Hi, I feel for your daughter. If you've already been to several doctors, did they not prescribe any meds to quell the symptoms like zofran, meclizine? I take these meds when the symptoms are severe.

I also carry a small barf bag when I leave the house for those "just in case" moments (to save me from embarrassment when I'm out there). I have an appt with my doctor tomorrow, so I'm very interested what will come out of that visit. If I find out anything new or worth mentioning here, I'll let you know.
