Symptoms: X-ray with contrast upper gastrointestinal tract
Clinical narrative: Symptoms: 1.  Nausea ? Never goes away but rolls from bad to horrible.  When it?s horrible I can?t keep solids or liquids down. 2. Vomiting ? Follows the nausea pattern 3. Diarrhea ? Follows the nausea pattern and will last for 5-10 days at a time. During those days I go 3-4 times an hour with no relief from medications. I end up going to the ER to get an IV because I cannot get off my bathroom floor. 4. Taste ? I never know what I can eat or drink even if I?m at the top of the arc and feel as good as I can with this going on. The worst offenders are chicken, bread, eggs, beer, carbonated drinks, pork, and chocolate. These items taste like they have been rotting in the sun for weeks and I?m forced to eat them. Other foods that are bad, but I can sometimes tolerate are beef, vegetables, milk, cheese, and corn tortillas. When I?m at my worst which lasts 5-10 days and can?t get anything in my system. Pure sugar candy like a Twizzler or Gummy bears can work. The only things I can drink are aloe vera drinks and blue Gatorade.  5. Can?t control emotions ? When I?m at my worst I cry uncontrollably or can?t control my anger to where I stay away from people. I?ve punched through a desk and a wall, flipped furniture over and then end up crying uncontrollably. I wouldn?t do it, but I have suicidal thoughts when I?m like this. When I?m at my best (which still sucks badly) I feel like I?m having a 24/7 panic attack. That feeling is always there and never leaves. 6. Dizziness to where I must hold a wall or sit down. 7. Cold sweats 8. Shaking  9. Get freezing cold in temperatures that shouldn?t bother me. 10. Sometimes the stomach issues hit so hard my entire body tingles like I just grabbed an electric fence.    Timing of symptoms: - Symptoms started late May or early June about a week after my second Pfizer vaccine shot. - Around that time, I also had a very simple hernia surgery.  - Earlier in the spring I had the Inspire System installed for sleep apnea. There is a device installed in my right pectoral muscle that powers the system. It connects to nerves in my neck that control my tongue. It was done by Dr. My operation was difficult because my nerves were a mess, so he had to cut a nerve in my neck that was in the way. I was told that this shouldn?t cause me any issues. I did have to wait 6 weeks before they turned it on to heal because the surgery was so difficult. The Inspire system was turned on fully about a month or so before my symptoms started.  I tried shutting it off for 2 weeks with no luck.  - General timings are completely random. Some days are worse in the morning and some in the evening. I?ve tried to narrow down food, drinks, amount of sleep, weather patterns, stress, and if I?m at my house or my sister?s where we run a company, but I can?t find anything consistent.  Physical activities tend to make symptoms come on faster.  I haven?t been able to exercise since this started.   Attempts to relieve the symptoms. 1.  Sleep ? sometimes helps, sometimes I?m worse when I wake up. 2. Nausea Meds ? I?ve had every over the counter and prescription medication there is. I?ve even had all those medications injected into me at the Emergency Room. None of these helped or even touched the symptoms. 3. Maximum strength prescription antacid. No help whatsoever. 4. Anti-Migraine pills at night. No help 5. Desipramine ? taken at night. No help 6. The only thing that even takes off an edge is cannabis. Before this started, I rarely ever used it.  Now I need it on a daily basis to function as a human.  7. Anti-diarrhea pills. They do nothing to slow it down when I have it, but after a week or 2 when I finally stops, I get constipated.
