SAS - my partner says my brain wasn't right for about 8 months after my bmx. No chemo to blame it on. They had trouble getting me out and then trouble getting me awake, so ws prob overdosed a bit. Then tried Ambien to sleep - partner made me quit after a couple of months 'cause I forgot everything. As you say, poor brain.

I should be asleep - muscle relaxer and hydrocodone for back pain, but of course, I'm awake.

Well, chickadee, I'm going to try to sleep. Partner has minor surgery tomorrow (later today) and I have to do all the driving to and fro, so I better have a bit of sleep under my belt.

Oxycodone within my own frame of reference has kept me up for as much as 36+ hours------but i rarely take it. for that reason

Evening all. Like the theory about anesthetic. HAve certainly had my share and agree that it takes ages to feel completely OK after one, then add chemo on top and who knows what would happen.

ja - most people i know would be out like a light with these drugs but they never seem to have that effect on me.

My job requires I be on top of it, brainwise, so 2010 was interesting, to say the least. I've been leery of anyone suggesting surgical options ever since. I'll do it if i have to, but avoiding it if i can.

Oxcodone is a nasty drug --------but when need is good

I heard somewhere that you can expect it to take 2 months for every hour you are out for your brain to recover from anesthesia.

I've never done Oxy - sticking with hydrocodone for now. Past difficulty with rx painkiller addiction keeps me from doing anything I don't absolutely need to. Liked Vioxx, too bad it bad for my heart. Like Ultram, too - can't remember why it's not available anymore. These are both non-addictive. Hydrodocone is OK for me - I figure out pretty quick with I don't need it anymore. And it doesn't do anything for me except maybe keep me awake!

I agree. I have had many anesthetics etc and know how they affect me. Also have had over the years had to take fiarly hefty painkillers and now have to take fairly strong stuff to get relief. Its four years since my dx and I am still having all sorts of SEs from the treatments.

I am playing mahjong and this site is still not working quite right. I retired from teaching after going back for a year - I found it just too stressfull. Ihave rheumatoid arthritis as well so I have 'flares' when I am barely able tyo do anything but it is my concentration that has gone. I find it so difficult to sit down and do things for an extended time. My mind has always been like a grasshopper but its far worse these days.
