    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.
