Going through the wringer

[WickNeo]

Hi! Two weeks ago today I had a minimally invasive minor surgery that I needed to stop one of my many chronic conditions. Before the surgery they changed my hormones doses causing all kinds of anxiety and depression. I’ve been patient waiting for my moods to level out.

I’ve been having side effects from the anesthesia, the medication to alleviate that caused more side effects, now I’m just nauseous and hungry but afraid to eat because of the cascading side effects. I also have an infection that I’m on antibiotics for as a direct result of the surgery.

I’m venting, because I’m so tired of being sick and tired. No one believes you when you tell them you have weird reactions to medications and anesthesia, but every single time I have a procedure that knocks me out, I either take too long to wake up, or the narcotics stay in my system for days and days. I have a televisit today for one of the side effects, but I missed my visit with surgeon because adhd. I’m scatterbrained and overwhelmed. I’m resting, but my brain never rests.

Thank you for listening,

WickNeo

For what it's worth, I totally believe you, I've seen firsthand on too many occasions how useful medications can make someone feel like garbage. I hope all this discomfort passes soon

Thank you EndUser 13! This too shall pass, but feel really bad up until the end of the required medication. 😂 I just have three more days of this medication.

Sorry, I know... I tell myself the same thing, "this will pass", but it's right now, at this moment when my anxiety is bothering me that I need help! I hope that didn't sound trite. I hope this passes QUICKLY! 😉

I’ve been taken off the medications and my symptoms are easing up. Thank you for your responses. No, it didn’t sound trite.
