Pregnancy and CVS? See what Dr. David Levinthal has to say about this under researched topic of CVS. #cvsawareness #cvsahopeinmotion

[CVSA U.S.A. @cvsaonline]

Abortive and prophylactic therapies can help manage CVS symptoms but does CVS "go away?" We ask Dr. David Levinthal his thoughts about this. #CVSAwareness #CVSAHopeinMotion

[CVSA U.S.A. @cvsaonline]

Dr. David Levinthal suggests opening a dialogue with your provider by bringing information about CVS. Consider treatment guidelines or patient packets from the https://t.co/Puh3o6NtNi website. #CVSAwareness #CVSAHopeinMotion.

Dr. @LevinthalDavid’s talk on Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) was very insightful! Key pearls from the talk:

⭐️CVS is episodic
⭐️Comorbid diseases: migraines & epilepsy
⭐️Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome is a subset of CVS when cannabis use >1 yr and >4x/week & precedes symptoms
