My Strange Side Affect



Recommended Posts

So after surgery I've had a VERY strange side affect from the surgery. It had to do with my sleep. So every night for the first week I would toss and turn and every time I'd move from one side to another I believed I was making a bid on eBay. What was I bidding on I have no idea. The worse part of it was there was a song playing on repeat which was call me maybe. And I don't know infant one has heard that song but its annoying as all hell. I was very upended and have been shaking in a corner.

I had really weird, vivid dreams maybe the first week. I was so freaked out I didn't want to sleep. Cant remember any of the dreams in detail, thank goodness! My surgeon said it was a side effect of the anesthesia and pain meds, which I stopped taking immediately after our conversation.

In the past I was taking a pain pill and I would have vivid dreams of my front teeth sliding out and there was no end to it....That was when I stopped taking the pain pill. Scared the hell out of me.....:)

This is funny because I had a really vivid dream the other night! First, I had a nightmare and I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep for almost two hours because I was so stressed out and feeling down. What did I used to do when I was stressed out and down? Stress eat! So I fell back asleep and had a really, REALLY realistic dream that I ate half a large pizza, half a serving of buffalo wings, and a serving of chicken strips. After I ate all of that, which I did in like two seconds, I looked around at all of the carnage and thought "Oh crap! I had surgery. This is going to hurt!" and at that instance, the food bolus hit my stomach and it was the worse pain ever! It woke me up!

The funny thing is the next day I was talking to one of my co-workers who specializes in substance abuse treatment and she laughed at me and said that her clients usually have really vivid "using dreams" right after they quit their drug of choice. It just goes to show that food addictions are real!

I know it isn't funny.... but what a weird thing to dream about!

My vote is that maybe it is time to consider stopping any pain meds before the Rabbit and Cheshire Cat show up.
