  3. March 5 is the day we celebrate CVS Awareness Day! First, let me explain what CVS is...

  4. What is CVS? CVS is an illness that comes and goes. I don’t always know when it is going to start. When I am sick it’s called having an “episode.”

  5. Symptoms: When I have an episode my head and my stomach hurt really badly. Sometimes it hurts so much I can’t even talk! Sometimes I throw up a LOT.

  6. “ Migraine: a fancy word for a bad headache. Kids with CVS have migraines in their tummy’s.

  7. Place your screenshot Hospital Trips: here Sometimes I have to go to the hospital. It’s not too bad and they make me feel better faster.

  8. My episodes usually start at night, but sometimes I get sick during the day too.

  9. Things to know: × You can not catch CVS from anyone. × If a child with CVS throws up at school, remember they can’t help it and they might feel embarrassed. × Everyone throws up when they get the flu. CVS is different. Kids with CVS are in a lot of pain and usually can’t stop throwing up.

  10. Things to know: × I don’t mind if you ask me a question about my CVS. × Sometimes my CVS makes me miss more school than other kids. × If I have to be in the hospital maybe we can draw each other pictures while I’m gone.
