I can’t thank you enough for the information and reply! There are definitely a lot of similarities to what you experienced. I hope you are doing better and we’re able to make a full recovery to your old self! I am absolutely going to ask my primary about this scenario as it makes a ton of sense and there are too many parallels. The psychiatrist I was referred to said similar things at first, but the last visit thought maybe enough time had passed for that to be the issue and felt it was anxiety/depression. I don’t really agree with that but do acknowledge that the longer this has gone on, the more anxiety and depression are becoming a factor just due to the stress, if nothing else. The rest of the doctors I spoke with blew off the suggestion that anesthesia (or the combo of 9 drugs they gave me) had anything to do with my symptoms. The refrain I got was that those drugs are out of your system in a day or two, so it couldn’t be that. I was skeptical of that because alcohol is out of your system in hours, but when I was younger I had a couple of hangovers that lasted for days! I am mostly joking, but the concept would seem to be the same. Thanks again for your most helpful input and I will definitely bring it up to the doctors I am seeing and update this post as I get answers.
