'My condition means I vomit up to 15 times an hour'

Available for over a year

Sherrie Duggan, from Birmingham, suffers from cyclical vomiting syndrome. Speaking to 5 live Breakfast's Nicky Campbell, she said her attacks are characterised by "lengthy vomiting and severe nausea" and she can vomit up to fifteen times per hour: "It's awful and relentless to live with [...] some days getting out of bed is an achievement". The condition started in August 2014 when Sherrie assumed it was a stomach bug or food poisoning. It has taken 18 months for a proper diagnosis. Sherrie told BBC 5 live she wants to raise awareness about the syndrome so that people know "it's a real thing". This clip is originally from 5 live breakfast on Tuesday 12 January 2016.
