Excerpt:
Don Parker is a father who holds down two jobs in the Cape Cod area. Though he looks like a healthy middle-aged man, since childhood Parker has suffered from cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) - prolonged, debilitating bouts of vomiting which can leave him bed ridden with nausea, dehydration, and migraine headaches. The cause is unknown, making CVS very difficult to treat.
