Vargas Nerve Damage
I am looking into possibility of Vargas nerve damage as it relates to gastrointestinal problems and chronic fatigue. Does anyone have suggested diet, repair techniques, material to share? Thank you.

The Vagus nerve (correct spelling) is a long nerve running from the brain down to the pelvis. It has many branches off it running to various organs. It doesn't typically sustain damage unless of blunt force, cutting, or burning/cauterization. In the latter case, this can happen during radio frequency ablation of the left atrium to stop atrial fibrillation. The Vagus nerve runs parallel to the esophagus and down past the back of the heart.
I have never heard of a 'repair' of the Vagus nerve, but I suppose anything is possible in the right hands. However, I have read about Vagus nerve 'tone' and loss of tone, and what impact it can have on heart rhythm, gut health, and so on:

1 ReactionI had a serious injury 17 years ago. While doing yogi heard a loud pop at the bottom of my spine. In a week I was numb from my waist down, it went into my upper back and serious pain in my cranial area. I saw 3 top rated neurologists and they referred me to MS doctor. I was off work 3 months, returned four hours a day and had to ride in a motorized golf cart to grocery shop for two years. I also hurt my facet joint and from that it created painful arthritis. I can’t believe this was not diagnosed. I only found out a month ago by listening to Scripture Prayers on YouTube, one came up that said prayers for Vagus nerve. I had never heard about vagus nerve. After reading about it I knew exactly what hapyto me. Please let me know if you’ve had a similar experience. 🙏❤️
I sympathize. I also have vagus nerve issues. Mine is caused by superficial siderosis. Which is caused by damage in the cerebellum of my brain. There’s actually 2 vagus nerves one on each side of your spinal cord. Your vagus nerves begin from your cerebellum. So my vagus nerves are also damaged. When I feel an attack coming on Gator aid helps by restoring electrolytes.
Hi, I feel your pain! Many prayers! I will try gator aid. Please let me know of any helpful things you hear!
Hi Sharon, unfortunately nerve damage is extremely hard to treat, if not impossible. Everyone has a different brain in all the world, so also everyone has different nerves. What I have found in my experience is that I can feel what I call a “vegas nerve attack,” l can feel it coming. So then I have time to react. I know that I must stop, rest, and drink a Gator aid, or anything that can restore your electrolytes. Please see Mayo Clinic./Steve GRINSTEAD for my operation for SS.

Thank you! When it first happened I was so sick. My mom has passed away before this and I saw her for 10 days. It was like a tv screen and it would get smaller each day until it was gone. I can’t believe there is so little known about this. Thanks again.. 🙏
