Fibro & GA
I have FM and had all of my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday. But ever since waking from the GA, I feel very very very depressed. I have a history of depression but things were stable for a while now. Since waking up, I've lost my appetite (not because of the teeth, in fact they don't hurt at all), constantly crying, upset very easily, ended up hyperventilating and locked all the muscles in my arms'.
Is this normal or do people with FM recover more slowly from the anaesthetic (I've al been feeling incredibly lethargic even through I did what they told me to do and sleep it off and rest). It's now Friday evening so I won't be able to see my GP till Monday at the soonest
Anyone want to put their 2 cent's worth? I'm just SO SO miserable and desperate.

Well, ended up calling the on-call dental house surgeon and turns out I have dry sockets. Joy.
It's been 4 days since the op and it's Saturday evening here so the only place I can go is ED or the Urgent Doctors which I'd prefer not to as one, they will be super busy with winter colds & flus and two, they don't know my whole and unfortunately complicated medical background like my GP does.
I'm really afraid they'll blame this on my mental state because of my mental health history and fobb the entire thing off, which in some ways, I'm fairly certain would make me feel frustrated (and angry, depending on how they handled it) which will make things worse. I basically didn't have any bleeding from after the procedure, just a little yesterday but more today. I think once I run out of gauss I'll probably have grounds to call the on call dr.

Hey Scarby,
I agree with Niko, you could be having a rxn to the anesthesia, or any number of the medications they gave you. I'm not sure about being SO SO sad as a symptom for FM patient's after GA, but you should return to your normal self within 24-48 hours from the procedure.
That said, I had two wisdom teeth removed and I don't recall either of them bleeding enough to notice after the procedure.
If I was you'd I'd be heading to the doctor today for an exam. I'd rather be checked out normal and concerned than not and things get worse for you.
Lamina777, that's my opinion, hope you feel better soon!

Hi Niko,
Thanks for your reply. The anaesthetic was administered by an anaesthetist in the hospital. They had a full list of my medications. I spoke to the anaesthetist and asked specifically what he was going to give me, he listed a few but upon waking up in recovery and being very light headed, I asked the nurse how long it'd last and what might have caused it and then she said clonidine, which was not mentioned to me so I don't know what else they gave be that wasn't disclosed to me. I did go to the hospital to request a copy of my medical records but they hadn't yet been entered onto the electronic system which meant they had to go back to find the hard copy, which I haven't seen myself.
I know they gave me midazolam, propofol, fentanyl, sevoflurane, dexamethasone, a COX-2 inhibitor (can't remember the name) and clonidine.
When the nurse rung the next morning to check if I'd made it through the night ok and the bleeding had stopped, I had mentioned this and she said being emotional was not normal and that I was probably going through something internally and a bit 'low' coming off the anaesthetic. She said to stay in bed, rest, be kind to myself etc, all of which I did. I didn't argue with her because it made sense to sleep everything off but now, I just want to yell this is not a 'little low' - it's enough to make me think of very bad things!
I don't know.. this is agonising. Pain finally hit last night after having practically no pain and this morning I woke to the taste of blood in my mouth. Turns out 3 of 4 of the site is oozing blood. I don't know whether I'd be fobbed off if I ring the hospital and speak to the on-call oral house surgeon...

Hey scarby.
My guess would be that if the anaesthetic was administered by a dental
surgeon, and not an anaesthesiologist, then that by itself could be the root of your issue. His/her training and experience in anaesthesia as a dental surgeon is limited.
Secondary to that, would be an overlooked drug interaction.
Go to the drug interaction online checker and check any possible interactions between the ketamine or whatever was used for your anaesthesia and you regular meds, one by one.
Third possibility, a severe reaction to the anaesthetic.
In either case, you would need a comprehensive detoxification protocol,
overlooked by a holistic doctor or practitioner, in order to speed up your recovery from all this.
Take care.
