I am a veterinarian. Animals are my passion. I am a Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome patient. Onset of illness was 25 years of age during my final year of veterinary school. In my previous life (before CVS) I was very active. I love the outdoors. Trail riding in the woods. Swimming in creek water holes with rope swings! I love movies and music. I play trombone, trumpet, piano, and learned a few others (saxaphone and guitar). I loved to play softball year round when I could. I love to look up at the beautiful blue sky, enjoy its beauty, and consider the possibilities of the unknowns in life. The last thing I purchased for my friends were leather rings from Italy. Got them on my honeymoon! My husband is wonderful and supportive. Together we strive to educate others about CVS and also to help myself regain my old life again.
