A boy who suffers from a rare condition that makes him vomit every five minutes asks his mum 'why me?'. Josh Wright, 13, has debilitating sickness episodes and now his mum Julie has told of her heartbreak.
Josh lives with severe Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (CVS), which sees him hospitalised roughly every six weeks for fluids and medication during a flare-up. During these episodes, Josh can throw up blood and can be left unable to speak due to a build-up of saliva.
The vomiting generally starts in the middle of the night and continues until morning, with Josh being sick every five minutes, reports the Daily Record. However, the cause of the condition is not known.
