I just ran across the area on this site that talks about anesthesia in CFS patients. Wow. Two experiences came to mind for me. When I had surgery about a dozen years ago I was really, really out of it when I came to and for hours after that. The nurses described later like it was really unusual. After surgery (total hysterectomy), they said it would take about 6-8 weeks to recover from the surgery. I swear it was a whole year before I returned to "normal" energy.
The other memory that came to mind was when I was a kid at the dentist and got "the gas." It did weird things to me and I freaked out. I can still remember the feeling 45 - 50 years later. On the plus side, I never did drugs in college because I was afraid it would feel like the dentist gas!
What experiences with anesthesia have you had? Any weirdness or out of the ordinary experiences?
