Functional Nausea

Medicare is one of the easiest insurers as it does to have a profit motive. The medical directors tend to be very patient friendly. I have found the local one very open to appeals. In fact he gave me his cell number so I can be a step ahead of the usual reviewers. On my appeal letters I note that I discussed it with him and reviewer should contact him before any denial.

Oh my!! I am so sorry to hear about all that has happened to your family!! My niece can't stand enclosed spaces and can't do an MRI because of that.. I just prayed and hung on... it was 45 minutes. along time if you can't stand being in there..you may have other things that are causing the nausea..just being sick all the time is extremely stressful..I stress all day about what to eat.. and people don't understand.. but if I eat the wrong thing.. bad results.. your feeling are valid.. don't let the doctors tell you that "it's just stress"or anxiety..I take Zofran 8 mg disolving and promethazine currently as needed for nausea..(along with other stomach meds..) you can find scriptures to help you by googling and they will come up..standing with you in faith for insight ..and wisdom..here's one for those doctors.. Proverbs 3;4 So thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man..sometimes the doctors are the problem...Good bless you precious lady!!

Thank you so much. You are a very caring person. May I ask, what did they do regarding your vagus nerve? I’m so tired of suffering. Putting a strain on my family.

You are so kind.. I can tell you are a really special lady!! They said my vagus nerve wasn't involved..they think it is due to pyloric stenosis..whi is located where my stomach empties into my small intestine..and they "balloon it open with an EDG every 6 months or so.. everytime they do I end up with colitis.. this time it was colitis and ecoli..(I think from a restaurant I ate at)..it was quite by accident they found the ecoli.. luckily the GI ordered stool tests..one thing the GI did to stop my nausea was a scopolamine patch (behind your ear) I had used these on my husband when he was on hospice in our living room (liver kidney and lymphnode cancer..he passed in 2011) so I thought ..ok.. NO!! Extremely constipating!! Was in bed all summer suffering and ended up in ER..so if you tend to get constipated.. and they try this on you ..BEWARE!! The first thing the ER doctor said "ohhh constipating!! when I told him.. and that was worse than the nausea!! I know what a toll this can take on your life and your nerves!! It creates it's own anxiety!! People just don't understand.. I am praying that they will resolve your issue.. you have so much on your plate .. and so many reasons to live!! (Jesus went to the cross so that we might have life and life more abundantly..I'm still standing!! and have been healed of my things..but seem to have a "spirit of infirmity.. which I am rebuking and standig my ground!!) Praying for you and asking God to heal you and your family!!

I want to tell you how sorry I am your husband has passed. Yes, I had tried the patch behind the ear a couple of times. It didn’t work. Another condition I have is tinnitus. Don’t know if it’s from medications, loud music from concerts we would go to when we were younger or getting older. The ear specialist a couple of years ago wanted me to try a supplement. I don’t do well with supplements. I didn’t take it. My husband and I have been married 44 years this June. He helps me out tremendously. I forgot to mention with all those other things that happened to our family is my husband was on long term disability and then retired. I’m going to have my dr check my ears. Hopefully, she doesn’t get overwhelmed with all my questions. I’m overwhelmed with all of this. I appreciate your kind words and prayers. Take care. My name is Flo from northern Illinois. 🙏

Thank you Flo for your kind words!!And I'm so sorry your husband had to get on long term disability.. that is another big stressor..my husband was a 100% DAV Vietnam veteran..(he actually volunteered..Army Infantry Lai Khe 68-69) ..said he'd never join anything else again!! We married late (he'd been single for 18 years (retraining him was a task!!) He's been gone almost 15 years.. we were together for 13.. I don't have any children ..I'm 71..I think it is awesome that your husband helps you!! He must be a very special guy!! Wishing you many more years together!! and so glad your survived "the patch".. I was so constipated..(but then I usually am..) I can't imagine how overwhelmed you must feel... and I go to the doctor with a LIST of questions.. so ask your doctor all you have.. that's what they are there for!!I hope the ear wax is the problem.. simple solution! That would be so nice! You'll have to let me know!! I'll be praying for you!! My name is Terry from Eastern Oklahoma (Cherokee reservation) I appreciate you!! Asking God for miracles for you and your family!!

Hi Terry, again thank you for your kind words. My husband was in the Marines during Vietnam (73-76). They sent him everywhere except Vietnam. One of the scariest things I went through was last year. It was quite by accident. I had bladder cancer. I went thru surgery and now cancer free. Just one dose of chemo injected into the bladder. I have to go back to the urologist for checkups. During the same time last year I had a polyp in my uterus. Another surgery to remove it. Stressful year. I just turned 69 and my husband, Doug turns 71 in September. It’s neat you live on an Indian reservation. I’m 100% Italian. My grandparents were from Italy. Doug is Heinz 57 (German, Irish and Dutch). I appreciate you as well. Thanks for your prayers. I’ll keep in touch. Take care 🙏
