Has anyone done any research on Lyme affecting the Vagus Nerve? I can't find any documentation online and it occurred to me today how many of my symptoms, my husband's symptoms and my son and daughters' (both of them) can be related to issues that can be related to this nerve. GERD, syncope, digestion issues, depression, all sorts of ties to this thing.

Let me know if you have heard anything on this...

PS- since I last posted my husband and step daughter have had positive Igenex Lyme tests come back. So now there's 5 of us...

Marika . Where do you live?
In my opinion the most powerful thing you cand do with a QUADRUPLE
Family diagnosis and go to local newspapers.

I cant get anyone else in my family to test and I know they have it.

This vagus nerve thing I too have always suspected.
Please let us know if you figured it out.

It is to the point i cant eat anything withoit going down.

Grace, I went directly to that site. (Hi Razzle !!!)

This is one of the best information sites on all the aspects of lyme for gastro and brain and everything.

Thanks again

I saw that today, it is part of what is making think I am on to something.  I wish I had access to a doctor that I could just talk to and get him to discuss the possibilities with me.  Every time I bring something up I get the whole "don't worry your pretty little head there missy" attitude and I want to punch them!  I am going to keep digging.  Let me know if you guys come up with anything else.

Might try a Naturopath...they're usually more open-minded than regular MD's about chronic illness and chronic infections.
