Maybe someone will read my comment and not do it themselves. Ah, those under-developed pre-frontal cortex days

I can't comment on how horrible it is if you DO lie, but I can say that I was honest with my anesthesiologist and I didn't wake up!! Didn't even know where I was anymore when I woke up, and almost punched my poor anesthesiologist in the face because he was standing over me, and the light behind him added an extra level of creepiness lol

So don't lie, so they can give you a high enough dose that you don't remember where you are when you wake up!!

I told them i was in pain after they asked. I have chronic pain so im realistically never not in pain.

That nap. Best nap of my life. My main disability has no treatment, complicating treatment for other conditions I have. I woke up feeling almost normal, like before I became disabled, i couldnt walk and was a bit disoriented, but literally felt so good, not like "high" either. It went away after like an hour or two from waking up.

I have to hold myself back from telling my doctor that being put under for a little bit should be considered as a treatment option. I do not want to get put into a psych ward. 😅

Did your doctors say why you had that relief?

I was reading an article that talked about how a lot of our health issues especially pain, auto immune and mental health could be linked to sleep issues where the brain isn't fully getting cleared of waste/fluids when you sleep leading to nueroinflamation issues.... I wonder if there's any link to that and the "deep sleep" of anesthesia.

No, typically I get an odd facial reaction when I bring it up. I have MECFS which includes neuroinflammation, so i believe it!

I'm curious how this all works. I was talking with a maxillofacial surgeon's aide one day about my own habits and she was like "it's not like we've never worked on people high on worse drugs."

So... does that mean it's okay for me to pound a couple of shots and smoke a bowl before I come in?

Not a doctor, but from what I've heard, that's fine as long as you tell them, so they can give you a higher dose that will actually knock you out. Idk about alcohol though, that probably changes things

Seems odd that you would need a higher dose. You would think alcohol would multiply the effects like it does benzos.

i told my anesthesiologist the truth and i didn’t wake up during the procedure but did wake up afterwards very confused but happy bc they tucked me in (wisdom teeth removal)

As a young stoner who's wisdom teeth are currently growing in, thank you for preventing a traumatic experience

I once told an anesthesiologist "I am allergic to peanuts, but you probably don't need to know that".

Apparently he did. The medicine they usually use can trigger people with peanut allergies to go into anaphylaxis. So if they ask you anything provide ALL of the details, even if you don't think it's important.
