Anyone else had a crash after a surgical procedure?
I’ve been using Visible app a couple weeks now and for 2 days running I’ve started the day with a 4 out of 5 rating indicating my body is trending toward in balance and that my pacing is good. I’ve had some 2/5 and 3/5 mornings and can feel the difference. Two days ago I had mohs surgery on my face (2 places for skin cancer). I was 4/5 that morning and 4/5 yesterday morning. When the numbing agent stopped working and pain kicked in , been using Tylenol, etc. Started really feeling it last night and this morning I’m a 1/5 and the app is warning me to really rest as I’m way out of balance. Feels close to a crash. My activity levels haven’t been much different over the past few days and I normally move around the house good, lots of stairs, normal bathing, cleaning up kitchen, etc. The fatigue is usually bearable as long as I don’t try and walk the dog, help vacuum (I do try to dust for my wife), etc., and if I take targeted rest periods. I believe the stress on my body from the surgery (42 hours ago) and perhaps my screwed up system getting upset my numbing agents etc. Anyone else out there had a crash or mini crash after a minor surgical procedure?

I’ve had long covid vaccination syndrome since 2021. I had to stop working and am only able to participate in household activities as I can. I had a routine colonoscopy earlier this spring with no complications. I couldn’t leave the house for four days. It took me 6 weeks to get back to where I was prior to the colonoscopy. I’m guessing my body didn’t like the anesthesia. Best of luck to everyone going through this!

3 ReactionsYes. Yes. I had replacement surgery in October and again in April. Symptoms of fatigue began all over again. So frustrating. Now I’m afraid to go to the dentist
Yes, I had a foot surgery January 29 and my body still has not recovered from that and it is May 5. My neurologist told me that it was gonna make me flare worse than ever and he was right.
I had an angioplasty done on March 28. No complications but I’ve been fatigued and feeling weak and off center ever since.
Well, the similar thing happened to me.
After MOHS surgery ( on my face as well) I crashed. Additionally also after the flu and a severe ear infection my crash has been one of the longest and worse.
I have had Long COVID for about 5 years now and it feels like I will never ever feel the same.😞

2 ReactionsI just spent two days in the hospital after a cardiac procedure… I had an arrhythmia probably due to the high cortisol levels from long covid. Had to have a procedure under anesthesia and now I’m on two meds that interfere with many of my supplements. I’m dreading the coming weeks. My body is in total shock. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
I had a tooth pulled 5days ago. Two days later I have had a bad case of fatigue. Have you gotten better?
How are you doing now?
My tooth was pulled and 2 days later my fatigue is worst. I am at day 6.
