Man unable to hold down job as rare illness makes him vomit up to 10 times an hour

A 22-year-old man has lost four jobs in the last six months due to a rare illness which causes him to vomit up to 10 times an hour.

Ryan Lewis, from Sheffield, South Yorks., has cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS), a disorder stemming from incorrect signals communicated between the brain and the gut.

Symptoms of the rare chronic illness are likened to a full body allergic reaction, causing intense abdominal pain, cold sweats and constant vomiting at the rate of up to 10 times an hour.
