cyclic vomiting syndrome

(speaking from personal experience) the absolute worst disorder to ever have. lots of nausea, vomiting, dry heaving, hypersensitivity to light & sound, etc. during an episode. the only medication to stop an episode is Ativan. it's lesser known so doctors have a difficult time diagnosing. episodes can be triggered by almost anything, and triggers are different for everyone (hormones, anxiety, excitement, changing of seasons, certain smells or times of day, etc.). be prepared for lots of IVs and ER visits. also referred to as simply CVS. sometimes retching or heaving too aggressively can lead to tearing a hole in the lung and getting air trapped under the skin (also happened to me).
I had a cyclic vomiting syndrome episode last Friday and spent most of it in the ER.

Dude, I absolutely hate my stomach, this cyclic vomiting syndrome sucks.

Most cycles are bipolar, though, oscillating back and forth between two opposites that mutually subvert (or invert) each other.
Cyclic tropes can often be applied to celebrity popularity.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
