geneva Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 The last few days have been a GI nightmare (again) and I have been wondering about something that maybe someone can help me understand. I have several different GI discomforts and most I know what is going on, but I have this pain that feels like nerve endings "dangling" down from the inside of my abdomen....a 3 or 4 inch wide band that goes all the way across, left to right. If I push in on the area, NOTHING, NO PAIN or tenderness, but this "raw nerve" feeling is still there. I am wondering if it might not be my dysfunctional ANS in some hyper stimulation mode. I get hyper stimulated from just about anything. The reason I am thinking about it coming from the ANS versus a "true" functional GI problem is because when all the stimulation (lights, noise, dog, TY etc) goes away and I am in bed, the problem will go away at least 90%.Does this make ANY sense to anyone??? I am seeing a GI for the first time this week and I am sure he will think I am crazy trying to ask about this so I feel safer to test my question with all of you guys. Beside you all know more! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gena Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Sometimes I get that kind of raw feeling across my upper intestines/abdomen, especially if my POTS symptoms are bad that day. But I think since the ANS controls so much of our gut processes, I always chalked it up to poor digestion due to POTS. I'd be interested to know what your GI says.
