Memorials


Gabriel Hoyos, PhD, MD, passed away on June 28th in Houston, Texas.  Our thoughts are prayers go out to the Hoyos Family. 
In lieu of flowers, Dr. Hoyos had requested donations be made for medical research to the CVSA in honor of his daughter, Christina.  It was important to him to find a treatment for CVS as Christina has struggled with this disease her entire adult life.  
Memorials coming in have totaled:  $525.00.  

Thank you for honoring 
your loved ones and 
supporting the 
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome 
Association.

Welcome to the September 2015 issue of Highlights!

The Fall season is upon us and September has arrived. Hope you all had an enjoyable summer! 

We have just a few updates for you here at the CVSA, so please take a few moments to read our latest issue, and mark your calendars for the upcoming dates listed below.  
Wishing all of you a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend!  

**** HOPE STARTS HERE ****
Go Fund Me Project to Raise $ 
for the Adult Guidelines for Diagnosing and Treating CVS - 

It is so exciting that the CVSA and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS) will partner to develop Adult Guidelines!  

When CVSA was founded in 1993, it was thought that CVS was a condition of childhood and adolescence.  We now know that adults also suffer from CVS.  CVS may begin in childhood, and can extend into adulthood.  There is also adult onset CVS.  As so many adults can attest, the condition causes untold suffering and disability, and often leads to family, school and career upheaval.  

With Children's Guidelines already in place thanks to CVSA fundraising, and our strong team of medical advisors, we are embarking on a partnership project that will help adult sufferers around the world.  When completed, these guidelines will help doctors and ER personnel know how to better care for CVS patients.

Creating medical guidelines is expensive....and that is where you come in.  CVSA is the financial sponsor for these guidelines, but we are asking for your help to join us in funding this project.  All donations are greatly appreciated!  We will keep you posted with more information on the progress of this project as we move forward.  

Please visit our page at:

Total Amount Raised to Date:  $ 5183.00

Thank you from the Board of Directors
