My Story
The Journey:
For months, I tried to ignore the nausea. A glass of wine, a spicy meal, and there it was — that queasy, sinking, wavey feeling I had been hoping was nothing serious. But during a trip to Tampa to visit my dad, everything caught up with me. I ended up in the ER twice in two days, with no answers and no way to hide from it anymore. Too sick to stay, I flew back to London, gripping the seat with every passing hour. A few days later, in a quiet Oxford hospital room, a doctor said three letters I had never heard before: CHS.
My Experience:
Those early days were held together by scalding showers, intense stomach pain, and cyclical vomiting. At the time, there was almost no information online about CHS so I set out to create resources for others suffering through the same thing.
Why I Built This:
Hi, I’m Kaitlin. I’m not a doctor — just someone who’s been through CHS twice. CHS Relief Hub isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about comfort, education, and empowerment. Everything I create here is built with that intention.
With care,
Kaitlin
