I'm so glad to know I'm not alone! LOL. I feel like I should be back to normal by now, and have a hard time explaining to people why I'm not quite there yet. I feel like I'm making excuses... but not really. I dont know... I am so totally grateful for this forum and those of you who respond to our concerns and encourage us from beginning to end! This site has been a great reference and therapy for me.
I too have had this problem. We are supposed to get good rest while we are recovering, but then we can't sleep LOL. Sometimes I have to resort to taking Tylenol PM, but you have to be careful if you are still on pain meds because a lot of the over the counter sleeping aids have Tylenol in them. You can call your doctor and request a sleeping aid. You could also try drinking a warm cup of tea (non caffeinated) with a bit of milk in it. Sometimes it helps me. I hope you get the rest you need.
hi girls i had the same problem after surgery to remove ovary and tube and went to my gp and he said you would need sleepers for a week after the surgery must say they did the trick best of luck girls with the recovery x
Hi,
I had lung surgery two years ago that required a general anesthesia and had the same problem for several weeks. I had laparoscopic surgery to remove ovary/tube on Wednesday and have had restless sleep since then. I have been told walking and water help clear the anesthesia from your system. I also feel kind of depressed even though surgery resulted in good news. I am blaming the drugs for this too:)
