tsranga Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Some background - Chronic health issues - Grinding teeth, SI joint issues, piriformis syndrome, IBS (mainly excessive burping, visceral sensitivity, difficulty clearing gas), left varicocele, hemmoroids New (since I stopped mirtazapine in 2019) - heat/cold intolerance, cold extremities (only when gut is busy), vasomotor rhinitis, HR/BP spikes, anxiety, mood swings, hyperawareness, tactile sensitivity, sensory hypersensitivity, blurry vision, brain fog, spasms, adrenaline rushes, hot/red ears, frequent urination and BMs at night. Symptoms predominantly on the left side.. Got diagnosed with a general vagus nerve "disorder" and advised more testing last year.. (tilt, qsart etc). Over the past 3 months, I have been doing acupuncture and it's really helped calm down most of my symptoms. Current challenges are waking up early with gas/heavy gut along with anxiety and being unable to return to sleep.. and occasionally when falling asleep (reflux, adrenaline rushes, frequent peeing, multiple BMs). IBS symptoms through the day mainly around clearing gas. I am wondering if it's worth checking out for pelvic congestion / venous insufficiency given that most of my symptoms occur when I am supine, and I have lost a lot of weight (45lbs) Lastly, most of the time, my evenings are symptom free. Anyone else have similar issues? Chronic IBS since 1990 Former smoker (1992- Jun 2017) Prescribed mirtazapine for sleep in Aug 2017 after IBS flare-up following Nicotine cessation. Mirtazapine 7.5mg 8/17 to 5/18 Mirtazapine 3.75mg 5/18 to 1/19 Off Mirtazapine since 2/19. Vit B, Vit D+K2 and Magnesium Glycinate as needed.
