poisoning. FML

Today, it's been three months since I had a GI virus. In this time, all the tests I've done so far came out negative at the doctor's. I've changed my diet, haven't drank alcohol, nor was I a habitual drinker. The bouts of nausea and vomiting keep coming back on random days. I cannot get the right amount of nutrients. FML

Hang in there
Today, I continue to suffer from chronic vertigo, which affects my daily life, including but not limited to dizziness, not being able to drive some days, nausea and vomiting, not able to hold my children without falling, and this morning I fell to the floor temporarily blind because of it. Eighteen years of this. FML

Alexa, play "Five Years" by David Bowie
Today, I saw a psychiatrist for the first time. After telling her everything I'm going through, she looked at me and said "You know… every five years or so I get a case completely beyond my ability to help." I guess it's been five years. FML

Mystery
Today, I had an endoscopy and nothing wrong was found. So why have I been vomiting up everything, including water, for the past 10 days? FML

Misunderstood
Today, after four years of anorexia and lots of recovery, my parents took me out to dinner with my counselor and whole family to celebrate my progress. I ended up eating something that made me vomit everything I ate. My parents now think I am bulmic and are sending me back to counseling. FML

Record breaking
Today, I've managed to go my whole nine-year teaching career without anyone vomiting in my classroom. That record was broken today when someone vomited four successive times in front of a class of 46 students. It was me. FML

Today, it's day four of liquid ass and violent hurling after I hosted a birthday party for my daughter, and one of the kids brought a stomach virus rather than a present. Yesterday my daughter started with the violent vomiting too. Everything smells like vomit in my home. Yay me! FML

You write Doctor as singular. Have you only sought the opinion of one? Always keep looking until you find out the reason why. You'll continuously suffer this until you do!

Seriously. I would have checked with multiple GPs and insisted on referrals to gastroenterologists, hematologists, and at least one ENT (to take care of the damage that has GOT to be doing to OPs esophagus)

I hope you read this. I suffer from the same thing. It's actually called Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (CVS). It can be triggered by stress, excitement, lack of sleep.. everyone's triggers are different. It's very rare and most doctors don't even think of it as a diagnosis. It's in the top 10 most rare diseases. I was diagnosed after suffering for 2 months and hospitalized. I had a gastro consultation and he diagnosed it. Do research and bring it the next time you see a doctor or see if there is one who deals with CVS patients. It's rare in North America, but they actually have CVS clinics in the U.K. They are doing much more research in the U.K. Then they are here, which kinda sucks. I hope this helps you!

Well it definitely does help me! I've always just been told I had severe anxiety that causes it in me, but nothing I've ever once been given or told to do for anxiety has even helped in the slightest bit.

have you been given a barium swallow test to check that your throat muscles are working?

You ought to celebrate that milestone by going out to a nice dinner. Just make sure you go after the daily “thing.”

You might want to see another doctor about this, maybe a gastroenterologist. It could also be a food intolerance that doesn't manifest as an allergy but as vomiting. (When I was a kid, I threw up when I ate citrus, but eventually grew out of it.)

Try changing one daily routine a week to see if it's anything you're doing that is inducing the vomit.
