The mum of a Scots schoolboy who vomits every five minutes has told how her heart breaks when he asks “why me?” during his debilitating sickness episodes. Josh Wright, 13, was diagnosed with severe Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) which sees him hospitalised roughly every six weeks for fluids and medication during a flare up.
The Hibs-daft youngster often throws up blood and is left unable to talk due to a build up of saliva - instead being forced to communicate with his family using a notes app on his phone. The episodes often start in the middle of the night and continue until the morning, with Josh throwing up every five minutes.
But the cause of the syndrome is unknown. His mum Julie, from Portobello near Edinburgh, told how she worries about her son’s future but prays that he will one day grow out of the incurable condition.
