Has anyone else been diagnosed with Vagus Nerve Dysfunction?

Michelle, I feel for you. You sound like a strong woman to endure what you have gone through. Just Gastroparesis/Vagus Nerve Disorder in itself is enough! My son was diagnosed 20 years ago along with Gastroenteritis & Gerd. He decided against the Stimulator. He is very slow to empty & struggles most with chronic constipation. The main thing is to try to eat the right foods ( daily stool softeners & Miralax or whatever your doctor prescribes). Also, if you need to undergo a colonoscopy surgery, make sure the doctor understands you need extra time to completely empty. My son's doctor was warned but did not listen. As a result, his colonoscopy needed to be done over. Best to you!

I had a serious injury 17 years ago. I damaged my Vegas nerve and my facet joint. Went to three neurologists and they knew I was seriously hurt but never said Vagas nerve. They referred me to MS doctor. Of course, that was no help. I was off work 3 months, and back to work 3 months for four hours a day. I have suffered ever since. I see a pain management doctor every three months and take tramadol and gabapentin. To grocery shop I had to use a riding cart for two years. I use cold packs on my neck morning and night. Twice I have had recently two episodes of it going into my brain and the pain is worse than child birth. I don’t know why more isn’t known about vagus nerve. I discovered my problem on my own. I can relate to everyone and my prayers are with you all!
