After a hysterectomy several years ago, a friend now has vagal nerve damage, resulting in numerous health issues. First there was gastorporesis and she underwent the insertion of the gastric stimulator. For the constant pain, she receives blocks every 4-6 weeks, but with the last 2, has aspirated, so now is on oxygen . Within the past year, she developed type 2 diabetes after steroid treatment resulted in weight gain. Central line for the numerous infections. Obviously, her life is now quite frustrating and very depressing for her. Is there any way the vagal nerve can be repaired? Thank you, A Friend
