What are the signs of a damaged Vagus Nerve affecting the bowel and stomach, and could I be suffering from hypochlorhydria? My symptoms include cold chills, cold skin, trembling, heavy aching in the abdomen 2-3 hours after eating, worsening symptoms 4-5 hours after eating, dizziness, and occasional loss of muscle sensation. I have been on ulcer medication without relief and have seen a gastrointestinal specialist who suggested it might be a nerve problem. I have had negative CT scan results for inflammation and GERD. Could a nerve-related issue like gastroparesis or slow motility due to permanent nerve damage be causing these symptoms? How long does food typically take to move into the intestine area?

I was prescribed Duloxetine 20mg on February 18, 2020, and the dose was increased to 30mg on April 6, 2020. On May 20, 2020, we began to taper it down to 20mg due to adverse effects. Since then, I have had intermittent days of extreme nausea, fatigue, and weakness. Is this normal, and are these symptoms common when tapering off Duloxetine?

The side of my face is hurting and burning, up through my scalp, my ear is aching, and my eye feels dry. It started on Friday, and I have taken ibuprofen and Tylenol, which helped but not for long. I have had RA for years and am on Coumadin for PEs. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I've had a low-grade fever on and off for most days over the past 9 weeks, never exceeding 100.8°F, accompanied by fatigue. I've had extensive blood work, a CT scan, and autoimmune tests, all of which came back normal. I was initially positive for TB but later tests were negative, and my chest X-ray and CT are clear. What could be causing this persistent fever and fatigue, and what further tests should I consider?
