After doing more research last night, I found sites that mention neurological and autoimmune disorders can cause this, so MS might be the culprit. I will have to do more checking on the new treatments as they do sound hopeful. Now I'm wondering though, if MS has caused this might steroids reverse or minimize the damage to the vagus nerve?

I get tired of going to the doctor all the time. It would be so nice just to be able to call someone and ask a few questions instead of taking hours out of my workday to visit the doc's office to ask the question. I've got to go back and see the gastro doc, I've got an EMG coming up, then my mammo and annual, another visit to my GP to follow up on the thyroid meds in a month, and then back to the Neuro. I've been really positive about the MS until now. I'm starting to feel like a sick person and I really don't like it.
